Brainstorming of how to place puzzle pieces
I had to do some brainstorming about what form I wanted the puzzle pieces to be presented in. The first was a puzzle box, clean cut and simple, emphasizing the confusing experience that one would have opening the puzzle without a reference photo and trying to physical piece together the memory. The second was to have all the pieces scattered out on a board with a white background (to not take away from the pieces themselves) so that the way they were scattered would show an uncompleted puzzle or a scattered memory but the drawing itself (with the aid of lines) would give an idea of the picture. The third was to have all of the known pieces of the puzzle put together, and make it seem as if the memory was almost complete but I wasn't exactly sure whether the sky was blue with a few clouds or cloudy as if it was going to rain. The fourth option was to have the corner of the memory that is very clear to me (framed by the bottom railing and glass panel and the red brick) which are two of the parts I remember most clearly and then have the rest of the puzzle spaced out from there so that in the corner the pieces were scrambled to represent the increasing uncertainty I had about the pieces of my memory. This option was also very visually attractive because the balance of the spacing and unruliness of the pieces in the top right was balanced by the stronger bolder images of the bottom left.
