Assignment 4: Save this/that--Poster design.


In this assignment, we're supposed to design a poster that conveys a message according to the theme that we've chosen. The theme I've chosen is: Boycott KFC.



the KFC logo i referenced from.



referenced also from kfccruelty.com


The poster I came up with:

Inspired by "WANTED" posters.


ONE: The usual friendly and amiable Colonel is edited into a nasty evil person, as represented by the horns, and an evil grin.
TWO: There is a color association between the KFC logo and the devil's horns, associating KFC with the devil.
THREE: I wanted to achieve the "old and tattered" feeling. This is done by using a gray background, and adding a yellow tint.
FOUR: The spotlight highlights the Colonel as the prime suspect and the one responsible for everything.
FIVE: The fonts chosen gives a similar "old" feel to the poster. Also, it brings in a cowboy feel, which is in line with the idea of a "WANTED" poster, since we always see "WANTED" posters in cowboy shows.
SIX: "Nobody does chicken like KFC" is a KFC slogan. And it is being incorporated into this poster against KFC, posing a irony and a pun.


That's all! :)

Assignment 3: U C what I C.

I did something for this assignment but wasn't satisfied with the results. So, i'm going to re-do it. Look out for updates. =)

in-class exercise.


We were supposed to draw something that happened around us. "To freeze time", and from the example shown in class, I suppose there should be a sort of ambiguity involved.


I couldn't find inspiration in class, so I walked around school. And I saw this guy looking over the balcony. For a moment I thought he was going to commit suicide or something. I walked nearer and realised he was holding a camera and was simply taking photos of the scenery.




So hence gave me inspiration for the in-class exercise.
And I miss drawing alot, and so took this opportunity to draw too.






It's a simple obedience to the rule-of-thirds.


Nothing very complicated or deep. Although the sense of uncertainty still remains, the feeling it gives is more peaceful than troubled. I guess it reflects my feelings at that point of time as whille--wanting a moment of peace.


Comments?

Random.


I love taking photos. To "freeze time" in the words of Julian. But I'm still such a noob when it comes to photography and photoshopping. For one, I've yet to learn how to use an slr. So for now I have to make do with my limited k800i, which is not even a proper digital camera!


Okay, enough ranting. Here are some pictures I've taken, and edited. Really hope to learn more and improve on my phototaking and editing skills. Please leave me comments on how I can improve. And if there's anything I've done to my photos that you wanna ask me about, feel free to do so okay? Yunno, learn from one another. "Care and share", by sharity elephant.




(This was one of my first edits ever.)
























Deliberately infringed the principle of balance. Makes the whole picture heavier on the right side. Somehow, I prefer it this way. Don't like to be bonded by principles.






Loves comments. Criticise me like nobody's business and tell me what you think honestly. Woot.
