thought properly, with a proper spine of
the story/storyline.

The idea was to educate the importance


of knowing well what to eat/put in our

are characters who live in the same

Sweeping through myths.

There seems to be quite the misconceptions when


it comes to AI and inevitable fear when it comes to
something we have yet to understand and have control
over.

In order to gain a deeper understanding on my target


audience (who I’m declaring my campaign to) and -
better yet - the common public, I created a survey to
delve into the common misunderstanding of AI.

First Q’s session on my Instagram:


@saintmatta
ISTD: Protest Sprint: Copywriting & Typography

Target Audience

Initially, it was hard to categorise my


audience since the interest in AI lies on a
broad spectrum of people, from design &
tech students, experts, to businessmen &
women, so I narrowed them down to a few
categories.

Catered to audience from the age of 18 - 50,


this campaign is dedicated to people who:

- create and develop AI [i.e. tech experts &


students]
- use, appreciate, support [i.e. general public
who buy Alexa by Amazon, Google Assistant
devices, smartphones with built-in AI]
- help fund AI projects [i.e. investors,
business watchers, or even ministers &
senior officials]
ISTD: Protest Sprint: Copywriting & Typography

Why should we act now?

The machines have arrived, and they are


learning.

There is no danger in wanting safety, but


there is no use in stopping the development
of Artificial Intelligence.
AI has promising features as a resource to
sustain and advance this very civilisation,
at its current state, and before it’s misused,
there needs to be a sort of regulation for this
vast and invaluable resource.

What’s our chance in NOT turning the world


into a dystopia?

The responses are interesting.

About 70% of the 18 - 25 year olds (as of this result


was screencaptured) are ready to embrace the change
for the automated future yet 60% of them (assuming
they are the same lot) fear and think how much of a
threat AI could be to humanity.

This shows that there’s an interest in finding out the


benefits automated future could potentially offer and
that they’re open to the idea of it to begin with.

Graphic agitation

I was looking at protest graphics and


I found this book that fits this brief
perfectly. This book is also well-
named.

The first book of Graphic Agitation


is about the protests from the 60s
until 2000s, so we’re looking at war
politics, first wave feminism, nuclear
war, and racism.
This works as a retrospective for me.

I’d like to experiment on these different


tones and see which one could convince

target audience

This campaign is targeted for young


creatives, and people who are just

This makes it easier for me to pinpoint
the first cue in order to target this
campaign right in the audience’s heart.
D&AD:
D&AD: MicrosoftSURFACE
MICROSOFT Surface The Brief
PROPOSAL

First Cue
The first similarity that could help
define the solution is the struggle of a
newborn creative.

My initial thought was to incorporate


that journey that fresh creative is going
through (or perhaps the first few steps of
it) with Microsoft products.
D&AD:
D&AD: MicrosoftSURFACE
MICROSOFT Surface The Brief
PROPOSAL

but what makes it a


different campaign than
the other tech brands’?

My approach is to create a campaign


that is well-written and well-shot, almost
cinematic. The product itself wouldn’t
make an appearance often, it’s just
there, acting as the main companion to
the character in his/her journey.
D&AD:
D&AD: MicrosoftSURFACE
MICROSOFT Surface The Brief
PROPOSAL

Good Examples

These are two adverts that I am a fan of. Top is Apple Homepod
directed by Spike Jonze which is cinematically pleasing. Bottom
is Amazon Echo called Dad’s Day. Both have two good story
to tell, but one is more visually pleasing and is longer to enjoy.
The products on both adverts only make an appearance in a few
appearences and yet the impact is still there.
D&AD: MICROSOFT SURFACE PROPOSAL

After the initial steps of thinking, I


found that with the story I want to tell,
there’s an innocence derived from the
nervousness of starting in the creative
journey in that which I feel like needs to
be embraced.
D&AD: MICROSOFT SURFACE PROPOSAL

I’d like something heart-warming. I’d like something that


me, my colleagues, my friends, young creatives all over
the world can relate to.
D&AD: MICROSOFT SURFACE PROPOSAL

Innocence to me is captured perfectly in Wes Anderson’s


movies. I’m also inspired by Spike Jonze’s Her that captures
I’d just like something quirky
the sense of being and feeling human in a world with advanced
technology. In my outcome, I’d love to capture that relationship
between human and machine.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012) dir. Wes Anderson Her (2013) dir. Spike Jonze
D&AD:
D&AD: MicrosoftSURFACE
MICROSOFT Surface The Brief
PROPOSAL

One of my ideas is to capture the relationship


of a young creative with his/her piece of
technology. It would be “a day in the life of”,
showing his/her routine and from there it can
be seen the struggle as a young creative, to
keep practicing and to sometimes lose courage
in refining the skill. But most importantly, the
main struggle that I’d like to emphasise is
being put in a box as a creative.

The world is no longer black & white, and


creativity doesn’t stop at one platform.
Creative practices have seemed to merge into
each other and in this day and age,

We don’t like labels. We establish ourselves.


We are what we want to be, whichever platform
and practice we do. Why be one at a time?

Why not all at once?

What to do next

I’d like to make a huge questionnaire on paper


and put it on the magnetic wall in graphics 4th

down their answers on a post-it note.

