Project 2 – Point of view | R

Hi, here’s some research done for project 2. Was inspired by this particular author (Fran Krause) who makes comics about irrational fears (Known as Deep dark fears), whereby people would submit an entry of their fear while he make a comic about it. I thought it was something reallyrealllly interesting (really like his work as his work conveys different irrational fears in a less intimidating but fun/engaging manner. Sometimes, while reading them, I find that most of these irrational fears tend to relate to me as an individual as well and I can’t help but to nod in agreement to most of them even though it’s irrational. Hahahaha! It’s definitely enjoyable to read them >:D ) .

Here are some of his works,

Here’s a few point of views that I thought of so far,

Fear from the point of view of the dead is cremation.
Fear
from the point of view of a performer is audience.
Fear
from the point of view of Courage is an enemy.
Fear
from the point of view of me is a prison.
Fear
from the point of view of a toilet paper is being stained.
Fear
from the point of view of an eye is contact lens/sunlight.
Fear
from the point of view of face is failed plastic surgery/distortion.
Fear
from the point of view of an egg is frying pan.
Fear
from the point of view of a child is shadows/mirrors/dentist.
Fear
from the point of view of heart is death.
Fear
from the point of view of skin is injection.
Fear
from the point of view of darkness is light.
Fear
from the point of view of an abused victim is a haunting ghost.
Sewing
from the point of view of fear is surgery.

Meanwhile will brainstorm for more POVs!


Below are some inspirations that is interesting in terms of execution, other than these examples, we can also play with negative spaces and apply gestalt principles into our work.

Thought this was an interesting use of representation by connecting the monkey with the roots of the tree to convey the idea that the lives of this wildlife animals is entwined with the trees.

Clever use of graphics to convey the message I thought. Explaining the main hidden heavy consequences behind all inconsiderate disposal of plastic and the reason why one should always consider before disposing any plastic.
