Modeling and Sketch (Replacement)

After have some ideas, i started to sketch out the tiger and the cubs. The first picture of the billboard which is the living tiger and the cubs is quite easy for me to draw.

Picture above shows the sketch of the living tiger and the cubs.

However, when I wanted to draw the other picture which is the dead tiger and cubs, I suddenly don't know how to draw. Hence, I have to find some reference or model. I went to my friend's house who have some pet cats, and let them be the model. 

At first, I wanted to draw the cubs laying down on it's mother dead body which have made into carpet.

Due to cats is not as obedient as dogs, hence the cats would not follow our instruction on laying down flat. At the same time, it is not encourage for them to pose like a carpet as their joint will hurt. Luckily, I have found one doll which look similar like a carpet.

Then I let one of the kitten which is half sleepy sleep on the carpet doll.

So, I have come out with some sketch out the tiger carpet.

However after sketch out the carpet, it feels that something not right as it looks like a cartoonish funny looking carpet...

Work On It! (Replacement)

After I done with the mock up, I start looking up some picture reference about the interaction between a mother tiger and it's cub or big cats, to get some idea on how to draw out the tiger and the cub. Figures below are the reference picture.

After looking for more pictures, I finally found one pictures which I think is quite suitable with my theme as shown in figure below. The reason why the researcher have chosen this to execute out the project is because the face of the cubs looks sad and it is suitable to show it in the next pictures where the cubs have lost it's mother.

Finish Tryout (Replacement)

Picture below is the picture of finishing the tryout. Then I have to fold it according to the line like folding a fan.

But the researcher print in black and white as the researcher thinks that this is just only a tryout. Pictures below shows the example of tryout on the bus stop billboard.

Put it between two cardboard.

Left side of the billboard.

Right side of the billboard.

Tryout (Replacement)

After researching on how to create a lenticular image, I start of with some tryouts:

1) Select two images and adjust them with the same size.

2) Select line by line, the copy and paste into a new working file.

3) Then repeat the same steps, until the image are fully copy and pasted on a new working file.

Research on Technical (Replacement)

After the presentation, I start on researching on how to create a lenticular image on website.

2) http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Lenticular-Prints-With-Photoshop
3) http://www.vicgi.com/lenticular-interlacing-algorithm.html

After reading some of this, I feel that something is weird as I get different information from different websites. But I will tryout with some example.

Presentation Slide

Here are the proposal for my idea as today we have a presentation:

Reference from Some Successful Campaign

I have found some picture references for my outcome of ambient media. The reason why I have chosen the concept of mother and child or a family is because, I want the people to imagine: what if this happens to you? Such as losing a mother at such a young age, and the children have to survive in a harsh environment.

Figure 3

However, I personally prefer Figure 3 as my final outcome, as this can show the sadness of the cubs more obvious.

Concept for the Sketch

After one week, I have finally come out with my sketch idea for this endangered animal campaign. the outcome of if will be in lenticular image, which I planning the location of this lenticular image is at bus stop, where everyday there will be people waiting for bus.

The first idea of my sketch, is about a tiger mother laying down, with her cubs playing with her happily. However, the other image which the audience look from different direction, it will be the two cubs staring at their mother's skin which hanging on the wall.

The second idea of the sketch, is about a tiger mother and cubs facing each other. But when the audience look from different direction, it will change to a cubs hugging the mother's head skull.

After showing it to my lecturer, her comment of the first idea is: the two images looks quite different, as the first image is in horizontal; and the second one is in vertical. Whereas the second one will work, but instead of skull, why don't change to the cub hugging the head of the mother tiger which have made it into a carpet.

Initial Sketch for Rough Idea

After deciding on what topic I wanted to do, I start sketching out with very rough idea of how my ambient media is going to look like.

Figure above are my rough idea on ambient media.

However, ideas above are not really impressed by my lecturer. So she suggest me to do something with lenticular images, which is viewing 2 images in different angles. (Playing with since I was a kid, but now only know what is it called... =..=")

Endangered Animal Campaign

For Personal Boundaries assignment, we are given the tittle of creating an ambient media which we never done it before. From my point of view, ambient media is a real life media which can interact with people. Hence we have to create an ambient media with PSA (Public Service Announcement).

Hence, I have chosen the topic on "Endangered Animal Campaign". The animals that are facing extinction are: Black Rhino, Sumatran Tiger, Orang Utan, Shark, etc. These animals are hunted down widely mainly for their organs or other parts of their body for producing medicines, clothes and etc. 

The reason why this campaign was chosen is because I have go online search for animal campaign and saw some dead body of some extinction animal. It is so cruel to kill one innocent animal just to get their body parts to fulfill the greed within human. If this continues without stopping, most probably the next generation or the generation follow by will not be able to see those animals anymore.
