Fragment Reform Design

For this project i had two words "Fragment" and "Reform" and had to come up with a design solution to show this words. whist doing the research i choose to try and go to the psychological route where a person could physically  reform there behaviour. Below was the first design resolution where the reformation would be in the mind with the colours red and green to show the balance to reform someones behaviour for example good and bad. However upon reviewing this piece i can to a conclusion that  although it makes sense to me to the audience it would be something completely different for example many meantion that it indicated memory loss or confusion. This shows how easily it can be interpreted by other people. My words are not easy to show in a design.


The next stage  was to try and simplify the design idea to see if this helps to carry the correct message across. The idea being the puzzle pieces were the fragments and when they were put back in place that was the reformation. However again on the feedback i received it seemed to have been to over ally simplified and the image needed text to explain. Some still associated it with memory because of where the puzzle slot back in place. so the images themselves were gave multilayered communication. An idea was said that maybe a jigsaw noise should have been included. whilst i have not come up with a design solution as such yet that fits appropriately i need to uncover more with the research in order to get a greater understanding of how the readers will see the image.

I feel that the design has come to a stand still and that i need to reflect back on the word reform and try to change the concept that i am trying to portray my work.
