Week 09_Design

This project is a T-shirt logo design titled Friday Night, inspired by the sense of calm and release I associate with the end of a week. For me, Friday Night represents a personal moment of pause. It can be a transition from intensity to ease, from structure to softness. Based on this idea, I aimed to translate this emotional state into a visual identity that feels relaxing, comfortable, and slightly dreamlike.

In terms of visual language, I created this logo in Illustrator. I chose a soft and dreamlike color palette with blurred gradients to evoke a sense of calm and fluidity. The typography is built on a modern serif typeface, which I then modified to introduce subtle distortions and playful details, adding personality while maintaining elegance. Through this balance of structure and softness, the design reflects both the stability and freedom that define my interpretation of a “Friday Night.”

Week 02_Digital Collage

Image
This digital collage presents a fantastical landscape that reflects my belief in staying focused on ourselves and living freely at every stage of life. At the center of the composition is an older woman who appears calm, confident, and fully immersed. Rather than being portrayed as fragile or passive, she is active, stylish, and self-contained, existing comfortably within a surreal natural environment. The surrounding landscape is intentionally unrealistic: the colorful sky, exaggerated mountains, and layered textures create a dreamlike space that feels detached from everyday reality. This imagined environment represents an inner world shaped by personal choice rather than social expectations. By placing the figure within this landscape, I wanted to suggest that freedom is not dependent on youth, productivity, or external validation, but on one’s ability to remain connected to their own desires. My process involved combining found images with contrasting scales and textures to blur t...

Week 08_Blank Assignment

For this project, I revisited the previous video assignment where I created a cyberpunk-inspired short film using CapCut. In the original version, I focused heavily on editing techniques, experimenting with speed changes, and applying visual effects to enhance the rhythm of the video. Revisiting this work allowed me to focus on how to make a video work as an interesting storytelling. While technical skills are important, now I see that the cores of a succeed video are  its story, emotion, and intention. Moving forward, I want to shift my focus from using effects to building a clear story in my videos. Instead of using rhythm and transitions just to make the video look cool, I want to explore how timing, pacing, and sound can help express emotions and guide the story. I am especially interested in how rhythm can create tension and flow throughout the video. At the same time, I want to connect this idea to my real-world design experience. During my internships, I learned that definin...

Week 06_Animation

Image
In this stop motion project, I explored the color transformation through the mixing of clay. By combining two different colors one-time in varying proportions, I observed how new hues gradually emerged through contact, pressure, and repetition. Each frame captures a small step during this process, allowing the audience to catch each moment. Rather than blending the clay instantly, I intentionally controlled the variables, adjusting the ratio of colors and the way they folded into one another to highlight how transformation is rarely sudden. For this stop motion, I mixed yellow with green and green with blue separately. I created the animation using the Stop Motion app, setting the frame rate to seven frames per second and keeping the final duration to around thirty seconds. The slightly slower frame rate enhances the tactile quality of the clay, making the transformation feel deliberate and material-driven. For the final work, I add a background track with rhythmic beats that align wi...
