CREATIVE EXPRESSION
The most important project in my first year in college.We did a continuous analysis based on a movie.This was the first time we realized the importance of logic and the process in design.
First of all we needed to choose an object to analyse and find many possible ways to express it ,to visualize it.Our team aimed at a movie called <BEN X>.The hero Ben X wasa "strange"boy who might have autism.He had problem communicating with others,but in his own world ,he could totally lead a reasonable life.However,people around him treated him differently and badly,just could't understand
him at all.How could we express this contradiction?We can't understand others,not because they are wrong but because we just stand in our own point of view.To some extend, everyone is Ben X and we should try to care about them and understand them.
him at all.How could we express this contradiction?We can't understand others,not because they are wrong but because we just stand in our own point of view.To some extend, everyone is Ben X and we should try to care about them and understand them.
We have made many models to decide which is the best way to perform our ideas and finally we made a decision which is satisfying both technically and creatively.
Besides models we also have drawn many sketches to discuss the best way to arrange the periscope and the various external shapes which would leadto different final effect.
After many experiments,we decided to use periscope as the main issue to express our idea.The periscopes are set in special shaped pipelines,and it looks like a mirror,but when you look into it,you may see your back ,your feet,or your side.etc.It is abnormal from the usual mirror.That is you,an unfamilar you in other people's eys.We are the strangers to ourselves at this moment.
