Tutorial

After having a chat with my tutor I have been trying to think of a good way to push this idea a little more, and yet still keep the basic makeup of the physical submission the same, as I have the materials and steps to make it work.

I have come up with a alternative storyline with extra parts. For example, on the opposite page that the spinny outfits is on, I was thinking of having a title  describing the design - and my new thought it to have parts on this page that you can lift up, which reveal another outlook. For example, on the "Unfitting" page a businessman will be wearing a new world outfit, which would not be acceptable to the social group he was trying to belong to at work. But an alternative story would be that he spilt coffee on his shirt on the way to work, and his sons New World shirt was in the back of the car, so he wore that instead. Or a retail worker girl wearing her workout gear might be that she is working in a sports shop. I hope to highlight two parts of uniforms. That we try to fit in to what is expected, and join the same social group as our work colleagues by wearing similar outfits, and that if we weren't working the correct one we would find ourselves being judged, and not following the rules. Then there is the alternative part where our own stereotypes get in the way and we can't let that lead to judgements of what work people do as it might be completely different.
