Instructions
Project 1 - The Troublemakers Manifesto (Key Artwork)
In this project, we were expected to create a key artwork of an upcoming conference called The Troublemakers Manifesto: A Design Colloquium. The key artwork will later be used across the collaterals. The collaterals range from:
- Poster (Statistic)
- Invite (Interactive)
- T-shirt, Sticker, Pin Badge, etc
We were also provided the meaning behind The Troublemakers Manifesto: A Design Colloquium for us to refer to when brainstorming for the concept:
Troublemakers often make others feel uncomfortable. They challenge the norm, they question establishments rules and the status quo. This tension is needed to break the monotony brought about by societal conformity to the diktats of those wielding influence.
To most people, troublemakers are not a welcome lot but without their disruptive tendencies - creating ripples and ruffling feathers - unspoken ideas will not be made known, and innovations will not come to pass.
Why do they do, what they do? What principles and values lie beneath their decisions and actions?
Title & Key Artwork | Week 6 - 8
This week, we were expected to have our key artwork ready to show for feedback. The key artwork should be relevant and preferably a metaphor of the conference's title itself. Below are the attempts I've made.
Feedback: Mr. Vinod suggested to explore more about the topic cause I seem like getting a bit lost.
30/09/2019 (Week 6)
I have come out with some new ideas, but I felt like its missing the concept in it. Here are the artwork I done.
07/10/2019 (Week 7)
After the finding, I finally come out with something new. Heres the artwork.
Feedback: Mr. Vinod said that the image looks quite interesting, he suggested me to do some minor changes.
Facebook Feedback: Mr. Vinod advised me to choose my images / faces carefully.
After getting the feedback from Mr. Vinod, I changed the previous sketch face to other image. Then, I added a brain to the character to represent the character is having so much of thoughts and a lot of ideas going through his brain.
Facebook Feedback: Mr. Vinod doesn't get the concept from seeing the artworks with brain. He said remove it should be fine and "a design colloquium" is a bit hard to see.
Final outcome.
The following is the final outcome of key artwork's pdf :
