BOTW1 - Best Kept Secret

Need to come up with an idea based around "best kept secret" and then create an outcome. The outcome needs to be tailored to fit the theme. The theme can be anything including a person, product, place, object etc but needs to be something we are interested and passionate about.

My best kept secret:
  • Instagram saved photos
  • Decorative type drawer in letterpress room
Mehroosa's best kept secret
  • Internet history
We both agreed the internet history idea is the best as we both are avid users of the internet, and barely ever clear our history so it could be humorous. The idea is to create a publication based on our internet history the past day that we'll collect at the end of the day, as a publication really contrasts our digital history, and would be interesting to see how we could translate this privacy into a book format.





My history mostly consists of Youtube videos, research for the project, Urban Outfitters and Google Translate. The shapes presented based on the screenshots are interesting and something that could potentially be taken forward.
Mehroosa suggested selecting some websites and using the HTML as the content of the book to explore this privacy as it would make no sense to the viewer, emphasising the idea of it being a best kept secret however I suggested we could potentially include a distorted screenshot of the actual page to use both image and text.





I screenshotted five websites directly from my history.
As there's 13660 lines of HTML on the urban outfitters website, it was basically impossible to paste it all on Photoshop without the software crashing, so I think moving forward we'll need to pick a selection of the HTML.
