This assignment is pared into two-people group, luckily I was assigned with Haoren who make up for my shortcomings.

My ad: creative thoughts, drawing skill, good at design, think out of box.

Haoren ad: time managment, align project step by step, inspire me to think more.

Haoren first mentioned he wants to use shadow for the media, then we start on brainstorm about the story.

Inspiration:

I have watch this animation like years ago. When we mentioned about “too much info and tired about school work and life”, this is what first jumped into my mind. So then we decided to use shadow to recreate the sleepy eyes like what shown in the animation.
