This is one of the projects for INTM-SHU 120 communication lab Communication Lab. Here's the requirements, also a brief description, of this project.
This assignment is for students to create a black and white visual representation of a piece of music of their choice using typographic symbols and characters. The project should be done using Adobe Illustrator and will be mounted for critique.
The music I picked is called Dying by omfg. This song filled with only one sentence. A shrill sound singing, "Oh my god I feel I am dying. " For me, this song is totally chaotic, abnormal and even has a sense of psycho. But I quite like it. Here's a link toward the music.
I made this poster basically depend on my personal feeling about the song instead of the meaning of lyrics or rhythm. And I want to express this idea of hilariousness and craziness to everyone who see this poster. Thus, I fabricated a scene from my feeling: someone shoots our dear earth with a banana and our powerful planet just cracks because of this like a fragile biscuit.
Since we were only allowed to used characters, so I drag the letters to make the shape I want. For example, I reshape the letter "Z" to make the cracked part of earth, and drag the letter "C" to make the bullet. Also, I copy and paste the only lyric "Oh my god I feel I am dying" several times and use them to the shape of earth and banana, just like manufacture a dress with fabric.
Is this made with paper?
