  1. This picture describes the bad habit and dangers of smoking, and i thought it was interesting to view the person as a skeleton rather than the flesh of a human being.

  2. I think all of these are excellent ideas and could definitely sustain you over the next two terms. I find the "exploring the elderly" the most intriguing and I think shows a depth and maturity in your creative thinking that you would consider this direction. In terms of "black and whites" in regards to femininity/beauty, do you mean extremes in various cultures(for example, Chinese foot binding or the African neck rings) or do you mean the extremes people push their bodies to attain western cultural ideals of beauty (through surgical interventions, for example)?

  3. I like the bad habits concentration. It is similar to your one last year because it can show a more personal side or one to the public, addressing issues in our world and such. I also really like the memories one because it can go into many different directions!

  4. Bad habits is my favorite idea of yours because it is very personal yet general enough for you to express so many different bad habits in a wide range of ways that would leave you open to so much creativity! I think that would make it most fun for you to have that room to develop the ideas you want to, and to send across the message you'd be most personally attached to expressing, since it is your favorite idea too!

  5. I really like your idea of bad habits! I feel like you can go in any direction with this and take any approach yet still make it cohesive. I think its a good way to address many topics of concern in a unique way. I'm excited to see how this will turn out!
