My main passion, music. Actually it is really representative of my personnality. Easy to live with, but really hard to understand.

Our final 254 project : the Dynes!

It's the only picture I can show you of our final project. We had to create the currency of the future. Since we though that everybody would do it in an Utopia society, we decided to create it the most realistic as possible.
Actually we had two part for our project. The first one was a chip that everybody would have under their skin that would look like: "http://people.howstuffworks.com/animated-tattoo.htm". Instead of a customizable tattoo, the chip would show the picture of a bar code, or something similar to, which correspond to you unique ID. Since the teacher preferred our second part, I won't elaborate on the technicalities of the chip.
The second one was the bills. Even if the chip was enough to replace the credit and depit cards, we though that it would be impossible to remove completely all the bills from society. We changed the concept of bills being a currency for bills as a product. We decided to put advertising on smaller electronic bills. Electronic because we wanted to remove completely the concept of coins. When you go to the bank to print your bills, you can decide which charge would be in the bill. Then, when you want to use it in a shop, a machine is used to change the charge that was on it. There is many different kind of bills. The sponsored one is a bill that cost less than the value of the bill. The commemorative and the conservative are the same to print it. The famous designera bills are a lot more expensive for its value. My favorite, the personnalized one, expensive too, you can use your own design to put on the bill.
Oh! and by the way, our currency what called the Dynes.

Design Exercise about mapping. Sorry for the quality.
It is the map of the administrative floor of my brain, where all the big decisions related to relations with other corporations are made. Their is a chair for the Friendship, Dating, Studying and working Director. Lacking space on other floors, we decided to add the offices for the big decisions for our own corporation, left and right brain team. The CEO is the conscience of this floor, assuring that all the decisions are good ones.

The idea was to create an humorous ransom note. I found the trap, then the cat,... to continue was only a matter of time : ). Most of the stuff has been found in a Gothic magazine that I brought back from Amsterdam this summer.

Dating Symbols

These are my symbols that represent my daily activity -> Dating!!!! (actually I've not taken it so seriously, so don't worry if there is stupid things) (and for being sure that nobody think it, I'm usually not a pervert : ) )

I'll post explanation about each:
1 - This is a pervert guy looking in the keyhole of a door leading to... probably a girl undressing, but I let you imagine what you want.
2 - Warning, mating area. I think it can be useful if there is really this kind of place in a public area, so you can make your mind before seeing it.
3 - My favorite, kissing area : ). A public place that lovers can legally show their love to each other : P. I wanted to put something like Only on weekdays from 8h to 23h. But it was getting more stupid that it already was : ).
4 - Flirting for tourists (blue usually mean a touristic area). Very useful when you are searching for a travel love relationship :P. (and yes, the 2 last ones are ugly, I've done them in 5 minutes)
5 - You are legally authorized to depressed in this area because of a broken heart.

Movie Game Propaganda

I had to make a movie project of one minute which had to be the size of a cellphone screen, or iPod, or any small electronical device. Excuse me, the synchronisation in the online version is not very good, the video is not playing as fast as audio. Ok, there is the explanation of this movie (watch it before reading this).

It is a critic about the increasing violence and realism in videogames which is linked to the increasing cases of school shooting. It starts with a small screen to show the difference about technology and reality. The music too was to create an empty atmosphere in the reality to show that it is not as games. The end of the movie was only to make people react like the guy was really seeing life as an extension of videogames.
You should read the book about the history of Cybercraft it is really interesting : P.
