Adobe Illustrator + Mixed Media
This project challenged us to investigate multi-layered, multi-level dimensional pictorial design (i.e.: a miniature stage set, a popup book, a light box, or a shoebox diorama) as a means of presenting a narrative storyline. We had to successfully transition a pictorial graphic concept from 2D to functional 3D paper or mixed media construction, and explore the concepts of character and place as components of a narrative storyline theme. I got the chance to investigate three-dimensional paper construction design and advanced assembly processes via 3D laser cutter.
This was a hybrid media project using programs: Illustrator, Photoshop, and traditional media — which included 2D and 3D design processes. The main objective was to form a three-dimensional pictorial piece and tell a story.
My inspiration for this project came from my wanting to create something with the essence of clouds and to bring about a strong emotional appeal.
