FINAL PROJECT!

FINAL PROJECT

Theme:

LOVE

This theme"LOVE" is the passion for something or someone we love. People care about each other, we share our feelings and we show our enthusiasm. Also, we love to do the things we are interested in to connect with other people. 

~IMAGES~

❤1❤

This is an image that represents "Family Love". In the first image, there is my mom and dad, in the second image is my sister and I, then my brother, and another younger brother. Family holds the most important position in my life. Even though I'm a really naughty and noisy girl, they never dislike me or give up on me. Family members are always there to help you when you are puzzled. Furthermore, as you can see in these pictures, I cut off each person's face in half and aligned it with the next picture. This is showing how we all look alike and we are a family. 

❤2❤

This is an image that represents "Country Love". For example, I chose the color red paper and wrote down the word "LOVE" in many different languages. I used the Canadian flag, because the flag is red and the symbol of a maple leaf is easy and clear. Also, a image of people giving a salute to the flags, expressed their respect and with patriotic. This is showing how much people love their own country. 

❤3❤

This is an image that represents "the colour of love". I looked for all the red things, like shoes, shirts and pants. I also asked my rommie, Vicky, to paint her nails red. When we have to expand more on the colour red, we definitely think of the definition love, passion and desire. I also changed the images a bit brighter, so the colour red can stand out more.  

❤4❤

 

This is an image that represents "Friendship Love". In each images, I used the shadows to capture their happiness between each other. Friends are when you are sad, they will always bring joys and cheer you up. When you're happy, they will always share the fun to another. Friends will always be there for each other no matter what, encouraging, comforting, caring and sharing. 

❤5❤

This is an image that represents "Couple Love". In each images, I used the effect to make it a little red-ish color. By doing this, I also not showing their face that much. Somehow, by showing their body languages, people can easily tell they are a pair of couple. For instance, hold hands, play around, hug and kiss...ect.
  

❤6❤

This is an image that represents "Things we love to collect". In four of these pictures, there are Iphone cases, dolls, hats and perfumes. I took these pictures at my friends house, and they said they started to collect these since a long time ago. This is showing how much they really love them.

❤7❤

This is an image that represents "An Old couple's love". I took these two images at our schools' field. I remembered how I came up the idea of taking old couples are because the old men, walked to me and said want to take a picture of us? Therefore, the idea suddenly poped into my mind so I said YES. I like how they are so nice and respect to each other. From their actions, I can tell they are a really sweet couple. 

❤8❤

This is an image that represents "What people love to do". Adele likes to ride horses, Heehwan likes to take photos and Julie likes to read books. Each person have one thing or more than one things they like to do. For me, I like to hang out with friends and do arts. 

Urban Camo Project (own example)

CAMO!!! MY EXAMPLES x3

1

This is my favorite Urban Camo Project I did so far. I took all my pictures and combined them together and printed it all out. Most of the pictures are repeated but people can't really tell. Nevertheless, I used black and white to represent all those unforgettable good days. The knob she is holding on, I'm trying to tell people that I'll keep all those memories till the end. Anyhow, the person in my picture is my roomie, Vicky. She only wear tank tops and shorts and let me stick all the pictures over her body. Also, the background we just stick them all together. However, I uncover her right hand, so people will know there is actually a person in this picture. Even though, this project  took us more than an hour and a half or more to finish it. But, it is totally worth it. I also asked my drawing teachers if I can use this picture to be one of my project to apply Emily Carr and they say YES!! :D 

 2

This is my second Urban Camo Project. I just came to Canada last summer, and I really like this place. The environment, the people around me, the food, everything. So, when I was thinking what example I can use, this was the second one that pot in my mind. The person in this picture is my roomie, Vicky. We together bought the fake flower petal, the big Canadian flag and four big pieces of black papers. How we did was stick all four black papers on the wall and stick the flag on it. Then, I ask Vicky to wear white shirt, white shorts, black stockings and a black scarf. Also, we traced half of the maple leaf and cut if out with red paper so I can stick on her right hand. Overall, I kind of use a little effect to make it more like there is no one is this picture. I showed this picture to few of my friends and they told me, the first time they thought it was a pillow instead of a person. And yess I did it :DD 

                                                                 3

This is the last example for my Urban Camo Project. As you can see, this is a Mummy made out of tissue pappers. In this picture, I'm trying to use the flower to represent a life and showing that the Mummy wants a returning life as well. Seating on a chair telling that, the Mummy is depress and hopeless. So, in this picture I can actually tell a story from it.  The person in this picture is my roomie, Vicky again. I asked her to wear all white, so she can be easily cover by the tissue pappers. I uncovered her both hands and her eye, that will be easier to tell that she is holding a live plant. The Mummy is hoping to be like a real human again. This is what I'm trying to show everyone.

