2D | forest gump final

The following are my final designs for the four quotes!

Quote 1:  You shouldn’t have killed my mom and squished my Walkman! – Guardians of the Galaxy 2 

With reference to the previous conceptual ideas I had, I settled on this final design! Instead of having musical notes in halftone style, I made them fully one coloured, and distorted them!

Quote 2:  I want your eyes man, I want those things you see through.  – Get Out

For the final design, I used the eye element, to have a perception of viewing. In the view, there is a blind man, which signifies the blind guy that spoke the quote. Also, I added hands to the eyeball, showing the “want” element. For the background, I used a grid, to symbolize the “jail” effect, as the main protagonist was cooped up in the house during the movie, unable to escape. Also, the grid also symbolizes the 4 characters that were keeping him hostage – his girlfriend, his girlfriend’s brother, mum, and dad.

Quote 3:  Science is nothing but a piece of trash infront of a profound dream. – Paprika

For the final design, i added a mixture of weird elements to signify “profound dream”. To represent science, I used test tube babies. Test tube babies symbolizes the advancement in science and technology.  Thus, I placed the test tube babies in a trashbin.

Quote 4:  Don’t worry! You’ve got daddy here. He’s got credit cards and cash. – Spirited Away

For this final design, I used the binary background to represent credit cards, and paper ingots for cash. I placed the paper ingots in a way to represent “don’t worry, dad’s got it all covered”, by showing how the pig nose (dad) is surrounded with money.

And tadaa! These are my four final artworks!

Next up, Silkscreen Printing!

We first printed the design we want to print on our tote bag onto a transparency, and then taped it to the silkscreen panels.

Next, we had the workstudy, Clara, to help us with this!

After some time, it was time to silkscreen! I first tried it out on newsprint, to gauge the amount of ink that I need to apply on the silkscreen board so that the print will come out just right.

This is how it looks like on newsprint!
After a few more tries, I printed it out on my tote bag!
And tada, ready for submission!

 

Instructor’s Feedback
Too much clutter in Quote 3.

Peer Review
Quote 2’s background looks like Op Art
Quote 3 seems too cluttered, but it does show the profound dream
Quote 4, couldn’t really tell the Pig’s Nose.

Reflection
One major mistake I did for this project, was not listing down where I got the movie quotes from, resulting in classmates not understanding the artwork and the quote (example Spirited Away) 

I feel that I did a really bad job for this project, especially with the way I play with images and construction. I’m not one of photo collage especially, as I prefer drawing it out myself – as I get more control over it.
Searching for photos is also a crazy tough job. It’s difficult finding an image you like and it’s of the angle you need it to be.
So, I felt that throughout the process, I just kinda gave up on this project.
But, I will try to produce better work for the next project!

Till then,
Flazéda!

2D | forest gump gets out

The second quote I worked on was from Get Out, “I want your eyes man, I want those things you see through.”

Just a basic introduction of the movie, the main character is a black guy, who had a white girlfriend. He went to her family’s house over the weekend and realised that the family’s slaves were all black. Turns out, the girlfriend set a trap which he landed in – she wanted to sell his body to rich white people, a project her family has been working on.

During his weekend there, he met a blind artist, whom took an interest in him. He said the above mentioned quote and bid for his body during the auction.

To start off, I put together a few elements.

I used an eye to represent the ‘eye’ which was mentioned in the quote. I added visually impaired canes around the eye – to represent the character who said the quote, whom was blind.
However, I felt that this does not express the meaning of the quote very well, and hence decided to add in more elements.

I came up with a second design, adding in more elements. Instead of having the canes around the whole eye, I put it only halfway, and adding abstract versions of eyes in the background. I replaced the eye with a view of the ‘outside world’, to represent the view the character sees daily.
I felt that this relates more to the quote but there was too much going on.
After hearing feedbacks, many felt the same way that there was too much, and no main focus. Thus I decided to cut down the elements.

Stay tuned to my final post!

Till then,
Flazéda!
