DO SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND!
the first week’s work is like a kind of “self-expression”, I don’t like it, and others cannot understand. so I decided to throw the map form, throw “my story”, using the material I got from interview to create something.
I faced two options : 1. recreate a publication 2. using a publication to document
the difference between these two questions is the authorship. when I am doing the design work(although in school it seems that I have 100% authorship of my work), I was confused： should I show the feeling of interviewee by presenting there speaking or should I make a new story based on there stories?
as a designer, what should I do?
I have no answer, so I decided to start work first.
through making, I feel what MICHAEL ROCK said in Designer as Author. I am not only the author, but also director, translator… I have to be responsible for everything I made.
through printing, I found a color mistake, which make me think more about the meaning of color in my publication?
so in this case, I tried to use the different “RED” from shallow to deep, to show the awareness of self-identity.
the effect is not good, so I didn’t do that, but change some colours to make the page more vivid.
publication
what kind of the binding/folding can communicate better?
feedback:
- is the printing format related?
- the cover about immigration is not related
- you can hold the whole story based on the interview material
- why not invite friend to cook and to talk about it
during the making, I always have the question about “how to link the story” and “to what extend I can control the story”
My audience is everyone.
as hokkien culture is a small and unknown culture for most people, it’s better to using separate parts to explain the culture more. + using typical outstanding visual + everything related to the topic(people do not understand Border Force that Fujian people meet)
part 1 : the overall of hokkien
part 2: the interview document
part 3: my enquiry + my question about my identity(the confuse about identity is not only on me, so how about collect the questions )
