Manifesto of Me

  • Vanessa Mountain

A one week university project in which we were tasked to create a concertina book exploring identity. Prior to writing our dissertation's it was an exercise to get us thinking about our career and life goals, as well as defining it into a particular area of practice.

Rules
- Tell us, visually who you are and what you are all about. It much be your own original imagery.
- It must be 9 frames A6 (landscape). *To make it close properly I added an extra page.
- The concertina must have a vertical direction.
