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 spirits flew away

The fourth quote, “Don’t worry! You’ve got daddy here. He’s got credit cards and cash.” is from Spirited Away, a movie we all know about.
The quote was spoken by Chihiro’s father when the first arrived, and were grabbing food.

I made an initial design with exact representation of the quote. I used a man in his mid-fourties to represent daddy, with cash and credit cards at the back. This was just a design to inspire me.

 The second design was made out of fun hahaha. I made a face out of the elements I used, a moustache, a credit card chip and a ingot made out of incense paper. 

For the third design, I used a pig’s nose with a moustache to represent Chihiro’s father, as he turned into a pig after eating the food. I placed the paper ingots on the edges of the canvas, to show the background. The background, is the representation of credit cards. Credit cards, when swiped, goes through an electrical system, which forms these kind of binary system.

Next, I used the same elements, but removed the binary background, and added a hand holding a few credit cards. At the background, i used a tower of paper ingots. But the arrangement of all the elements doesn’t seem to really go well.

I changed the hand of credit cards into a plate of credit cards, to represent the “food” he was eating. But the background didn’t seem fitting and they elements felt like they were separate entities.

I decided to use credit cards surrounding the pig’s nose, to signify that Chihiro’s dad got it covered, showing them being protected by money/credit cards.

Stay tuned to my final post!

Till then,
Flazéda!
