On Instagram there is an artist that produced work based around feminism and how girls are subjected to media from a young age, it documentary shoot young girls (13-18), from all walks of life, and interview them about what it is like to be a young girl now. They talked to girls about the current issues with sex education, body image, school, race, culture, fashion industry, LGBTQ+ and much more. This is then documented on the internet, social media ect, in a way that expresses the personal nature of the stories, in different range of collages that appeal to younger audience via the more postmodern unique hand created style and express the emotions/personality of the girls.
The style of this media is used to highlight the experience of the girls, to portray a personal experience in a relatable way for the audience, this is something aimed for by this brief therefore this style can connect to this via the content of work. The company uses many disposable method of photography for their images, this is similar to the style used in the content for the book created for this brief, both have reason for selecting the image capture method as it represent a more of a atmosphere rather than just the image. Both the content for this brief and this website aim to use the media to give effect the images to add more of manual vibe to the work, to give a more imperfect feel to the content therefore the style this brand uses the content is links.
This style uses type and images, along with small drawing, different textures, cut out stickers to create scrapbook style pages that express the atmosphere/tone of voice. The designer overlaps all the aspects to show how the different parts link together whilst representing how all the parts come together to create the piece. It isn't just the elements singularly (text or the imagery or the detail) but them altogether as a whole image that communicates with the audience. All the text is hand rendered, then added for different angles, different sizes of different colours as it an account of a different personal stories, this link to this brief as all the separate pieces of advice or stories for the content come fro the same range of sources,this style also adds intimacy for the audience but showing directly how its relatable and real.

After collection work produced for 'Thats What She Said' more collage research was conducted to see if there was any other style like this or similar that could relate to this content. A way that other collage artist expressed an atmosphere or tone of voice in a similar or any other collage technique that could be added to express a more festively vibe.
