Silhouette Intuition

The first project of the semester in New Media Design was about misinformation.  To me misinformation in terms of art means to present something in a way that is different from conventional belief and reason in an effort to make a statement.

I chose to display common household items on a white background void of the brand “name”. Even after taking the text off, the products were still recognizable. For my last project I chose to expand on this initial concept. With this new project that took the form of a flash presentation, I focused on the phenomenon of recognize someone from there silhouette. A shape void of details still reads as a distinct shape.

I simplified the products into basic vectors to make the products even more obscure than before. I’ve found that the majority of the products are still recognizable. I’ve equated this feeling of discovery to seeing a silhouette. The shapes and outlines reveal something despite crucial details being missing.
