Foundation 4D 1 – G1

Task: Create a 2-D Imagery that consider the use of the following action: ‘Add’, ‘Subtract’, ‘Substitute’ and ‘Superimpose’.

1) Adding to the Image: Smoking Your Way Though (Addition)

Description: I added in a man smoking right infront of the no-smoking sign; to show the blatant irony of how people seem to disrespect rules and signs nowadays almost to the Read more →

We are starting off with a new Project-1A! 

We were tasked to create an image using:-

Add, Subtract, Substitute and Superimpose.

ADDITION

This picture describes Inspiration and Motivation as nobody would expect Usain Bolt to be that fast, showing that we should not give up easily and push to our limits in order to achieve something that no one thought was possible.

SUBTRACTION

(Note: Thought I had published this but apparently I had only saved it as a draft)

Addition

I added an image of a maze to the head. What I wanted to portray is that we should not judge a book by its cover. While on the outside, the lady looks put together and confident, her thoughts are messy and jumbled on the Read more →

Using the methods of addition, subtraction, substitution and superimpose, I aimed for my work to challenge certain laws and societal mindsets and to advocate for certain societal issues that have been ignored.

CHANGE

This was intended to create awareness that although social media allows us to gain insights into another’s life, at times it Read more →

Inspired by The Postman by David Brin, I wanted mail to be the central conceit of my project, with an overall theme of progress. I used Photoshop to manipulate all the images.

Addition

Message: Mail bridges the distance between people, bolstering and solidifying relationships in spite of obstacles.

Debrief: The romantic postcard look emerged by accident, but I think it Read more →

Substitution I used substitution for this photo as I wanted to tap into the sub consciousness of people when they are dreaming. Thus, I have substituted the bed with a dreamy looking background and the subject is sleeping on the clouds which represents how she can be carried away in her dreams as she is not thinking too much when Read more →

Hello! For our first project in 4D class, we were assigned to create pieces with the techniques – Addition, Subtraction, Substitution, and Superimposing.

I wanted to create meaningful and thoughts-invoking images which was why I was inspired to have a theme of “21st Century problems” for the four images. Although I was quite rushed to create these images, I still had fun in Read more →

The very first 4D assignment! To be honest, inspiration had started to hit me when the professor was going through the project brief. Initially, my plan was to find a female model holding and spreading her skirt, then apply the techniques. I wanted to have raindrops falling from her skirt, but then realized that the emotive quality of the image Read more →

So we were supposed to create 4 photos that had to do with add, subtract, substitute and superimpose. It sure did create great confusion in the class.

As for me, I was still very unsure even after the countless attempts to make it clear. Hence I decided on a story first, a story that had to do with the four words.

Goal of work

To bring about awareness of certain social issues prevelent in our society today such as pollution, body imaging, drunk driving and cultural conformity.

Subtraction

This visual is to create awareness regarding the issue of water pollution and its effects on marine life.  I subtracted the interior of the fish and replaced it with garbage to show how pollution has Read more →
