Image Hijacking: Part 1

 The three topics I chose:

1. The gap between the poor and the rich 

In the first sketch, I emphasize the dark space between the rich man ant the poor crowd.

In the second, I tried to show that both of those hands look exactly the same (tanned), but the reasons are entirely different. 

3rd - just one rich man occupies almost the entire planet though he is alone; the poor crowd doesn't get why he is that powerful. 

lastly, the gap between those groups is like to the moon and back :)



2. The Fake Beauty

The concept is pretty much the same in each sketch, and it is self-explanatory. Either the naturally beautiful woman tries to keep up to the beauty standards, or the artist is "retouching" her so she'd like herself.

3. Quick dopamine excess

In these, I took Tony Montanna's emotion as the main thing to play around with. Quick dopamine - either social media, TV shows, or sugar and cigarettes. The one with the *dopamine release graph* modifies the shape of that handful of drugs so that it looks like a dopamine release diagram.

M6 Part 1

  For this project, I decided to create a portfolio for my work as a video editor. A quick advice: you should be looking at these sketches vertically, so that the upper half is what a visitor sees first, and the lower half appears when they scroll.  Prodbyzhenya is my nickname (prod = produced, by, zhenya = shorter version of my full name), so I included it there as my logo. I tried to keep all the necessary details that were mentioned in the "10 steps to the perfect design portfolio" article ( https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/02/10-steps-to-the-perfect-portfolio-website/ ). These are the logo and the tagline, so it is clear that the portfolio is about a person working with video production. Of course, the portfolio itself, either as a showreel or as several videos embed. In some sketches, I included services, but some led to the "cost calculator" so that the visitors could see the preliminary cost of their work. "About us" section is also there, with...

Hijacking: Part 2

     For this project, I chose the issue of quick dopamine excess in modern world. This is one of the problems I find important to pay more attention to, because we live in the times of endless entertainments, and life should be more than just that. When scrolling through social sites, watching TV shows, listening to music all the time, we keep receiving dopamine flashes, therefore feel good. Any time people feel boredom or start getting negative thoughts - they tend to replace it with another dopamine surge. At first glance, such activities do not seem to be harmful. However, not if we're dealing with excessive amounts.      I chose this image of Tony Montana from "Scarface" movie, because his  facial expression represents the exact feeling of "having too much". He could be looking like this at anything else besides drugs (as in the original frame). Especially, at something that used to give a lot of pleasure, but later stopped. Just like with an...

Awareness Poster Pt.2

Изображение
  My awareness poster was created to bring attention to the alcohol consumption issue. Everybody knows and feels the consequences of drinking, but continues doing it and seeing it as something fun. For my design, I took the concept of a brochure, where sellers usually put discounts and other special offers for their customers. However, in this case, people see the real "bonuses" of drinking alcohol. I chose the poisonous green color for the liquid to evoke associations with poison.  To draw the glass, I mostly used the "ellipse tool", and "rectangle tool" with no fill and 30px stroke, and later filled in the color with the "paint bucket tool". To create the curve, I drew a line with the "line tool", and later distorted it using "liquify". The "special offer" sign is also a "rectangle tool", but with curved angles (75px). When I added copy to the poster, I thought that it should have some background highligh...
