From Images To An Imaginary Company

      Recently for our VA301 course, there was this homework that we're supposed to conjure up a company, along with its name and its logo by looking at irrelevant images and associating them together. First of all, here there are the images I chose:




















   













And here is the picture with all of them together:















     When I first looked at the photo with "superhero"ish granny I thought that the company could be a "hero creator/provider" company. I tried to analyze deeply then, I thought " She is old yet she could be a superhero, so it reminds me something that is easy to attain, a company that gives importance to equality and is lenient."
      Another thing that strengthened my decision that the company should be a hero creator company, is the picture with the city peeling off the ground. The city peeling off gave the sense of a disater; for example as if the city is tsunami itself. So city has many problems and disasters in itself, and what would be good for a city like that? A superhero!
      Another picture is the one with the people who have huge grins on their face. When I looked at this picture I thought of two different things:
1) The company must be such a company that has almost 100% customer satisfaction; but almost, because noone is perfect. The customers must be happy enough to grin from ear to ear.
2) These people have huge grins on their face and look happy, but not all of these people's eyes smile as their lips do. So this brings the fact that there are lots of  people that have bad intentions who can hide their true nature and look like a good person. If a customer of this hero provider company happens to be one of these people, the consequences would be really dangerous.
       But how can the company distinguish these bad people? Actually it won't have to do anything, leaving this matter to nature itself will do. I'll explain later.
      The picture with vases that resemble bust sculptures which have plants sprouting from their top gave me the idea of how the company will work: The company will sell seeds that create the superheroes. The seeds will vary according to the capabilities of the hero, its ripening time, and the duration of its existence.When the customer receives the seed, he or she will plant the seed. And when it gives its fruit, which will look like a translucent sphere that has the function of a womb, the superhero will fulfil the duty given. When the duty is fulfilled the hero's existence will come to an end.
       About the matter of distinguishing ill-mannered people, earth will do it. Earth has the feature of absorbing negative energy, not just physical but spiritual too. If someone with bad purpose plants this seed, it will not give fruit at all; because the earth will absord the person's negativity and that negativity will cease the growth. By the way the company warns the customers about this matter beforehand.
      The last image which is a woman's body with multiple arms reminded me of someone who could reach or do anything, well and fast at that. The superheroes provided by the company would be like that too in their area of duty. Another thing is, the creature looks weird, almost like a freak, but it's beautiful and elegant at the same time; and that's how the company is.


     














    These are my final sketches. I decided to name the company "SOWHERO" , inspired by the saying "You reap what you sow." The customers will sow the hero, then they will reap the hero. I thought the sowing action has more importance and meaning here, so it's not reaphero.
