Synecdoche

SYNECDOCHE

Synecdoche: One of the most confusing things to understand... took me half an hour to process what the hell it meant!

"A figure of speech in which a term for a part of something refers to the whole of something"

Examples: Calling a bicycle 'Wheels'

4 eyes (someone who wears glasses)

Bubbles (champaign)

I found it really difficult coming up with different ideas. These are people from school, work and my flat but I guess its easier to nickname people if you work at a pub or something...

 I think that this works best as an image when it is smaller than when it is large! It is more playful.

This is the lady that run the dance school I taught at. She is referred to as Ladybird and has even named her dance school Ladybird Borland school of dance. She is predominantly a ballerina, teaching ballet so I thought it would be apt to have her twirling into a ladybird. Each image becoming more ladybird-like. I also joined the images up with ladybirds and their flight paths. I thought the type worked best underneath her feet, like a stage.

I guess that this task fits with the new project due to the fact that you have to take the human out of the human. Not portraying their character rather portraying them through something which sums them up. This probably needs some re-working to get totally there... to the point where it is a ladybird flying away. However ladybirds are difficult to merge from an elegant ballet dancer!
