Lectures : 

Week 9 : Digital Surrealism 

Realism : Takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme. There is no need to think outside of the box, as that is not "real."

Surrealism : Surrealism defies logic. Dreams and the workings of the subconscious mind inspire surrealistic art (French for "super-realism") filled with strange images and bizarre juxtapositions.

Digital Surrealism : cultural movement focused on type of arts to express about the artist’s idea themselves. In this digital era surrealism is one of the top digital art styles.

Practical : 

Project 2B : POSTER DESIGN (30%)

THEME: QUOTES OF THE DAY

Instruction:
Student are required to create a poster design composition using elements of photography, typography and vector graphics.  

Process work 

Quote 1 : 

The eyes are useless when the mind is blind

Design concept :
I chose this quote, because i really relate to this quote. Sometimes mind comes first and the others become useless, it sometimes happen to me too. I’m going to use a portrait of woman and then she will be blindfolded with the “blind” word.

Sketch :

Quote 2 :

Don’t grow up it’s a trap

Design Concept : 

I chose this quotes because i think it relate to all of us, it’s just a sarcasm about how grow up is really hard to adapt and growing up for some people is tough. I’m going to portray it with human looking up and seeing a big plant that grow, but the plant is actually venus flying trap, it represent the “trap” word in the quotes, so if u look up u can see if we grow as big as the venus we will be trap.

Sketch : 

fig 2 sketch 2 (week 7)

After some consultation with Mr. Fauzi, he told me to choose another quotes that is more positive but i can keep the "grow" concept.

Final quote : 

It Is Okay to Grow Slow

Design Concept : 

I choose this quotes because it is okay to grow little by little, there’s no rush as long as you’re growing. So i want to interpret that with a little girl looking up a plant that grow bigger than her. It’s like she’s looking up because she wants to grow but she will get there someday too, so it is okay.

After i sketch the idea, i began to search for place to take the photos. For this concept, i need a green environment with trees around. I need a place that easy to access so i take a picture at school.
