Message from the future

Message from the future:
For this project, I wanted to warn myself by saying “ Back up your files”. So the message “ Back up your files” led me to think about 4 ideas which were
#1. Typography with mouse chords expressing “Back up your files”
#2. Another Typography with stretched mouse chords illustrating Back up your files message.
#3. In a computer’s desktop background, person trying to get a file from recycle bin.
#4. Guy screaming the message “ Backup your files” and combining a trash bin app on the right side of the corner.
#5. Instead of yolk coming out from an egg, I came up with an idea of yolk coming out from photoshop application. Illustrated the type behind the yolk which gave a contrast between the wiggly font and the normal.

The book will consist of illustrations of objects that had meaning in my life. Each object will come together to unravel the story about me. lived in multiple countries since I was young and had to go through different cultures. Each country had a unique atmosphere and background. Learning each culture and trying to fit into a new environment has been challenging but it has surely contributed in shaping who I am now. Throughout my stays in countries, I had a particular obsession in collecting objects that were unique to each country. As time passed, I grew attachment to these objects as they felt like they represented my special times when I was living in each country. Therefore, I felt that drawings of packaging of different products I encountered as I grew up would be a good way of illustrating my past and my present. This process means a lot to me because this was something I really wanted to create sometime in my lifetime. I think this year is the right time where i finally settled in and I am preparing for my next chapter in life. By creating a book, I want to reflect on my life and spend time to study about myself and how different chapters have contributed to who I am today.
