Putting Things Into Perspective II
Overall concept + Presentation Ideas
From the different POVs, I gathered that people take what they saw fit from it and that just proves the point that religion is a self-constructed ideal unlike how its supposedly a fixed set of beliefs that one commits too. In fact, many “rules” I Read more →
Putting Things Into Perspective
“Zen does not ask you to believe in anything you cannot confirm for yourself. It does not ask you to memorize any sacred words. It does not require you to worship any particular thing or revere any particular person. It does not offer any rules to obey. It does not give you any hierarchy of learned men whose profound teachings Read more →
18 Perspectives: Process
So I’ve decided to do use the Koran as an object and the 18 perspectives of groups of people. I want to show how these 18 groups appropriated the verses from the Koran to justify their beliefs.

I wanted to approach this project using illustrations (plan B is to do up collages) and make them look like tarot cards. For this project, I’m only going to use the Major Arcanas in a tarot deck.
I really like Tiffany’s (aka Lovage) illustration style (though I think it will take quite some time to do)
Inspirations
The artist is Anderson Debernardi, and he was born in a village near the Amazonian rainforest. I love his paintings because they have a psychadelic feel and combine a plethora of colours together almost seamlessly to create a sense of mystique and it seems that the paintings have a life of their own.
Point of View Research
After the Typographic Portrait project, I decided to continue with the theme of animals for this project and decided to look from the perspective of how different animals see themselves. I decided to try a new style of drawing this time, and took inspiration from a new digital art series about Cats as Snacks.
POV: Research
All the sources of the images should be linked (if you click on the image itself)
I’m working with the idea of a silhouette, so here are some ideas on how they should/could look~:
The background of my silhouettes will be cityscapes though, so I looked into the different style and medium this could be done.
Most are in traditional medium Read more →
The Final Results
At the end of the project, I was really glad with the results and how I was able to create something digitally and reproduce it faithfully using analog media. The animation and the interactive experience of playing with the postcards really complemented the concept that I was trying to convey.
Assembling the Postcard
Here are some images of the process of assembling the final postcard. I created a plastic sleeve with the moiré screen and the text descriptor printed on. The actual frames of the animation were printed on a separate piece of paper that was inserted into the sleeve. The movement of the slip inside creates the animation.
