Graphic Design in Imagineering

[ranny.ransom]

Hi everyone!

I am currently studying for my Masters Degree in Graphic Design in the UK and focusing my thesis on how Imagineers use Graphic Design and Visual Culture within the parks to tell stories.

I'm doing this by creating case studies of specific attractions and analysing them to create a visual philosophy of the parks.

However, to do this, I need lots of very specific images and the issue I have is that I don't have access to the parks around the world and would love to hear from anyone who could potentially help me with this project? It's not anything too involved, just taking a lot of photographs of an attraction and its details?

If anyone is a park local, or a frequent park visitor, at any of the parks, and are up for creating an interesting project, I'd love to hear from you?

Thanks

Hey Ranny,
Welcome to the forums. I know I've got a few thousand pics from WDW and UO over the last 10 years, maybe not enough in depth attraction photos that you are looking for maybe. Going to be at WDW in a couple of weeks so if there's a particular one you'd like me to snap a few shots for you, don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you so much!

I'm basically looking to bit one attraction, store or restaurant and photograph everything in there to make a study of say between 6 and 10 'designed' pieces of work in it. If that something you thin you might have already or would be able to get, that would be amazing?

I've written out a short brief with examples of a study I've already done that might example. I'll attached it here.

thanks again
