Digital Photography & Imaging : Project 3
PROJECT 3
Project 4 : "Self-Titled"
REFLECTION :
Upon completing this final project, I can confidently say that the experience was both challenging and rewarding. The challenges primarily arose at the very beginning, specifically when it came time to decide on a theme for the project. With so many possibilities to choose from, narrowing down my options was a bit overwhelming at first. However, once I made a decision and set a clear direction, the process became much smoother and more enjoyable.
After the initial hurdle of selecting the theme, I found the rest of the project to be relatively straightforward. This was largely due to the solid foundation of knowledge I had gained throughout the course. The lectures and hands-on practices provided by Mr. Fauzi were invaluable in equipping me with the skills needed to tackle the tasks effectively. I felt confident in applying the concepts we had learned, and that confidence made the execution of the project much easier.
Additionally, the tutorial videos that Mr. Fauzi provided were incredibly helpful. They served as a useful reference throughout the project and helped clarify any doubts or questions that arose. I found that being able to revisit these resources gave me a deeper understanding of the concepts, which made the overall process more efficient and less stressful.
In conclusion, this project was not only an opportunity to apply everything I had learned, but also an enjoyable experience. It was both fulfilling and rewarding to see my ideas come to life and know that I had successfully completed the task. I am genuinely grateful for the chance to learn and grow through this project, and I look forward to applying these skills in future endeavors.
INSTRUCTION:
In this final task, we were to make a digital surrealism with moving imagery artwork based on our self. We were to use Photoshop and After Effects for this. Self-titled is an exploration project to express our own individuality and reflect our personality into digital art self-expression. The main idea is to build up self-confidence and discover our interest.
Timeframe: WEEK 10 - WEEK 14
Duration: 15 second
Output: .MOV or .MP4 less than 20MB
Size: 1080 x 1920 px (I.G reel/ story size)
In my artwork, I explore the theme of personal growth through the lens of surrealism, a style that allows me to express complex ideas in a unique and imaginative way. Surrealism’s blending of reality and dreamlike elements perfectly mirrors the complexities of life and growth, which are difficult to convey through more traditional forms of art. The planets in my piece represent the various goals I have in life, each symbolizing a different aspiration. The blue planet stands for my emotional relationships, while the red symbolizes both my mental and physical health, as well as my ambition. The orange planet reflects my capacity for indulgence, and the white planet represents my sense of self-worth. These planets, with their differing colors and forms, embody the multifaceted nature of my goals and ambitions.
The air vehicles in my artwork further illustrate the people I encounter on my journey. The hot air balloon represents talented individuals who pass through my life, leaving a lasting impact, while the jet symbolizes rude people who, despite their harshness, I can’t help but care for. The helicopter represents the everyday, ordinary people I meet and interact with. The central hole in the composition represents the hollowness I sometimes feel as a growing individual, still studying and finding my place in the world. This emptiness reflects the tension between striving for new goals and the challenges of self-discovery.
Through this surrealistic approach, my goal was to convey that growth is not only about setting new goals, but also about learning from others and embracing new perspectives. True growth requires a balance: the drive to push forward and the openness to learning from the world around us. By combining surrealism with these symbolic elements, I aimed to capture the unpredictability and beauty of personal development, highlighting how both external influences and inner ambitions shape our creative and personal journeys.