SIKLUS CATHARSIA OBJECTIVES

The objective is to create a visual storytelling with a narrative


derived from ANTICORE’s DNA that will be shown throughout
the label’s branding and output, which practice is theorised in
my dissertation. The goal is to simulate coherence amongst the
products.

This season, ANTICORE embraces the chaos and violence that


is the human nature, within the realm that is called SIKLUS
CATHARSIA.

The only question is, why chaos?

Artemisia Gentileschi
RATIONALE siklus catharsia

CATHARTIC PURPOSE

I have taken this project as a personal reflection and as a person


I have always been on the side of Order more than Chaos and
it reflects on my work which I personally think is rather artificial
and sometimes “too sleek”. This project works as an experiment
in order to be more open to the idea of disorder in the hope of
making my work to be a bit more raw.

One that inspires me the most to ascend into that mindset is the
chaotic and violent quality that is embedded in human nature,
which is often reluctant to be embraced because of all the Order
that is the created in the societal system.

AUDIENCE PROFILING siklus catharsia

CHANGE OF DEMOGRAPHIC

After ANTICORE’s first collection, the brand’s direction
and its target audience became clearer. Initially, the
brand wanted its garments to be available anywhere to
push the goal of having modesty to be worn everywhere
by 25 - 50 year olds.
However, jumping back into the brand’s value and
identity, ANTICORE has definitely become an avant-
garde label that is sought after by:

- men & women.


- 21 - 41 years old.
- knows fashion inside-out.
- is usually artistically intelligent.
- shops clothing for quality or is supportive of the
designer & their philosophies.
- is genuinely not gravitated towards the
mainstream music.

ITSELF FIRST.
Inspired by deconstruction, I took a couple
of days to refresh my memory on making
shapes on fabric and turning them into
something that looks (quite) wearable.

I took a huge inspiration from Margiela


by John Galliano, Gareth Pugh and
UNDERCOVER (left to right). I also wanted
to create some cyberpunk references on
the garment and imagery to deliver the
story.
GARMENT MOOD BOARD siklus catharsia

With no background in fashion, I created a mood board that’s supposed to help me


visualise and style the garments that I bought on sale for me to experiment with.

how pattern works precisely and the deconstruction mode started from
there. The rest is with the help of countless pins, needles, and my fingers.
It’s important to know what form and shape to do at least prior to
photoshoot because on set, the least thing everyone wants is to waste
studio time.
GARMENT EXPERIMENTATION siklus catharsia

THE BEGINNING
of 3D SCANNING
(TRNIO APP.)

I have finally begun my journey in incorporating 3D objects into my image-


making practice. Having tried VR and enjoying it from first throughout
second year, I decided to take it up a notch. Since I couldn’t get my
hands on full body 3D scanner, I had a vision of creating a moving
campaign instead of a static campaign.
The Trnio app works well for this project because the rendered object
doesn’t look too neat for the narrative. On the right is an example of a
scan that I took very carefully that it is almost accurate. All I had to do
was to take pictures within the app and move left/right slowly & patiently.
PHOTOSHOOT DAY siklus catharsia

On set, I made some other iterations on the look of the garment. Because
it’s based on deconstruction, I found it easier to just layer it ‘chaotically’
with different kinds of fabric. The pins were major life saver.
I also brought the garment mood board on set to make the styling job
even easier. For the set or tiny physical evironment, I brought some foil and
wires to create that synthetic, plugged-in android feel to the photographs.

FINAL 3D SCANS siklus catharsia

The TRNIO app allows the user to upload the scanned


object into Sketchfab.com as a PLY file and the uploader
can publish their scans. Sketchfab gives an option to make
the scans downloadable for public in .OBJ format, which,
according to one of the technicians, is easier to work with
if I wanted to edit and make them into a video sequence.

Credits to the technician, Koray Pezukoglu who sat down


with me and helped format the objects by using Cinema4D
into a looped gif, image sequences, and .mp4.

WORKING
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Whilst working on the sequence, I wanted the campaign to have
some sort of a frame. So I created a frame based on my iterations
that I drew and had both Photoshop and After Effects up and
running at the same time to ease me edit the frame.

PACKAGING DESIGN IDEATION siklus catharsia

WHAT WOULD
REPRESENT
When thinking of anticore’s
packaging, I was thinking of huge ANTICORE?.
brands like Hermes and their
packaging. I could never forget the
iconic huge orange box with the
Alfred de Dreux’s painting of the
hitched carriage and waiting groom
on them.

The brand association kept me


mindful of what to pick for anticore. I
would like anticore packaging to look
strong yet feel delicate and personal.
Something that is wrapped with a soft
fabric or rice paper, tied with a black
natural twine around it.

The textured paper would give a


concrete-solid look that is strong and
sturdy. I also love the idea of contrast,
so the black natural twine and black
pheasant feather would add a touch
of delicacy and airiness, contradicting
to the paper.

with AI resistance (2001: A Space Odyssey, Terminator, Ex Machina)
and I changed the title to one of my tag lines, which is “Dystopia is

and the option is the vote for AI regulation. The second approach
is the type-exploring approach. It was a lot of pleasure to do and
I think they all look well-put-together. I also love making the tag
lines, because I have this discomforting agitation about the massive
fear that people have with AI when they just don’t understand how
beneficial it is as a resource and they often think that the robots are
here to kill us. That is why we need to understand it. That is why we
need to regulate it. This has been a graphic agitation.
