With much evaluation and some discussion, we’ve come to an end of our project. And presentation is tomorrow, however, now is the time to link everything we’ve come to get on our hands in the 6 keywords.
Namely, Fiction, reality, addiction, relation, dependence.
What really hit me the most is reality.
Why did i choose reality? Because Identity can either portray the reality, or a person’s fantasy. In other words, what i said about a true identity and a fake identity. Most of the positive identities are reality as it portrays what a person truly is, not their imagination, its their true self. Fake identities are MADE by the people themselves to try their best accomplishing perfections. However, perfections are a fantasy too. That is why, i believe reality is a good keyword to relate to identity. As a human, we should face reality and know our identity.
Get the picture? (:
Our final product is try to give the audience the idea of wearing their identity everyday. The front shirt represents our fake identity, the back represents our true identity.
Usually, people wear their fake identity at the front, because they are so insecure and wants to impress and wants people to accept it, trying to be someone they are not. However, they kept their true identity in the back, in the dark, trying their best not to show it.
A brief summary…..
Identity to me is simply a way to express ourselves, of which, of course it means, there can be negative and positive identity. WHat do i mean by that? It simply means that there are two ways to having identities, the truth, and the fake. Why would all this happen, it all so happens to be because of how they want to look in the face of others. They tend to impress others, and want others to accept them. THat overtime, leads to what we know as “losing our identity.”
People take advantage of something called Virtual Identity, that can help them to hide who they really are, so that people would see them as what they want to be.
Eg, Someone in bigger size tends to be concern about what others think of them, whether they’ll see them as, for instance, an outcast or obese.
That is why,identity should be something that someone should be proud of. Ultimately, humans are imperfect, thats for sure. There no need to be afraid about what others think, or whether you do something wrong. THere are always a second chance to everything.
yeah.
Well, regarding our virtual identity, i am not very impress with what is going on around me. Reason being, there are times where people seems to refuse to use their actual identity in certain sites like tumblr/facebook/msn etc. People tends to feel insecure of themselves, and loves to show the other side of them which is not true.
For example, people uses avatars that is not theirs, examples of these avatars are cartoon characters or some other people’s photos to represent themselves. We discussed what we thought about Identity for individuals, and i totally agree with how people wants to make themselves my perfect in others eyes. But to tell you the truth, no ones perfect. I know this is dull, but its true. THere’s no denying the truth, there’s no denying that humans are not perfect. That is why, i am not delighted with the idea of people trying to impress people, trying to make a perfect impression to people.
They are just insecure humans.
After saying all that i know about identity and elaborating on the significance of identities..
i just wanna state that it is truly an irritating feeling for me to see people losing their identities, or rather, they let go of them. How can a world live without identities?
Indeed, a good question to muse about and reflect on it…….
Identity is truly important, has it ever occur to you? But why is it that?
What is Identity, why do we need it..
I truly believe that whatever we do, wherever we are, everyone has to know their identity in life.
For example, we, the people of IXD, we are designers, and we have to know we are a designer before we start our work. By knowing who we are, we know what we’re doing, and we know where should we look ourselves as.
Another example is, Even in church, our mentors/shepherds and leaders taught us to know our identity in Christ, so that we would know why we do what we do, and always know why we persevere throughout the entire race. Knowing our motivation which results in perseverance and faith, not giving up and accomplishing it at the end.
That is why, identity is truly important in our lives.
Throughout the lesson taught this morning, i realise that..
Identity is truly important, and how Mr andrew was able to link the exercises with our assignments, is quite amazing. It shown us plenty as reference to our project. How are we gonna showcase our ideas to the audience? It depends on our identity, and the people’s as well. (Perhaps.) Be it on posters, videos, slides etc etc.
We should identify and understand our identity and branch our ideas. ->
