Images of Nostalgia

I have put together some pictures that say nostalgia to me.

Nostalgia Ideas

Having a brain storm on the self initiated I have thought about making it about retro games... Alot of my collection of old games are there all because of nostalgia. I feel like i could talk about those the most.

Dropping the idea to a friend he said he also thought about doing old games under the word " RETRO". This sort of put me off so i went back to the word Nostalgia... how could i explain nostalgia?

I created a mind map to try help me think up of things about nostalgia

Self Initiated Brief.

I have decided to choose a word to sum up my self initiated brief; Nostalgia.

Noun A sentimental longing for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. The evocation of these feelings or tendencies, esp. in commercialized form.

I have felt this suits me well as i have quite a library of old things that make me remember when i was younger. I need to create a brief which will outline what it is im going to be doing. I knew from the off that i wanted to create a clothing range not only because i haven't tried it yet in anything ive done whilst at uni I also want it in my portfolio so that will be present. 

I also have a strong feeling towards info graphics and straight away felt this should be included but im not 100% sure..

What comes to my mind when i think of Nostalgia?

• The past
• old things
• childhood
• smells
• memories 

The above are the first things that hit me when i think about the word nostalgia...
