Brief 47: The Wheel of Fortune

Brief 47: The Wheel of Fortune

Deadline: Monday, 2 April 2012

The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy referring to the capricious nature of Fate. This wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna. In the modern days, the Wheel of Fortune is also a game on television and at casinos. One concept, different ways of interpretations. We're also inspired by Kay Starr's music. What's your take on the brief?

Each month when we put up a brief we try to walk the line between two meanings. We're inspired by dance, colour, movement and of course, shapes. Which way will you go?

Our next brief is a little more fun and directional. Are you a writer? photographer? musician? someone who doesn't do visuals? Then this is definitely a brief for you- remember it's not about being perfect and amazing we just want YOUR take on the brief.

Be sure to leave a comment on your favourite Beyond the Square submissions too. We're hoping to put on another art exhibition following the awesomeness of Sparkmylane last year so we're looking for your feedback. What are you waiting for? Hop to it! (sorry I couldn't resist...)
