Audio Description


‘Hearing’ Sound Design
These 4 images represent 2 sets of opposites but mainly 4 different senses. The first image and second image are smell and touch respectively. Smell is shown in the first image through the silk fabric which is scented with an elegant fragrance in the zine. Touch is shown in the second image through the collaged layers of the image and the use of piercings added in the zine. 

The two final images represent hearing and taste respectively. Sound is shown in the third image through the design of the hearing aid, by Freya East, highlighting the need for representation of hearing impairments in fashion, but also the sound design that can be heard on this page. Finally, taste is shown in the final image, through the paper in the zine being edible as well as the model having Lip Jewels and a lollypop present. 

Contrast is shown in each pair of images through colour and composition. Firstly, in the first two images Black and White colours are used, with the first image having a black background behind Gianluca La Villa’s white silk hooded shirt and the second having a white background with the model wearing a striking black suit and tie, with sharp black eye makeup.

In the final two images, both models are positioned back to back as if they are in argument, with the third image having a dark blue background against the model wearing a light blue jacket, all silver jewelery and makeup and cold, pale excentuating tones. The final image contasts this using a pink background with the model wearing all purple, excentuated by various different gold jewellery.
