We knew it would be easier and much more efficient to browse the high streets Brighton for images and possible knowledge on our chosen object. I decided to ask the wearers we found or even random people their opinions on brooches / pins and the history, or significance to them. The answers we got were pretty much the same;

• meaningful
• themes from yourself
• personality
• ancestors

I personally think these answers were really basic and set such a boring light upon the object, which is obviously not what I am trying to achieve. The interviews have set a clear idea for what I want my outcome to say or look; to set a contemporary approach to the object, allowing them to become more fashionable and updated for the younger generation.
