Death by Appointment



These images are my design for Death by Appointment book covers.


My idea is using a timetable page to lead viewers pay attention to the title.


My 1st draft contains the "unaccomplished" word for the meaning of cannot finish the work in the timetable because of some " mysteries" and people will try to figure them out.


My finish cover has a red letter in the middle of the page for getting attention. People can see this letter as the "appointment". the note in the page is grey and covered by blood, which has same meaning as "unaccomplished".


The bookmark is created which has a pen and some documents at the top for the connection to the timetable note.


And even though I try so hard to upload the right color images, there's some problems with them.+_______+. Every time, all images just turn the color into a disaster no matter what resolution I change .


I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

Forest fire


Here is my forest protecting poster XD. My idea suddenly came out when I looked at leaves in my garden. By comparing two opposite images in a humorous ways, I believe the poster will be paid attention and stay in people's mind more then other images.

Also, I give a statistic a bout forest fire for people to know the purpose of this poster.

All images are taken by me :D

Violence in family poster


In my poster, the unique image is a broken puppet which covered by many cracks.

The doll, representing for wife, not only is soulless but also carries on many "wounds". In fact, when a husband uses violence on his wife, he does not have his half to share feeling anymore, just a doll that takes all his meaningless actions.

Also, soullessness and cracks on her body showing a sorrow feeling not only on body but also on feeling.

Background is black, contrasts texts in an effective way. Distorted and broken typeface is applied for being suitable to the whole poster's meaning and style.

In addition, these text have different sizes and arranged in order to emphasize each important meaning.

I think I work well in this poster^^ Hope to receive your comments :D.

My flash :")



This is the flash I made for motion typography.

Firstly, "All right" appears with the red exclamation point for showing a strong emphasize. After that, "who" which pushes the "All right" away in order to presenting the speed of the saying.


"DID" and "IT" are punned. Also, its meaning is "it" comes inside from "DID".


The next sentence is arranged for pointing out the "not" word. Then, the following saying is arranged like coming upstairs, a way to expressing the voice and speaker's feeling.


Finally, I upturn "PUNISH" to make it hit "them"- as the definition of "punish", and finish the sentence.



Lowercase and uppercase in this flash are considered based on their importances.

Hesitation


Here is my assignment 2.

There are ten pictures used in my work. The main subject is hesitation.

A dry land with many cracks is chosen to be the background for the collage. It represents a broken tired, like “dried” feeling.

The main character is the face of a man- a husband, at the top- left side. Everything in the whole picture is his “hesitated” thinking. Also, just half of his face is shown and others sink in his dark feeling.

A part of a woman’s back picture is on a frame which is put at the corner. The glass frame is cracked while the woman has no color. These mean that in the husband’s heart, his wife’s existence is not precious anymore. Crack glass covering the wife picture for a deep thought wounds.

In the right hand side of the image, there is a dead-dried tree expressing the situation of the main character’s family. In addition, a crying girl is on a branch of the tree. In fact, the most colorful figure in the whole picture is this girl-who is the daughter of the man. It is understood that the girl is the only thing making his life livelier and also the only one thing stop him going away.

The man understands his daughter’s feeling, that’s why inside his mind, she is crying lonely, leads him to a hesitated situation.

The girl represents for the only leaf of the tree.

In the middle of the picture, wedding rings with just black and white combined with a waking-away figure in order to describe a leaving thought. Marriage now is just a burden.

Even though this thought is really strong- explains why it is arranged in the middle, the most colorful part is still his daughter. All results a wrestle in his mind.

Basing on these factors, the college is created.

All lonely.


This time, I change my mind. Light, darkness and dark background are combined like my previous idea. However, the light just can shine small corners. Also, the only organic one is the bird of paradise flower which is "looking above" and "seeing" a very unsteady light.

Inside and outside walls just emphasize the cold sense.

I think I apply the unity principle not bad ^^.

An outstanding artificiality


Tonight I become an amateur photographer:")

This scene is taken in my house's corridor.

In this picture, I want to express an idea about nature and artificiality.

Everything in this picture is just made by human except plants. Two lights above can be considered as artificial suns of two cactus pots.

Also, I want to show how nature is surrounded by human and artificiality. That's why I take the picture from the ground( from the bottom) to represent that the wall is great, the light from the lamp is so shining while plants are small and blur.

In addition, I want a balance to smooth the view and make the picture look like "yeah, a normal picture", unless viewers start to think about the cactus' status in the picture.

The contrast and colors in this picture are also deeper : lights and darkness for the outstanding and its opposite.

I hope you guy like it^^

I took many pictures and choose the best. Some of I my trials are below here :
