I was quite pleased with my outcomes from the FMP research project and created multiple illustrations that reflected my initial focus points surrounding Playboy, the portrayal of women and ‘the self’. I initially envisioned my FMP outcome to be somewhat of a photobook/zine that built on my illustrations to construct the idea of ‘families’ in a mundane yet twisted way. As I started to research more into this concept, I quickly found myself becoming less motivated with the idea- as I wanted to keep my illustrations focused around the portrayal of women only. I was unsure of how to develop my illustrations more and create a deeper, well-rounded discussion from them. I went back and forth on the concept of families and tried to redefine how I could discuss the topic in my work. A few evenings later, my housemates and I were playing card games and it led to us having a discussion about them, what they represent and their visuals. I started to think about the suits (restriction and segregation), the ‘house of cards’ (families) and the rules we must follow in card games- (a lot like the constructed gender boundaries placed in society) and thought this would be an amazing symbol for my FMP concept!
