Final Project: 'THE BIG IDEA'

'After choosing the word ‘Intellectual’ from a list of five this project quickly unfolded to be quite psychologically orientated. From my research it became clear that intellectual as a word is widely not fully understood, meaning the outcome would in some way have to indicate toward its definition, or at least the its meaning from my perspective. The particular angle and opinion I chose to take for this project rotated around the notion of ‘being an intellectual’ relies solely on the perception of others, not the intelligence of the individual. In other words, by taking on the traits, characteristics and common stereotypical attributes, anyone could act and be perceived as an intellectual.

To add to the draw of the final posters (including one fold-out A1) there lies the title ‘A sandwich short of a picnic’ which implies that this is a guide, aimed at those who may require some assistance and advice on how to gain more respect amongst friends, would like to be perceived differently and may never have considered themselves ‘intellectual’ before.'

This is what I said on presenting my final posters of the final project of my final term of university. Scary!
