VISUAL ANALYSIS



Title : Life Below Water
Artist : Mr. Fijodor also known as Fijodor Benzo
Year : 2018
Material : Garbage

Fig 1.1

PHASE 1 : OBSERVATION

This design work is done in a portrait format. In the centre of this artwork, there is a whale in the 
sea where the whole body is filled with all sorts of rubbish. Around the body, it is surrounded by floating plastic bags and pieces of metal falling off the body. Moreover, the visual elements are the whale as it's the main point of the artwork and the main colours are a variety of blue colours as below the sea there is a gradient where the colours get darker. There is a container ship and buoy or traffic cones above the sea where the dark blue colour is present. - 109 words

PHASE 2 : ANALYSIS

This artwork is asymmetrically balanced. Due to the imbalance of colours, as you can see from the colours of the sky and the sea water. The sea water's colours slightly overpower the sky's colour and even the shape of the whale where if you were to split the artwork into two. The garbage inside of the whale can be seen as harmony and unity as there are various shapes combined to make the whale and the colours fit the aesthetic without making the artwork looking overly messy. Moreover, the whale is used as a symbol to represent the life below water as they might ingest the garbage like shown in the said mammal. - 113 words

PHASE 3 : INTERPRETATION


    Reference  Fig 1.2                                                    Reference  Fig 1.3


Reference  Fig 1.4

The similarity that can be found in these artworks are their asymmetrically balanced. For example, in all three street artworks, one side is overpowering than the others as whales and the shape of the ship being split into two aren't symmetrical. Moreover, there is harmony and unity present as in Fig 1.2 which I've explained before and in Fig 1.3, the colours blend in well without making it seem messy while still having some contrast in colours. In Fig1.4, the colours fit the aesthetic of the artwork and the splitting of the whale in even. Lastly, all three artworks use a whale as a symbol to represent the sea creatures. - 113 words

Total words : 335 words

Feedback

22/04/2024 - 13/05/2024 (Week 1 - Week 4) Myra Elida Binti Abd Azis / 0358516 GCD61004 / Advanced Typography / Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Task 1 Instruction Lectures 1. Typographic Systems (Week 1) There are eight major variations : Axial Radial Dilatational Random Grid Modular Transitional Bilateral Typographic systems are akin to what architects term shape grammars . The system has a set of rules that apply in a step-by-step way to generate a set, or language, of designs. While some feel these impositions take intuition away from a teaching point of view, they provide a solid framework that allows learners to be guided in their exploration while intuition develops. Axial - text is on the left or right of the axis, the axis can be a straight line or bent line Radial - text is extended from a point or multiple points of focus Dilatational - text extended from a center point in a circular form Random - text has no specific pattern or relationship Grid - a system o...

Packaging and Merchandising Design / Task 1 (Case Study & Box Making)

MYRA ELIDA BINTI ABD AZIS 0358516 PACKAGING AND MERCHANDISING DESIGN / MER60104 TASK 1 /  CASE STUDY & BOX MAKING Module Information Booklet Progress Case Study We had to choose one existing packaging design and study on the entire design, practicality, ergonomics, target audience and how the packaging carries the brand image. Then, write a short report based on our observation and research. Draft : Fig 1.1 Final : Fig 1.2 Box Making We had to choose 2 loose items and design a box for each item. Final : Fig 2.1 Fig 2.2 Reflection Designing packaging taught me the power of intentional visuals and how each design choice impacts brand identity and customer perception. Through this process, I learned to prioritize both creativity and functionality, ensuring symbols like a sun for UV protection or a raindrop for hydration not only conveyed product benefits but also engaged the senses. Incorporating natural elements, like apple and matcha, reinforced the product's essence, while bala...
