I want to choose artwork that is very different to each other, to show off as many of my skills as possible. (instead of having 3 bits that are all very similar.) I had a rough idea in my head what categories to class the work into from the start: Airbrush, Animation and Pixel/Vector based. These are my 3 main strongest areas of work that will really make me stand out and be proud to stand next to my own work.

For my airbrush work, I have chosen to display the traffic cones that I am using for my dissertation. (Research into how objects can be changed with illustration.) I think they would stand out at the exhibition and show the creative side to me that is not linked to a computer. Also would give the audience something to laugh at and wonder what a strange boy I am....

The Pixel based object I have chosen is the "Splat" Effect character that I created last year for a last-minute.com advertising. I created the character from scratch and really find it to be a striking and powerful illustration. It really shows my love of cartoons and shows I am able to creating something from just sketches and ideas in my head. (This design will be printed as big as I can get it, THE BIGGER THE BETTER!!)

Last but not least is my Mario Animation, I worked excessively hard on this piece really pushing my knowledge and skills as far as they would go. It starts off with a cartoon animation that everyone knows and loves and then changes due to the song and becomes a video representation of the song. Once again it is very bright and colorful, bound to attract attention and get the audience to come closer and look. It would have to be displayed on a screen attached to a computer of some kind, which would need to be thought about in great detail at a later date.

Hi Daniel!
ReplyDeleteBe sure,for your presentation, to achieve the AIM of an exhibition: COMMUNICATE, TELL A STORY. I think your prefered topic is closely related to your work (and the rest of the people in your team), but be sure to mention this in your presentation: the connection between your concept and your work (why you decided to work with a Design Studio theme, how does it relate to you work?). The aim of an exhibition is to translate and communicate the message of the work exhibited to the public. Be sure to have this explanation for Thursday. See you then.
