Typography Art

This is inspired by the Attack on Titan survey corps logo that I had posted in the previous post. I arranged it like this to get a structure of wings. I used this typeface because it is look simple and easier to construct the wings.

The 2nd layout was inspired by this image. Birds flying away from the tree brings the meaning of freedom without being restricted, they fly to any place they want. I used this typeface because of the cursive look like the wings for the bird to fly away. It also had the meaning of freedom.

The 3rd layout was an idea suggested by my friend. Those alphabet in the middle represent the cage and the alphabet outside represent freedom outside the cage as they are placed uneven and scatter around. These alphabet F,R,E,D,O,M are larger in size compared to others in order to indicate the word FREEDOM. I used this typeface because it look very strong and solid which is suitable to construct the cage.

 Bird is the object that I chose to represent myself because it is the most suitable idea to show how I feel and the image of my life. Most birds are free, flying in the sky and go wherever they want to go. However, there are also bird who are lock up in a cage and don't have freedom. Its just like the situation i faced, I don't have that much freedom. I used the concept of birdcage to show the lack of freedom. I made this birdcage by using a book and fold it page by page until it form a birdcage shape, then I attached a black card board at the back to make it look like a frame. I drew chains at the both side of the frame to show the feeling of without freedom and getting bind. The partially shown feather is to represent a bird that are desperately wanting to come out from the cage and get freedom.

Final Artwork

So i did this artwork by using a book. I fold it page by page and the end product become a bird cage like art work. I added a black card board at the back of the bird cage to make it looks like a frame. I drew some chain at the both side of the bird cage to show how restricted it feels being inside the cage, like being bind and don't have freedom. The purple feather represent the bird. Purple color shows sadness of the bird because its locked inside the cage and doesn't have freedom. I let most of the feather visible to show that it is trying to get out of the cage, to gain FREEDOM.

Artwork prototype

This is the first artwork that i did to represent bird. So there are 2 background, one is a background of blue sky and another is the background of a cage. These 2 background is to represent freedom and without freedom.

I fold 2 bird origami with 2 different color. The dark blue bird is for the cage background and the pink bird is for the blue sky background. The reason why i chose dark blue to fold this bird because dark blue represent sad and unhappy, so it describe the feeling of the bird that are in the cage. On the other hand,pink color bird is for the blue sky background. Pink color can represent happy so I chose this color to point out the happiness by having freedom.

Research for my artwork

These are the concept that I found on the internet :

Bird cage wall decoration

Liked this idea but need good skill to model it with wireframe.

Bird cage with a stickman

I plan to build a cage and put a stickman inside instead of using bird to bring out my concept

Bird shadow art

This is one of the idea that I liked the most, I tired to made my own version but I failed. But it give me idea to do my video art by using shadow.

Origami bird cage

Finally I decided to do my artwork based on this concept. I think it is a very way creative to build a bird cage out of a book.
