NEW postcards

these are more obvious that we are trying to show difference. it is going to be two world so i used two different effects for both.

the backside of the postcard

The backside is done very simply, there will not be a great deal of text about what we are trying to get across. Too much info makes the postcard look like an advertisement.

postcard designs

The two big slogan we liked are "Never the same again" and "you are a part of this".
The postcards can be mailed out or simply posted up on walls in coffee shops and other stores making them accessible for people to take them at their leisure.

On the back of them there will be a website address to this blog so they can view the process we are working through and gain more knowledge about the topic. We hope this blog will be an extension of our work and further engage the community.

sketch book ideas

editing video

After hearing the teacher's feedback we realized there may be racial reference within our film, we also realized there may be an issue with clarity. The video was meant to be simple so that it would catch peoples attention, leave them curious and force them to delve deeper into our information.

There may be confusion because it is so out of the blue. so, we decided to put some simple text to it so the visuals make more sense.

possible printed project book ideas

Gentrification is like the picture above, it spreads. This is our idea of showing how it does it to the public to let them know what is happening. It will start in clumps and groups and eventually spread out and color the area it's taken; the tea bag it self is drained out.

For the cover we thought a plain print out is too simple. It would be more attractive if it was more handmade, the cover will have a huge tea bag on it and tea inside!

The booklet we are making is also going to be in the shape of the tea bag, it is going to be very simple with just pictures and a few slogans.

Animation clip shoots

the whole thing is very simple so there is no distraction. the background stayed white.

the spoon is separated by clothing.

working on tea bag animation: the set

We started out having to differentiate the poor and the rich. there is the spoon that we dress up with his suitcase. there is the teabag. we just want to do a simple metaphor of gentrification. objects will have its representations.

we are just trying to make people aware of what is happening with their community and rise awareness. and it is their decision to make if they are oppose or agree. so, the spoon, business man, is in pink, not black. becasue black have this association with "bad".

we picked out very simple objects that can be found around us so we would feel more related to it.
