Artist Statement : 

My name is Tracy Angeline Tio. You can call me Tracy/Trac. On my journey at the end of semester, I was assigned to create a poster and animation themed self titled as my final project.

For me, Self titled is a way to express our identity in what we created. In work meaning, Self titled is the same as the name of the person or entity responsible for its creation. The function is to emphasizing the connection between the work and its creator, as if the work is an embodiment of the artist's identity or personal expression. Based on that, I began by finding what title suit best for the poster and it is "Doing Good Things For Myself".

Doing Good for Myself emerges as a celebration of personal growth, self-care, and the empowering journey towards self-discovery. This visual narrative encapsulates the essence of the human spirit, urging viewers to reflect on the importance of prioritizing one's well-being in the pursuit of a fulfilling existence.

Through a harmonious blend of colors, typography, and imagery, I aim to convey a sense of positivity and empowerment. I choose an element that reflect for myself which is my habit, dream to beyond like a rocket and swaying flower to describe comfort places.

Everyone deserves to be loved. You are worthy enough to love yourself by doing good for your sake. - Now I'm doing good things and you should do too.

REFLECTIONS

Experience

Reflecting on my final project, which centered around the creation of a poster titled "Doing Good for Myself" and an accompanying animation using After Effects, has been both challenging and immensely rewarding. The thematic focus on self-betterment and the visual storytelling aimed at promoting personal growth provided a meaningful context for the project.

I was so happy and grateful to finish this task on time and satisfied with the result. As I delved deeper into the animation process, I discovered the transformative power of motion graphics in conveying complex ideas and emotions. I tried to think on another way by doing the animation. It could be hard but it also develop me more about using the after effect. I got introduced to many aspect especially the effect & presets (wave and bend). I'm looking forward for the next project to discover more effects on it.

Observation

These project not only honed my technical skills in graphic design and animation but also deepened my appreciation for the storytelling potential within these mediums. The journey from uncertainty to enjoyment mirrors the broader narrative of personal growth – acknowledging the difficulty of the initial steps, embracing the learning process, and ultimately finding joy in the self-improvement journey.

 

Findings

When making the poster, I realized it stands not only as a visual representation of self-care but also as a personal testament to the transformative power of artistic exploration. The fusion of static and dynamic elements in the poster and animation reflects the dynamic nature of personal growth, emphasizing that the process, like the final outcome, is a beautiful and evolving work of art.
