Research - Kiki/Bouba

I decided to research Kiki/ Bouba in order to better understand how emotive shapes affect photographs this is to expand my colour emotion research.


From the Wikipedia article:


From the Wikipedia article:
I cut out the kiki/bouba shapes from foam board and got a model to display the shapes in front of their face. This was to further test the shapes emotive effect. I asked some students which shape were called "kiki" and which was called "bouba" to see if a persons face effected how they responded. It turns out that people were effected by seeing a face through the shape and associated these words with that person. I want to experiment more with integrating shapes into my photographs.
