final book
Viscom final assignment mermaid book
For the final assignment we are supposed to make a story book, Which visually tells a story. After brainstorming a few topics i have decided to choose the topic "mermaid". And decided to go with showing audience " the fantasy world of mermaid and the reason behind their extinction, including their fashion, their personality,their underwater kingdom, their magical power like controlling the ocean and guarding the ocean. Thus with the point of view of mermaids i want show how the ocean and marine life is actually destroyed by human activities and pollution for instance overfishing, oil leakage, whale hunting and more.
After making my final concept and written down my story book outline . I had started creating moodboards, including the fantasy world of mermaid, their magical power, their accessories and fashion and more. After that i sketched out the book layout and started to do experimentation on different materials and mediums. I have also created seashells crown with mixed media using real pearls, sea shells and fish scale to create interesting texture. I had also colored the mermaid's portrait using real makeup to explore and experiment of medias that are special and not usually used to really show the beauty of the mermaids.
For drawing i had executed it through both manual and digital, the manual technique i have used is sketching coloring with watercolor or copic and mixed media. For some drawings i sketcj our manually and scan it to the computer and color digitally. As for some of the other surrealistic art style i have used digital technique like collaging, juxtaposition, photomontage, dispersion effect double exposure effect and other image manipulating technique. I have tried to experiment using different techniques and mixed media to create a surrealistic world representing the fantasy concept.
In conclusion , i want to really display the beautiful fantasy world of mermaid. Convincing people the existence of mermaid and telling them about their story their world and the destiny. Which is protecting our ocean through that i show audience how our marine life is affected by our human activities that are causing pollution and death of marine species. Then calling for action, evoke sympathy and awareness. To save our ocean by restoring our ocean back to the clean blue sea. The purpose of this book is not just to show the mermaid's fantasy world but also gives out deeper meaning and contemplation about our current environmental problem that everyone should be aware of and start saving our planet.
After all the process are made i have qced with Ms.Uma and decide on the final book , then i created mockup and then make sure everything is correct then final printing. For the final printing i have decided to use dove paper for the cover with perfect binding and also matte paper for the content as it is not glossy and looks sophisticated.
This assignment has a really great topic that allow us to really express our creativity tho it was quite hard and difficult especially at finding the perfect store to bind efficiently and waiting for the printing. However i felt that i really learnt a lot especially trying different styles and techniques that i never done before which is a great and interesting experience to gain. To know the possibilities of trying different ways to solve problems also really understand the power of visual communication and the way
