The 30 Day Challenge

these are just some of the pages

I originally planned to make a twitter/blog about this 30 day challenge, and here’s what I was going to write:

Welcome to my 30-day challenge.

I am a Graphic Design student from London and for my Final Major Project I have decided to look into human behaviour… more specifically, human reactions to certain situations that violate the “norm of modesty.”

In my 30-day challenge my objective is to violate these norms, make a fool of myself and initiate a reaction with the public, but most importantly… make people laugh, smile and remember that unique experience.

I sent 30 pieces of paper around my class, and each person has given me a different task to do each day. Some perfectly simple…others, slightly more challenging (and embarrassing)

Everyday for 30-days I will be perform one of these challenges; document it through videos and photographs, and give you a written commentary.

I hope you enjoy this, and follow me through my 30-day challenge! Feedback would be greatly appreciated J
