Final Assignment

Of inner emotion and outer expression.

That is the title for my video. For my final assignment, I chose the topic sadness and depression. In the video, the subject seems to be happy. She deceives people with her outer expression. Instead of using facial expression, self abusing, suicidal thoughts and what not, she uses art as a medium to express her broken self. In a way, it gives a positive outlook on depression too. 

P/s, I'm sorry I only posted a link.

Depression

Depression is a condition that can be linked to the emotion of being sad. The feeling after being rejected, pushed away. Having all sorts of problems coming in at once. A bad case of depression can even affect one's mind. It can even lead to suicide.

Here's an article about depression, one that I think can somewhat explain a little bit thoroughly on this subject.

What Is Depression? What Causes Depression?

For this assignment, I chose depression because I feel like it is VERYcommon for people to be depressed. Even for something really stupid. However, it should not be taken lightly. People still are not that aware of how a depressed person will act. Even the tiniest bit of mistake can cause them to act stupidly.

THE PROS

I used the "Facebook" concept to do this artwork. It acts like a map. The head represents people from other countries, the red lines' meaning varies based on the thickness of each line. Thickest being them knowing each other really well, and it subsides as the line grows thinner. The font explains itself.

THE CONS

I used the colour blue to represent the victim as it shows innocence. The victim might only want to use the internet to socialize, but little did he/she know that there are people watching. The people lurking in the depths of the internet. The darker the shade of grey, the more dangerous they get. These are the predators.

The Internet.

With the modern technology, the internet claims itself to be the best source for almost everything nowadays. I guess the only thing you can't do on the internet is get your food delivered through it. You can find products, images, videos, news, the latest gossip and even meet new people with the help of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Friendster, Myspace etc. However, the internet does have it's flaws. People can get cyber bullied, stalked, robbed, and  the invasion of one's privacy is very common.

Things like these are easy for people who knows how to hack. Nowhere is safe on the internet. Noone should be trusted fully, unless you know them personally. But people nowadays are very gullible, especially the kids. Since even my 8-year-old sister knows how to use Facebook. When I was 8, the only thing I know how to use is the TV remote and Gameboy. They don't even play normal games like, hide and seek, "congkak", "batu seremban". What they know? Farmville. See how the modern technology is affecting the children nowadays?

Final Design for Assignment 2

The letters on top, with the different colour represents the people. The big T is the obstacle, a "balance" if you may. If the letters above choose to not unite, and stick together, they will fall over, and making balancing each other hard since the T is not quite stable. The saying "United we stand, Divided we fall" goes well with this image.

Unity

The second assignment, is to create an expression through typography. For this assignment, I chose the topic Unity. I was inspired by the saying "Together we stand, Divided we fall".

To me, when I see the society nowadays, with all the rally and what not between the people and the government, it saddens me. Why can't we all just unite for a better future? It's for the future generation too. It's not like with all those "peaceful" rallies, the government will actually do anything. However, the government needs to buck up too. If the people are not satisfied, then I guess they have to find a way to somewhat get them to like them, I guess.

Here are my reference about the topic.

Final Design

This is my final design for Assignment 1.

The meaning behind this artwork?

• The 3 walking people represents mankind.
• Different colour of shoes represents the sexual orientation of someone. - Pink for the lesbians, blue for the gays, and purple for the straight.
• Green for the background. Why? Green represents harmony.

As you can see, I've made them look the same, only with a different colour of shoes. It only shows that no matter what sexual orientation that you have, we are still the same. We all are human. So why can't we just live together in a peaceful and harmony way? Thus, why should you judge?
