@ when in doubt, freak them out

Process taken: Capturing of images Usage of photoshop to edit

Idea behind this creation: Showcase the new place I call my second home, which is the current hall I’m staying at – Hall 8. As most of us knows, NTU is a smoke-free campus, but there are still many cigarette butts lying around, signifying that many are going against the rule and still smoking.

@ when in doubt, freak them out

In my strange world, everyone are black & white, whereas all the elements of the world, are filled with vibrant colours! This is to signify that in the world, we have everything we want and need, but we are still unhappy with life.

The process of making is done by Adobe Photoshop.

@ qlee011

When I first brainstormed for this project, I thought about paradox in two different ways: visual and conceptual paradox.

The conceptual paradox I thought about was rushing about in life yet going nowhere (routines). I thought about modes of transportation as every country has their own trains and buses and the same goes for Singapore. It is very easily identifiable as Read more →

@ qlee011

Inspiration and research: 

The first collage that I found deconstructed the woman’s face, revealing the things that goes on in her mind contrary to her appearance. In the second collage, the skull replacing the face can be inferred as the woman being dead on the inside hence her reflection being that of a skull too.  These collages shows a desire to Read more →

@ REI

When I got this brief, I still cannot let go of the concept of Alice in Wonderland. My favorite portion of the movie was the tea party when Alice and the White Rabbit joined the March Hare and the Mad Hatter for tea. The paradox of this situation is that it’s always tea time for the Hatter and Read more →

@ Zoey

Inspired from the idea of a dollhouse and the concept of play ( Child’s imagination and a child playing with toys).

Thus by using scale manipulation, I am able to show the contrasting effect in terms of size between the child and me. At the same time, the scaled down image of me in the kayak, make it looks as Read more →

@ Zoey

The strange world that I woke up to was a world of human-animal hybrids with a mix of common objects. Of which, every element of each character hides a hidden meaning or shows part of their personality.

Process taken:

Find and List each character’s personality Finding objects and things that would show that hidden meaning Think of how I can fuse the object Read more →

Georges Bousquet aka Casajordi-

Georges Bousquet creates his collages by first sketching out his ideas on paper and then taking them into Photoshop.  Each work he did has about 300 layers and takes around15 hours to build.

This is an interesting work that appeals to me as the idea of fish flying in the sky is totally out of the world. Not something that we Read more →
