Project Reflections

My favorite project this semester was definitely the advertisement spoof.
I really enjoyed creating the satirical descriptions, slogans, critiques, and the spoofs.

Working with photoshop was incredibly enriching and I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to understand the tools and how they work, especially making small changes on the Olay Makeup advertisements....

I might spend time on extra details next time, and polish things up.



I was really harsh on Olay.

I didn't really like illustrator, because I wasn't good enough to pay attention to detail and everything was choppy. It was also troublesome to attach everything.

I chose the theme of final to be: aspirations.



Anyways, here is my final.

Kinetic Text

Song: Purple Yellow Red and Blue

Artist: Portugal the Man

Media: Music Video (Kinetic Text)


This song is by a really weird psychedelic rock band that nobody has ever heard of.....

Alien Horror Movie

This theatrical production was inspired by various movies I've watched.

I thought of an alien getting power from earth, looking for electricity and human bodies to recharge them so they could return to their extra terrestrial dominion and rule over more powerfully. I know its not that  original, and I apologize.

I cast Sydney and Hannah (both very pretty) to play my confused and terrified girls. I was incredibly impressed by Sydney's acting... (especially the scream) and Hannah's furious one-liner.

The point of the story is that the alien tries tactics to find human hosts (to give it demonic energies).
It picks Ella to inhabit first, but ends up killing her and revealing its true form (me) to Courtney.  Since inhabiting Ella doesnt work out (Ella is too weak to supply enough), the alien pleads to Courtney to teach it how to lure humans.

It return, the alien promises to resurrect Ella, and it does.

Of course, Ella is confused and begins to bash and abuse the bored looking alien, and the alien decides just to kill them both so that they supply it with energy of a whole person. (Ella and Courtney are both small women, they don't have enough each to satisfy the alien.)


The end. They die. The alien is bored out of its mind.

Joanne Nam Artist Influence

This image captured my interest and admiration at an instant. It had a melancholy, surreal, and reflective  style to it. 

The reason I picked it was because the artist painted it with a certain beauty that I appreciate. It had a realistic quality to it. 

It reflected a sadness that I am fascinated by. 

It felt like a connection to a certain quiet aesthetic. The image reminded me of a girl stuck in a silent, cold world, disconnected from real life, and lamenting on her past, looking crest fallen. 

Details: 

Her eyes are rimmed with red and downcast, so it seems like she is either crying, in anguish, or looking at a dead animal. 

Either she is in a state of confusion, wearing a raincoat while it is clearly finished snowing, or it is symbolism, wanting to protect her fragile body from the cruelty of the outside world with the wrong strategy. 

The wolf/dog looks intelligent and alert, seeming to be her only friend. 

Corel Apple

Corel Painter seems really cool.

Isn't it BOSS? I love apples. No actually I lied... I HATE apples. But this one looks good.
