DAT PIC!


 ABOVE ALL, THIS PICTURE IS THE POSTER FROM STUSSY SPRING COLLECTION 2022. 

 





LINGUISTIC MESSAGE:

AS WE CAN SEE THERE IS A LOGO AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WHICH IS A S T U S S Y IN THE STUSSY GRAFFITI FONT. IT MAKES THE AUDIENCE KNOW THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM STUSSY.  

 

 

LITERAL MESSAGES:        

SOME BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE: THIS BRAND IS FOUNDED BY SHAWN STÜSSY, A SURFER WHO USED TO SHAPE HIS OWN BOARDS FOR FRIENDS AND LOCALS IN LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA. STÜSSY BEGAN SCREENING T-SHIRTS AND SHORTS TO SELL ALONG WITH THE SURFBOARDS AS A FORM OF PROMOTION; HIS SURNAME WRITTEN IN A GRAFFITI-INFLUENCED HAND STYLE WAS TO BECOME THE COMPANY LOGO.

 

IN THIS POSTER, THERE IS A COASTLINE EXTENDED FROM THE BACKGROUND TO THE FOREGROUND WHICH REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF STUSSY: SURFING. ALSO, WE CAN TELL THERE IS A GRAFFITI HAND-STYLE LETTER S PRINTED ON THE BEACH, WHICH REINFORCED THAT THIS POSTER IS FROM THAT BRAND, AND SHOWS OFF THEIR IDENTICAL LETTERING STYLE. OR MAYBE IT INFORMS PEOPLE THAT LETTERING WILL BE A BIG THING IN THAT COLLECTION. 

 

THE WHOLE POSTER PROVIDES PEOPLE A CHILLING VIBE ON THE BEACH THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT BRAND AND TRIES TO STIMULATE PEOPLE TO BUY THE PRODUCTS. 

 

 

SYMBOLIC MESSAGES;    

MAYBE WEST COAST FASHION STREET WEAR CULTURE? 

 

DENOTED MESSAGE;        

THIS POSTER IS 100% TRUE! SINCE THIS IS A REAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN BY A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH HIS CAMERA. PERSONALLY SPEAKING, PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT ALWAYS A LIE, ARTIST TAKE PHOTO TO RECORD THE BEAUTY AT THAT MOMENT AND THAT MOMENT ACTUALLY EXIST. EVEN IF THEY MIGHT USE PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE THE PHOTOS LOOK BETTER, THE THINGS ARE STILL REAL. 

 

CONNOTED MESSAGE: 

WE SHOULD WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE STUFF IN THAT COLLECTION.

PROJECT #2

  THE ROLE OF AUTHORSHIP IS THAT PEOPLE COULD TELL “HELL YEAH THAT’S BOWEN’S WORK!” BECAUSE THERE IS MY SOUL, MY STYLE, AND EVEN MY EXPERIENCE IN MY WORK. MY WORK EQUALS TO MY NAME IN SOME ASPECTS. OF COURSE, I CONSIDER MY WORK ORIGINAL, BECAUSE I EXERCISE MY AESTHETIC BY READING A HUGE VARIETY OF WORKS, WHICH ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT KINDS OF STYLES. THEN I  COME UP WITH MY OWN STUFF. WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOOK AT MY WORK, THEY COULD ONLY TELL OH THAT ARTWORK LOOKED A LITTLE BIT LIKE BLABLABLA’S WORK, BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT LIKE DLADLADLA’S WORK. BUT FUCK NO, IT IS JUST L I K E, THAT STYLE IS BOWEN’S STYLE MY ORIGINAL SHIT.      EVERYONE WHO STARES AT MY WORK FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES COULD “TAKE POSSESSION” OF MY WORK AND DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT. I THINK WHEN THE AUDIENCE GET THE BEAUTY OF MY STUFF, AT THAT MOMENT, THEY TAKE POSSESSION OF IT. AND THEY COULD ALSO DERIVE THEIR OWN MEANING FROM IT BECAUSE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES OF LIFE COULD DEFINI...

FINAL PROJECT REPORT

  MY PROJECT THIS TERM IS CONTINUALLY WORKING ON SHARING WITH THE AUDIENCE MY PERSPECTIVE OF APPRECIATING THIS WORLD VIA DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. THE WHOLE PROJECT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE FLICKER POST I HAVE DONE LAST YEAR. IN THIS PROJECT, I ADDED 230 PHOTOS TO MY PHOTO STREAM.

AMONG ALL THE PHOTOS, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT INTO THE EXISTING ALBUMS, BUT ALSO SOME ARE ADDED INTO THE NEW ALBUMS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TITLED CREATIVELY. HERE IS THE BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE NEWLY ADDED ALBUMS.  THE SHOW! THERE ARE TWO BIG EVENTS THAT HAPPENED IN THIS TERM: THE  VOODIS  FASHION SHOW AND THE SENIOR SHOW.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

            FOR THE ADVANCED NEW MEDIA IN ART SPRING TERM 2023, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PEOPLE MY AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE TO APPRECIATE THIS WORLD THROUGH THE LENS OF MY IPHONE. ALL MY WORK IN THIS 10-WEEK PERIOD WILL BE UPLOADED ON THE FLICKER FINALLY; AND I WILL SORT THEM OFF INTO 10 ALBUMS, WHICH MEANS 1 ALBUM PER WEEK. IN EACH ALBUM, THERE SHOULD BE AROUND 5-10 PHOTOGRAPHS. ALSO, I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A BIG THICK PHOTO BOOK THROUGH THE BOOKWRIGHT WITH THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT I TOOK THIS TERM. THE BOOK SHOULD BE AROUND 50-80 PAGES, IT REALLY DEPENDS ON  HOW MANY PHOTOS I AM SATISFIED WITH. BUT THE PAGE NUMBERS WILL BE AROUND THAT AMOUNT. FOR THE REFERENCE ARTIST, I WOULD SAY THERE IS NO ONE THAT I AM MIMICKING, LIKE I SAID I AM PROVIDING PEOPLE MY PERSPECTIVE IN MY WAY IN MY STYLE. BUT IF I NEED TO SAY ONE, THAT MAY BE ANDY WARHOL SINCE I ENJOYED HIS PHOTOGRAPHY A LOT IN THE PAST AND HAVE SEEN TONS OF HIS WORK BEFORE, MAYBE YOU WILL FIND SOM...