❁ Yvonne Bayer ❁

Yvonne Bayer was born in Ulm, Germany 1983, making her 30 years old. She lives and works in cologne/ Germany. She had a diploma communication Design, Karlsruhe University of Art and Design. 

Yvonne is a communication designer. She likes to work in different fields like graphic design, exhibition, religion and culture projects. She really enjoy every projects she is working on. This moment, she is looking for someone who is interesting on freelance projects, that can also join them. 

Yvonne has won serval awards, such as, 1st prize poster contests for the 19th Karlsruhe artist fair and design the cover of the picture beat: Output award 2010.

Another Urban Camouflage designer, Sabina Keric. They team up together to work on the camouflage projects. They think this project "deals with the question how to camouflage oneself and one's identity in the commercial space". Also, they like to see costumers reactions because the customer expects nothing out of ordinary in a world of brands and price labels.

Overall, I like how Yvonne Bayer inspired the costumes by <<Ghillie Suits>>, the suits of snippers and hunters. Most of her projects are made out of cheap and simple materials, like bottle, gloves, boxes and papers. This really inspired me a lot, instead of painting all over yourself. This project is more creative and brilliant.

EXAMPLES!! x3

→ → 1→ →

I chose this picture because I liked how Sabina and Yvonne actually put all the color paper together into a suit. It definitely took them tons of times. Also, at the first time I saw this picture I thought it was too much paper and it was spilling out of the boxes. 

 → → 2→ →

I chose this picture because I liked how they are creative. Also, using cheap and recyclable boxes. I think this is pretty funny as well, if it's me I bet I will have a funny reaction at these random pop up boxes person. 

 → → 3→ →

I chose this picture because I liked how they were able to put on all the bottles into a suit, they definitely took lots of time doing it. They also used another cheap and recyclable resource to make up this project and I found out this is pretty cool and brilliant idea.

• I laid the table and the chair down on the ground, I got my Mac and my binders too to pretend it was on the table; but they were actually on the ground as well. For the background, I took two posters to make it not that dull at the back. 
• I used Photoshop to find a better effect that works the best.

1♕

I chose this photo because I liked how they picked the place to take the shot, it made it like they really were in the wood and making ghost out of a sheet. Moreover, the vacuum cleaner was quite funny of how they were trying to let the sheet fly in the sky. The boy with long pants, the way he was looking at the ghost was really realistic; like three of them were having tons of fun in the wood.

   2♕   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

I chose this photo because I liked how it was so realistic. The girl was pulling the red short boy up, and the other boy is pulling the girl up. Also how they are standing on the rock, make me think they really are on a big rock. For the background, there are grass and few rocks makes it more like they're rock climbing.

3♕

I chose this photo because I liked how it reminds me of Harry Pottor. It is one of  my favorite movie and I love all of the characters in there. In this picture they sit on the broom stick, shows that they are really flying in the sky with the broom stick; especially they didn't put their head on the ground, they kinda tilt a little and make it more real. Moreover, the cloak feels like there are wind blowing. 

DIGITAL ASSIGNMENT X3

 Digital Assignment 

First, I took pictures from my cellphone. I used Photoshop, created a new document with 1000x1000 pixels with all the default settings; and changed the background layer with black colour. After, I selected the horizontal type tool and placed the words I wanted to put on. I used songs. When I finished typing it, I rotated the text to 45 degrees. To follow, I opened photo and copy it to my canvas over text layer; pressed shift to make the size same as the text. I then pressed Ctrl+ shift+ I to invert the selection. With selection active, I selected photo layer and pressed Delete to clear the selection contents. Overall, I pressed Ctrl+D to deactivate selection. TADA!!
