Brief:
To create a piece that represents/ interprets our minor irritation
- mine being babies crying on public transport.
I first started by investigating different ideas. I knew that I
wanted to represent the baby as a dinosaur as that’s something I've always
associated the noise with. Moreover, I wanted to depict the baby in a more
satirical and animalistic way, to take away from the everyday connotations and
taboos associated with the innocence of a baby.
I created
this illustration with the intention of it being used in some sort of satirical
humorous brand, maybe a magazine or a logo on a t-shirt – anything that could
be printed and used for commercial use. I wanted to aim it at people with a
sort of dark humour, whilst making it colourful, playful and informal.
After the
peer critique we held, I thought of ways I could develop this idea and make it
actually solve a problem and turn the irritation into something playful
(drawing parallels with the ideas the illustration emits) in order to
communicate with an audience.
I decided
on designing an app (see images below) that would take the person subject to the situation, and
create an interactive environment whereby the irritation can be uniquely used
within a game. The person can record sounds on the ‘baby dinosaur’ crying, and
remix the sounds to create different beats and tunes. They can design their
dinosaur, uniquely to how they feel the sounds suits, and so on. Essentially
the app would successfully distract the subject, solving all the uncomfortable
aspects of for both parties involved.
