POSTER THREE
#process #DES101
"The theme we were given for poster 3 was to create a story board or app wire frame. With the guidelines being to create a storyboard/wire frame containing 12 frames and showing at least 3 key moments.
​
With my chosen haiku, "A Poppy Blooms", composed by Japanese artist and poet Katsushika Hokusai, I wanted to explore the theme of Overcoming.
​
"I write, erase, rewrite​
Erase again, rewrite, and then
A poppy blooms"
The theme I got from Hokusai's poem was Overcoming, to succeed in dealing with a problem or difficulty. Facing our fears and breaking through them to succeed and move forward. I portray this through a man who fears public speaking.
​
He is going through an internal battle. The darkness surrounding him and the dark figure, representing his fears.
He is shown to gain control over his fear when he fights back. Showing him starting to overcome his fears. We see this in the absence of the darkness that was around him before.
​
What I was trying to show in this storyboard was that we can overcome any fears. Like in the story, we too can overcome any struggles or fears we face. Though we get knocked down we still have the power to get back up and fight back, to move forward and succeed."
