PHOTOGRAPHY

my idea was created from what i imagined when i hear the song, nude, by radiohead.... i feel that there is a sexual connotation, whether its a boy or a girl... initially i felt as though a male was being seduced by a female, with her sensual dance moves, as she knows she is beautiful and powerful. he is either upset by her and her power over his sexual mind, and the way her body can take over his mind. i wanted to show this by using a beautiful girl, with alluring eyes, and her part- ner is pondering whether he is besotted with her, or it is the power she has over his mind, sexually. quite a sad thought, and a sad scene, as she knows how he is easily seduced by her and her body...

“You paint yourself white And fill up with noise But there'll be something missing”

another idea or emotion i got from listening to the lyrics of this song.. was the idea that a couple can feel so strongly for one another, for so long, believing that nothing could stop this feeling and power they feel. and when its over, you look back and it seems so incredible that its all over, and you now feel so alone. how did things go so wrong? because at the time, together you were both so sexual and powerful, and probably naive.

“Now that you've found it, it's gone Now that you feel it, you don't You've gone off the rails”

Ready Steady

Design an easy-to-open tablet container for arthritis sufferers...



I decided to make a large round container that does not need opening, but rather twisted to make an opening...   

The name is Ready Steady... it is for people who need a pain free, boosted day... to be Ready for the day, and to remain Steady or stable....

Typography

Design a South African influenced Type...
I came up with some words that reminded me of the rural parts of our country... Kwashiokhor  (a disease caused from malnutrition, swollen tummies), Dakiwe (means "drunk" in Zulu), Mafuta sfebe ( is a Fat Bitch in Zulu Slang).... as well as my nickname... 2 Slice... (Zulu slang for a person who is thin, who resemble two slices of bread)...

Doodles to experiment with type







Working with 2 Slice....



Using photography... i wanted to find some super thin legs, bandy and stick like... very basic photo, quite harsh and un photoshop-finished...


i wanted this image to be the entire double page spread... with the font on top... 



the final


1 Minute Movie

As a group, we had put together a one minute movie... Slip ups can be Step ups... the basic plot is... a girl gets ready for her days work, and nothing goes well, there are numerous slip ups during her morning process of getting ready... her make up runs, her stocking rips, her hair gets messy, etc... and in the end, a guy rides past and winks at her, approving her accidental new 'grunge' style... therefore all her morning slip ups became a fashion step up....



We had to design a dvd cover, a dvd case, and a viral campaign, which will promote our 1min movie. I took the anti design route, and didnt want to make it an obvious design, instead, i wanted to take random images that were in the movie and base the design on those, so the viewer would be curious as to what the movie is really about... i used the knife and the grape fruit which feature in the movie, and with that and the title "slip ups can be step ups", there is not obvious relevance, making the audience curious, thus want to watch the movie....
