I based my project around animals, that being my first narrative, thinking about which animals factually make sense in terms of the vice and less about the social implications. I drew out the animals on my tablet, so they were ready to live trace in Illustrator. The outlines' text are the different vices in English, Spanish and French (a reflection of languages popularly translated into and from and also the languages I speak); only one vice in English highlighted in their respective color. The third narrative would be the details inside the outlines, the eyes, the lines and contours essentially shaping the animal into a more recognizable icon, they are all done using typed out facts of the animals that relate to the vice. For example, the rabbit's facts all have to do with their sexual behavior, the [bull] shark's facts all relate to how aggressive they are and so forth.
i enjoyed looking at these. the design itself is so cute and cuddly but the actual reality of what the text is talking about contradicts so hard it creates an ironic theme.
ReplyDeletei wish more texture was applied to the animals though to define them better and really give them some oomph. good job over all.
