There are no strange creatures, only blinkered people

-

“There are no strange creatures, only blinkered people.” 
This quote is from the movie, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.




I love this sentence when I heard the actor said for the first time. After seeing the movie, I can’t help but think about the meaning of this sentence. Everyone is special, but there are always sometimes we see others as “strange” in a sort of way. Maybe it’s because other people don’t act like the way we do or they do not follow the “normal rules”. However, sometimes this kind of bias happened because of the lack of understandings. It’s important for people to open their minds and try to understand the differences. Everyone has his or her background and story, it will help people to understand more when they can see the stories. So this concept came up to my mind. I hope my three posters with this quote can be engaged by people.



Poster 1, 24"x24"
Poster 3, 8"x8"











For the biggest poster, I wanted it to be a bulletin board, so I left a huge blank. The one on the left is the original poster. The one on the right is the one with another poster I have designed, I designed this black, square poster to be like a sticky note at the beginning, but after I printed it, I found out that it didn’t show up like the way I wanted it to be. The middle one is the way I want this bulletin board poster to be like, I hope people can write down their stories or just little special sharings about themselves on this poster.

Poster 3, 7"x5"

For the last poster, I  designed it as a card. So I left half of the blank on the left side. I tried to make those words look more energetic, so I used spaces and blanks to create that kind of style. The reason that I left "only" alone and in the middle side of the card is I wanted to highlight "only" like everyone is the only one.

 Handheld Media Climate Change & What You Can Do About It Handheld Media Handwritten Handheld Media Digital What topic did you select and why? The topic I selected for this assignment was climate change, and more specifically, the role each person plays in contributing to it and to help prevent it. Upon initial consideration, I wanted to choose an alternative topic. Throughout the creative process of making design decisions, all of my ideas came back to how it can best suit the needs of a reader understanding this topic. It is for this reason, I decided to stay with a topic I care so strongly about as I strive to encourage others to take steps to take action on this issue. Who is your audience? Everyone! The purpose of this handheld media in particular is to be accessible to every person. Because there are no expectations for the human impact on climate change, I intended to make my media as presentable as possible across demographic groups. The mix of illustration and statisti...

Vases, Faces, and Little Princes

                       (Pencil, 9’’ x 12’’, 163gsm) According to the assignment this week, we tried to separate our hand and eyes and used left and right brain, which was a big challenge for me. When I was drawing the vases & faces drawing, I tried to draw smooth lines, but I found that it was difficult for my brain to control my hand. Especially when I started drawing the right part, I always unconsciously wanted to change the direction of the lines. Thus, I didn’t draw the vases & faces as balanced and full in the end. The biggest challenge for me was the second drawing, I never tried to draw with a reversed direction. So, I couldn’t control the scale of the drawing very well.  Despite I drew each line carefully, I did not show every part of the drawing properly. However, I chose to draw with marker pen instead of a pencil, because I didn’t want to give my...

Social Justice Posters - Graham

 The social justice movement I decided to go with is LGBTQIA+ rights. I decided to go with this movement because I have important people in my life who are part of the community. While not being a part of the community myself, I realize the privilege I have as a cisgender male in today's society and want to use said privilege in any way possible to advocate for equal rights for all who fall under that umbrella. Also, the quote I chose was tweeted out by Gerard Way after the Orlando nightclub shooting in 2016 and he's been a large influence on my life + an advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights as well. The quote is as follows, "I've always just wanted everyone to be able to be who they want to be, proudly, enthusiastically- freely." The first poster I designed is 11x17 with a black background and white coloring and Chaparral font. I focused on hierarchy and balance for this poster by having the main part of the quote start centered at the top with the last 3 words spaced ou...
