This is my Dissertation adventure! Please enjoy how I struggled and managed to stitch myself back up on my final year in my Degree. But still finding different ways to challenge and torture myself in my creative practice. :')
I am working on the mockup interaction through the Adobe XD. This is my first time using this programme... however I just used it for recording the interaction.
I also superglued the acetate print together. It is looking lovely! And I cannot wait for it to look like together with the rest of the Print materials together.
Today I gave my worksheet pdf file to the Printing Center. I would’ve printed it by myself however it is more than 100 pages long... which would break my bank. But I did print a plastic cover for the packaging part of the pack.
I have also started working on the collaborative project... It is going along pretty slow because we need to translate a lot of stuff and it is hard to tell each other our ideas and make sense of one another when we are from different places... but I can only do what I can do, so I just begin with the visuals and layout.
It is an intense productive day today. I designed, branded and finished the worksheet for the material Print of my Personal project. I followed the picture’s colours and I decided to use a bold and iconic Futura typeface to harmonise with the Baybayin Script.
My collaborative partner told me that she was inspired with my collaborative project in the 2018 ImaginAsia RE:Taipei programme editorial final piece.
My group - “Group 6″ created a booklet and a video of our creative adventures together in Taiwan. I wanted to create something different as a lot of students’ final pieces are videos, I convinced my group to do something different as well. And this is what we came up with. It wasn’t just a brilliant collaborative piece; it also really represented everyone’s ethnicity and style. The booklet is translated in 4 languages and I absolutely love it.
In our Baybayin Script collaborative piece would have our shared love and proud ethnicity; and also it wouldn’t just have three languages - it would also introduce Baybayin - an unknown script; being used as a normal editorial language.
My collaboration went well. We had an amazing talk about the Baybayin script and the loss and under appreciated history of the Philippines. Our collaborative piece is about our combined dissertations put into one beautiful narrative on the past, present and future language and proud representation of Filipinos.
We made scamps of the spreads, the scrapbook and nostalgia theme, general audience and of course our individual parts.
I started making scamps for the Baybayin work sheet. I wanted to keep the narrative quite quick, snappy, educational and fun. The audience has to learn 132 different characters; but technically it is 30, give or take, characters but the characters themselves does have 5 different tildes on them which represents different representations of the consonant and it’s combined vowels.
So the audience will be taught the vowels and then the consonant with an “a” at the end as this doesn’t have any tildes. Then at the end they would be confronted with the tilde page where they can see the difference.
Today, I am meeting my collaborative partner and whilst I am waiting for her I decided to share my evaluation and practice of my analogue exercise Baybayin Script.
I am considerably used to writing the same letters over and over; in different styles and italics; and the Baybayin script is obviously a different language and unknown characters that not a lot of people write about and not really document the art of it.
This project gave me the opportunity to not just re-discover the ancient art but log its type anatomy; to teach myself the writing techniques and hopefully to help others as well.
On my train ride home today, I found a very colourful ware house! And I started to fall in love with the colour palette. It has this primary theme to it but these colours are also in the Philippine flag (excluding white).
I think using these three colour theme would not only represent the country’s colours but encourage play and learning as it is primary set of colours.
