Currently studying Communication Design, many of my influences come from a nostalgic lens of early 2000s digital culture, aesthetics frequently used by alternative bands and aesthetics from old video games and animations. I love to experiment with typography and imagery to form new things. My aim is to frequently collaborate with others to learn new methods to create, and styles to play around with, to hone my own to be the best it could be, as well as make identities for musicians and bands for either their overall aesthetics or what they choose for their upcoming albums.
The works I have included are mainly from the 12 week Activation project, a campaign on generative AI.
replace me !
replace me is a title page from the ‘evoke_emotion’ publication. The abstract greyscaled pixels blended with ascii art of the same hand gives a darker and more uncomfortable feeling about AI. The task at hand for this project was to show that Ai is merely a tool, but maintain the uncomfortable feeling people displayed during the DRK side of the project.
paint
‘paint’ is a part included in the final publication of this project, ‘evoke_emotion’. It takes form in the Y2K aesthetic made consistent throughout the entire project, and is a more abstract interpretation of generative AI if it was in that time, with two ms paint windows open and colours melting from one to another, representing progress.
evoke_emotion: video
The main part of the evoke_emotion project was the video, a looping film that shows generative images being developed eerily before the AI cutting it short due to a lack of emotion. It is meant to have some irony as well as being a direct pull from what respondents answered when asked to pretend to be a bot, many of them discovering that AI like to talk about feeling.
