finals & Evaluation





















These were my final pieces two banners and one big poster, these were inspirations from designers i researched like Paula Scher, harry beck, I looked at Getty images at cctv. I found that my finals came out well and demonstrated the idea of people being targets, how the government have so much information about people on there data like finger prints, eye recognition just being a little part of it, they have so much more to be able to find out and no about people.

My First idea was to have a animation of a person and parts of it like the eye and so on blowing up and information around it i felt that this was inappropriate, so i decided to go forward with making a poster and two banners.

The inspirations i used from paula scher was the idea of how she implies typography into her work, In my finals i selected certain places in were i placed them. Also with paula scher she tends to compose typography in many ways, similarly i placed my typography in a different compositions, i felt it fitted in well in with my work. I liked the design of harry beck with his underground maps and wanted to imply it in to my design, but give it a computer feel to it as if someone was being scanned and recognized. Gave it something like a circuit board.


Gattaca review









This film is staged in the future time when people of normal birth were seen to be low class citizens. The people who were the people to be seen as high class and well respected jobs were people who were created by being designer babies, choosing the genes they want to make there perfect baby.

The main character was seen to be a low class citizen, had to live the low class life. His dream was to go to the moon but being a low class person wasn't allowed, you had to be something of the fine origin, which was a special designer baby.

DNA & IDENTITY

My FMP was based on the data that the government holds on identity and human DNA.

I strongly feel that no one should hold such power, because it can be abused. In an incident that happened not long ago with the DVLA (GOVERNMENT) they sold details of all the drivers on their data base to some company.

I feel that it was a betrayal in part of the government. I feel it is worrying for them to hold information like this. I feel were like walking targets to them and have portrayed this in my banners and posters.
