Project 3: Ego In Different Settings

Description

Every person reacts differently in different settings and when they are with different groups of people – although fundamentally they are the same person.

In four rows of three squares, create a self portrait based on four different settings. For each of the four rows, use the first column to represent yourself and the second column to represent a setting and the third column to represent an imagined outcome. For example, you (first column) at a family gathering (second column) equals to being the subject of scrutiny by relatives (third column).

As a designer, it is important to understand the importance of colours in design. In particular, an understanding of colour harmonies allow designers to visually manipulate the aesthetics to produce the desired outcome. Apply your understanding of colours and colour theory to visually represent the mutifacted nature of your personality. You may choose to do this digitally or by hand (or mix-media). There are a total of 12 image compositions. Each individual composition measure 200mm x 200mm (square).

 

Suggestions

Begin by brainstorming on your personality and traits in various settings. Consider both an inward portrayal of your emotions as well as an the outward portrayal that other people could perceive. Consider how colours could be used to suggest or evoke the feelings in the various
representations as well as the cultural context of the various settings. For example, could you take the opportunity to provide an opinion on social gatherings in Singapore or address some stereotypes?
