Title: Cycle

Technique: Drawing

This project is representing cycle over the course of the Haiku poem. With having a circle represents the cycle, and that circle is symbolising time and comfort zone. Within the comfort zone I have created multiple triangles that are mainly parallel, within the circle that represent conflicted tasks, and feelings as they slightly go outside your comfort zone you become discomfited but only for a small amount of time then it returns back to normal whilst you are in positive state, they say what ever conflict you overcome makes you stronger but triangles represent small conflicts that bring small rewards. 3/4 of the circle has shapes going outside which is basically there is always conflict and then when you reached that 1/4 of positivity with no conflict just smooth, flat circle its good however it cycles around again and again. Now with each shape has a difference as the pentagon is continuously outside the comfort zone during the 3/4 of conflict but once you re enter that stage of positivity then the rewards are longer, bigger, better. Then the circles within the original circle represent light and dark as when you are positive the more light but when you are really down there is always light but not as much as this itself is a continuous cycle.

What is good is that the description is very in depth however if you just looked at it without saying anything I feel most people would not get what it going on.

Concepts I applied were manly positive and negative, with colour represents light and dark.

Hierarchy wight and scale and also colour contrast and shape contrast. All play a enormous role in the description of this design.

Title: Aeon (Prolonged length of time )

Technique: Illustrator

The project is representing aeon over the course of the haiku poem. Having to develop a poster for a poem that represents sad, coldness.. I looked at developing a place where I would represent that particular image. Starting off with location, from this poem I’m getting that a particular person is waiting for someone else because they planned to meet up, location wise would be best at a street in Auckland, now to show prolonged length of time what do you do when your tired and need to take a rest when standing up on the look out for someone you sit down, then after a while of waiting and your standing to get the message they are not coming, you bow down your head/ look at the floor in sadness. To represent “Cold wind, turns into rain” obviously I have to make it raining as well as very gloomy/dark background (raining colours) just to add to that sense of loneliness and misery, also hint the umbrella.

Now the text I feel it had to be in isolated position to really grab the attention of the reader, I originally had the text at black but the words way too hard to see. Also the words “i will wait for you aeon” sounds like he’s saying a girls name.

What is good is that the design illustration is quite nice, there are small I wish I had the skills to fix e.g rain, puddles on floor, background.

Contrast for typography is good. The typography design is symbolising distancing due to it acting like a name and the person is saying that but it is also fading away.

Title: Cycle and Aeon

Technique: Drawing and illustrator

The project is representing cycle and aeon from the haiku poem. Trying to produce a storyboard based on those themes. I looked at building the world on my other blog, after that I went to building and sketching the story itself. Introduction to the characters we’ve got the main boy awakening out of a nightmare this will represent cycle as the last slide he says the same thing, then the boys introduction of the girl and how he feels about her. All of people have no definition because that are not of importance, followed by guy trying to get her attention but fails nevertheless. Next stage is the question basic summary is with the boy asking the girl to date him but gets denied, however the girl makes a bet with the other girls that she will lead him on. Next stage is the boy being and waiting throughout the stage resulting in the theme aeon and he’s been waiting for hours on end just to hang out with her but gots no response. Next stage he’s walking home and sees her with another guy, enraged he targets the other but gets knockout. Next stage is him waking up to the girl in his dreams, to reveal the twist it was actually a nightmare and she is his girlfriend in real life.

What is good I think is the illustrations and the story build up, however good have been a better story overall.
