I am listening the people shouting; Sounds of falling debris; Bullets shot in the air.
I gather all these emotions, To evoke memories from the sounds, Triggering one’s imagination through these fragments.
This won’t be the whole picture of the events, Nobody knows the whole picture. It is only a piece of the puzzle among the many stories, collected into my recordings.
No matter how distressing or unpleasant, this is part of our story, and shapes who we are.
Listening to sound archives
Under the advancement of technology, transitional designs are replacing by technology. We pay bills by using an e-wallet. We listen to music by using an app. Communication design gradually becomes homogeneous and emotionless.
However, graphics are like a container of emotion, giving people an enrichment of the inner mind and connecting each other in society. So, this project aims to explore the possibility of how graphics can take a stake in a technology-driven society.
Emo-flow is an interactive graphic design approach combined emotion and data. Based on audiences’ data, 25 emotions visualised into graphics for designers as a reference to create graphics. This design project takes an art project (to promote artists who in the field of music, writing and drama) as a background. The design approach would be applied to the promotional items (e.g. tickets, posters and leaflets) for the project’s activities.
