APD - Play and Rules

Theme

Play and Rules

(Rules are things that we made by compromising our ideas with others.)

Context

When you know someone’s name, you will usually (consciously or unconsciously) put the person’s personality in a certain bubble. For an instance, whenever I hear someone named Carly (without having interact with them or sese them), I will quickly associate them with being playful, childish and bubbly, this is the result of the unwritten ‘rule’ that is made up inside my head since the only Carly I’ve known since birth is from a TV show iCarly. Thus, Carly is a rule. This association of names and personality relies heavily on experience and influences.

Method

For this week’s theme, I will take a playful approach to my names and illustrate their personas according to my experience with the names. While also taking into account the concept of Jungian Archetypes. Taking advantage of my full name, which is Alice Veronica Clarice Natasha Tan (I’m not lying, ask my parents!), for this project, I will illustrate Alice, Veronica, and Natasha. I will also try to subtly illustrate their mannerism.
