Subject : ‘the life and times’ of someone you admire or a group of people you
admire.

This group work was life and time about Alfred Hitchcock. The final work
will be a package and a group of posters. It contains such a information about
Alfred Hitchcock's films, life, phobias, cameos, collaborators etc. I made
two information designs 'All the Cameos of Hitchcock' and 'Favourite Collaborators
of Hitchcock' as my parts of this task.
During this work, I researched lots of information about Alfred
Hitchcock and watched some his films. By the time, I was really interested in
appearing himself in his film as a cameo. Secondly, He worked with many famous
people, actors, actresses, composers and designer. One of his collaborators was
Saul Bass, who was one of the greatest designers, worked title and sequence for
so many Hitchcock’s films. That is why I decided to design about cameos and
collaborators.
I’d got massive impression from his skill of using voyeurism through his
films such as Psycho, Rear Window and Vertigo. (It made me to bought some his DVD
collection.) Because of this I applied a keyhole in the middle of Cameos
information design and put Hitchcock’s eye behind the keyhole as he looks
at his cameo scenes himself as a
voyeur. Actually, I had made the keyhole bigger than finished one with his
whole face but my tutor advised me to change it smaller and thinner with showing
only his eye, I did and it is much better, it has more reality.
It's made by A1 size and I applied circle lines (it can be work like a
spiral effect) around the diagram respectively so that it makes attention and a
bit dizzy to viewer. The reason why I used this effect, we can recognise that
Hitchcock was very good at using this kind of effect through his film Vertigo. That
effect designed by Sail Bass so I used circle and spiral shape for my those
works. I believe that it looks so cool and dizzy.
