As stated in an earlier blogpost, I'm studying graphic design. I'm gonna post stuff that I make here if I think its worth it

The first one was for an assignment called 'Numerical brands'. We had to use the number in a brand/productname in a creative manner. We were free to do with it what we wanted, both in conceptual phase aswell as execution.
I'll first post the picture and then my explanation in spoilerbrackets. I'm hoping the concept should be pretty clear without it =)

[image loading]

+ Show Spoiler +
I chose to take the symbolical value of 'Zero' and at the same time did a parody on their bottleburst animations (not sure if those appear in coke ads outside of belgium). In the ideas of plato, I wanted show the reality which often resides behind massive corporations around the globe. The shadow of the reality which we see, is just a bunch of stupid pretty logos.


Comments/suggestions/woots/... are welcome as always!

Absolutely fantastic. I agree wholeheartedly with the message, which was quite apparent, and just on a plain visual level, I really like it. The starkness/minimalism of the overall picture hints at the emptiness of the corporate wasteland. Please keep this kind of work up! 5/5

What is that strange gradient effect in the background? Did you choose to make it look like that?

Yeah, I worked that gradient for several reasons: the (obvious) focalization of the subject, the imperfection within not to make it a bland photoshopgradient and last but not least: my own liking
And furthermore, Inky raised a very good point about why I envisioned this style!

To everyone: thanks guys! I appreciate it

Even after seeing a LOT of those "bottle burst" graphics, I really like this one. Great concept with the reality and the logos.

A lot of people are reacting very positively to this picture. I am curious why - is it because it looks so good, or because the message resonates with you?

This image has a strong anti-consumerism, anti-corporate, and anti-government message. You might even say it is anti-capitalism. If you share these views, please realize that consuming anti-consumerism messages such as this is not the same as resisting consumer culture or corporations or government (which would be an ironic mistake to make, in this situation.)

So often people within the consumer culture will mistake their consumption of radical art, music, movies, etc, for radical action. Someone might represent themselves as a radical because they bought Fight Club, or read Noam Chomsky, or so on. In reality, if all they are doing is consuming radical material, they are supporting the consumer culture, not resisting it. There is nothing wrong with consuming radical material, and I believe radical material can be really fantastic, but let it be an inspiration for action in your own life. There is very good reason to take radical action today.

In short: if you agree with this kind of art, do something about it.

I personally think it looks like the Pimp Shit. IDK if I personally agree with the message because I've been introduced to both viewpoints (via being a Pol. Sci. major and a Business major) and it's all left me really confused T_T.
