2D – Project 2 x Forrest Gump
2D – Project 2 Drafts and Final Design
What I’ve done so far:
I picked version 3.1 for the quote “Free your Mind” after several revisions and feedbacks from friends @val, @chris and prof @mimi :). I also used this as the final design for the tote bag as I love cats, and it could sell well if it was an actual design targeted to cat lovers and partly because the cat symbolizes the paradox of dejavu in the Matrix world..
Other than that, I have also developed the other three designs through stages.
I decided on version 3.1 for the quote “I see dead people”.
Not much development on this quote as I’ve settled on version 2.
Version 4 of this quote really speaks for the movie as there were alot of symbolism that is depicted on the movie like cicadas, the girl’s hair and the fishes represent the first leap that she did after discovering her power.
So what did we do in class for our silk screen printing?
Dark room to make our silkscreen by using emulsion and exposure.
Test print 1.0 on paper done! Look at em details. So lovely. 🙂
Will update soon!
– edited to try the gallery feature!
2D – Another update
A video that was stitched together during the class last week! Had fun doing the printing together with classmates.

The Matrix, Morpheus on requesting Neo to free his mind. One of my favourite all time movie since young, partly because this is the first movie I watched at the theaters alone just because I really wanted to understand the whole matrix concept and its ideologies. Great movie to watch if love to screw your own mind haha.
“I’m trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it. You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.
The Sixth Sense where Cole told Malcolm his dark secret.
Cole: I’m ready to tell you my secret now.
Malcolm: Okay.
Cole: I see dead people.
Malcolm: In your dreams? [Cole shakes his head no]
Malcolm: While you’re awake? [Cole nods]
Malcolm: Dead people like, in graves? In coffins?
Cole: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re dead.
Malcolm: How often do you see them?
Cole: All the time.
V for Vendetta, where V’s talking to Evey about the gunpowder treason.
Evey: Who are you?
V. : Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey: Well I can see that.
V. : Of course you can, I’m not questioning your powers of observation, I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Evey: Oh, right.
V. : But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.
Evey: Are you like a crazy person?
V. : I’m quite sure they will say so.
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I know of no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot…
Batman – the Dark Knight, love Michael Caine portrayal of Alfred here in Christopher Nolan’s version of Batman. The script is deep and very insightful to the overall Gotham Theme.
Alfred: “…some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money.
They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
I’m not too sure this considered as a quote as it’s the narrator who narrates the taglines, but I guess it is still a quote from a movie? 🙂 Anyway love time travelling movies and how they explore the pseudoscience on time leaping and the effects on how the world could change by just a slight variation. Known as the Butterfly effect.
Narrator: There is a future that we can’t wait for.
Leap into the adventure of a lifetime!
Time waits for no one!
Took 5 of my favourite all time movie’s quotes for the next project called Forrest Gump.
*Edit: Finally had the time to update, didn’t know I posted it, thought I save it as draft. Weird OSS being weird as normal.
