FIONN's ｃｏｍｐｕｔｅｒ blog

I am checking in to write brief post, reduced in size for the most part due to the project nearly being completed. The post shows a draft of the visuals on my booklet so far and displays the progress of my artistry from blank canvas to a full, media-rich image processed document.  Although, for all intents and purposes, this assignment took a lengthy aggregate of my days, it was well worth the wait, as the task at hand has became a particularly noteworthy vision of beauty and splendor. Looking back on the project, I would have liked to have experimented with more challenging methods of image processing such as more in-depth tools like Photoshop. Canva is a beautiful editing suite but can be occasionally limited. My journey may be reaching a close, yet I will always remember the aesthetic satisfaction that I achieved while creating this passion project of mine. Thank you, Fionn Baker

One of the final pages of my Neuroadversity show booklet centres around the look of the show. I included pictures of films I have watched that have had an influence over my style such as "Pink Flamingo's", "Trog" and "Heathers". The first film I chose is "Pink Flamingo's", a transgressive John Waters film starring famous drag queen Divine in the starring role as a notorious criminal determined to protect her title as "The Filthiest Person Alive". It is complimented by a delightfully cheap, 1960's look. The second film is "Trog" a campy B horror movie featuring Joan Crawford's final performance in film. I love every second of Crawford's candy coloured pantsuit wardrobe combined with awful special effects and a distinctive pastel aesthetic. Last but not least, the final film I chose "Heathers" is a 1989 black comedy with a hazy, surreal neon look similar to a slasher film, contrasted with the day-...

For the section where I described the characters of the piece, I made some visual motifs to separate certain clusters of characters from each other. A large Art Deco style zig-zag axes divides the characters from the "Deaf, Dumb and Kind" club and "The Cook Family". This has significance in the story of the potential show as the show centers around the feud between these two clusters. I also added some retro stars to break up the action with some perceptible splendor. I think this worked in my favour as the look of the document is really starting to pop off the page and become something admirable.
