This project statement states why I choose to do the chosen
topic for the topic, what I did to complete the project for visual
communication and also what I created for my final piece for the assignment.
I had numerous choices of what I could of done as my sense
of place such family, friends or being on Holiday, but eventually I came to the
conclusion that football was the preferred option been as though as its played
a huge part in my life.
The main reason being why I choose football as my subject
was that its played a massive part in my life because I started playing at the
young age of 6 and I’ve been playing it ever since. Its given me so many things
such as success and teaching me loyalty, and for two years I was lucky enough
to gain the skill of leadership by captaining my youth side. These things not
only have helped me on the football field but also helped me improve in my self
confidence. The football pitch is somewhere where the world around you stops and
you get to express yourself. This is why football means a lot to me it allows
me to express myself where nowhere else lets me, so this gives me the feeling
of belonging.
So to complete the scrapbook I needed to find images of me
playing football, so I went onto my club website got a few pictures off there
and also gathered a few off facebook. I tried to find team pictures of the
teams that I’ve played for and also pictures of when we won cups to show what
I’ve achieved so far. I did find it quite challenging to find a big number of
photo’s but over Easter I went to take pictures of the home ground of my local
team to increase the number of picture to make the scrapbook.
My inspiration behind playing football was Ryan Giggs, he
played for my favourite team Manchester United and he’s Welsh which is the main
thing. The way he played football and his altitude towards the game was par
none one of the greatest., and he’s possibly the best player to ever grace the Premier League. This is why I’ve put him in my scrapbook he’s an icon worldwide
and an inspiration to millions. For him to continue to play at the same level
for 22 years its a incredible achievement and something that the younger
generation can look up to and can hope to achieve one day. Even though he’s a
Manchester United player, a lot of rival teams would do anything to have him
part of their team mainly England.
One of my final piece
for the assignment was a montage of my football photo’s. I used the system photo shop to create the
montage because it was much easier to organise the photo’s into one piece and
make the lay out. I choose to do a montage of photos because it shows some of
the things I’ve achieved in football and also shows all the teams that I’ve
played for. This is my final piece because it shows my sense of place and when
I look at it, it brings back all the memories of what I’ve achieved so far and
it makes me want to carry on playing so I could add more photo’s to it showing
more achievements.
My second final piece is a video of me and some of the lads
from halls of residence having a kick about in the University car park. The
reason why I choose to do this video was because the video shows how football
can bring laughter and make people socialise and have some enjoyment from just
playing in a non game manner. I made the video by using windows movie maker and
then put the song over the video.
