Perfume Personalities
Outcomes:
I am intending to create an illustrative flow diagram to match up the viewer with a particular type of fragrance. This would be interactive in an exhibition or could be used for a fun feature in a magazine. This will need to be incredibly visually interesting and entertaining rather than serious.
I will need to record the development of a variety of designs for this in a journal and on my blog. Researching these flow diagrams, perfume advertisements in magazines and the typical colours used in promoting perfume will be necessary in creating an effective and visually stimulating piece of work. I will also need to do tests on a number of people, to check that the diagram works practically and effectively and is fun, as it is intending to be.
Aims:
Through this project I will develop more skills in presentation and professionalism of final pieces of artwork as well as making diagrams visually appealing to a majority of people. I will also need to consider how the diagram would work in a public gallery, as well as in a magazine.
Target Audience:
“Perfume Personalities” will be aimed at mainly females. These are the target audience of the type of popular magazines that could potentially use this flow diagram. However, it would also be an interactive piece of work that could be used by anyone that will visit the Art360 exhibition where it will be displayed. It is fun, so could be used by anyone wanting to match themselves up with a particular type of scent from fruity, musky to oriental or tropical.
Perfume Bottle Illustrations with descriptions:
Illustrations should look beautiful & accurate to the actual object. The descriptions should be fun & coincide with the actual illustration.

Interested in celebrity culture, style and glamor? Enjoy smelling like your favourite icon? Why not go for a perfume bottle that expresses your personality and preferred celeb?
