How I plan to transfer my essay theme into my practical work...

My essay mainly focuses on misrepresentation of ethnic minority women within advertising. A friend pointed out to me that it's possibly not my right to create work on something that is not necessarily something I struggle with as I am a white woman, so I think I'm going to bring my practical work back into something broader - the misrepresentation of women in general within the media.

I started by writing out so synonyms to 'mis-representation' and see what I could draw from these words. This was a good starting point because I was so lost because I felt my essay subject was quite serious and I was afraid of insulting people, so I wanted to strip it back a little and just react to simple words instead of diving into the heavy stuff.

My images are very basic but I'm happy that they convey some sort of meaning even if its my first attempt at creating something for this study brief.

My synonyms are : adulteration, colouring, distortion, exaggeration, fabrication, false light, falsification, lie, misstatement, mutilation, not a true picture, slant, strory, stretch, tall story, twist, untruth
