The decision.
I have created these two info-gram showing the price change of 26 weeks from 26 fuel station in a 26 mile radius of my home. I have created these images to show that the only thing that changes is the price. The product is just a copy of the one before yet we are still willing to pay different prices for the same thing.
What I want my image to show.
I would like my image to be based around around the idea of the price change within the fuel industry. I will take a single image of a sample of fuel and reproduce this 26 times ( My Ruscha reference). I will then collate 26 prices of fuel changes of a 26 week period ( Ruscha reference). I will then explore simple layouts with the bare minimum information supplied, but still enough to show the importance of the image ( Derek Stroup reference). My idea will be working towards
The paper movie.
When exploring Ruscha' work I was intrigued by the idea of the "Paper story". Being able to tell a whole story in an image. I was inspired by Dejan Habicht and how he managed not only to show the connection with Rusha' work but he also got his image to tell a narrative in one image. The idea of using one image to portray a narrative is something I would like to explore in this micro project. I want to use my clean scientific approach to image making but still be able to show

My initial thoughts; After watching the material provided I have to say I wasn't moved or effected by Rushas work. I found it rather monotonous and not engaging. The images didn't have depth are were lacking interoperation they were more a documentation of the subject for another purpose such as document gathering rather than artistic. But whilst looking at the images in this way ( documenting) and listening to the information provided, I couldn't help look for a meaning with
