PLAY (final week, brennah)

STEPHANIE TREINEN // ZINE // DAILY DOSE
This is the zine I designed as an exploration for senior project. It was in response to the research I had been doing about perception and illusion and the psychology of seeing. It was meant to be a small sized zine filled with mind games in creating illusions through pattern and also reading excerpts from writing about perception and its construction.
Lindsey: Thesis Mediums - Zine
I re-designed my zine from last week so that my imagery would have more connection to my content. It is inspired by the Windows 95 debacle between India/Pakistan and Argentina/Peru. The initial release of the software included a map in the set-up window that allowed the user to choose a time zone. Because there were ongoing border issues with the previously mentioned countries, India and Argentina were upset that the map had incorrect borders (off by only a few pixels) and they threatened to boycott Windows if they did not recall the software and fix the map. The zine is also in support of the dymaxion map because it is the most accurate way of assembling a globe and portraying a flat map.
Lindsey: Thesis Mediums - Environmental Intervention
This is a sticker campaign designed to give the users a tangible experience with the concept of geo-social mapping. The stickers are divided into categories and each sticker has a white space for a sketch or writing that will indicate the place that the user has visited.
Lindsey: A Day Without Art posters
This is a series of posters I designed for a mock protest in support of A Day Without Heart. If you give back to the arts, you nurture the heart of the community.
Emma's A Day Without Art gif
I used Nigel Zeff's photos that documented our protest papers to create a gif for our website.
Emma's Sustainabilty Project
I responded to the article discussing Nick Cave's work and the way he creates treasure out of trash. The specific quote, "The transforming qualities inherent in society's most overlooked rejects, " really got me thinking. I love magazines and I have always kept the cool ones to use for collaging, wrapping gifts, and different things. I wanted to create a little inspirational look book out of a magazine. I grabbed one of the old magazines that the school library was going to trash. I folded the pages to create new compositions that could lead to a new color palette, imagery, layout, or different things to inspire a new design that you are starting.

We all know what a conversation sounds like, but what does a conversation look like?
STEPHANIE TREINEN // WRITING
Collage by Sean
Color Version -
I created a visual commentary on our current situation on restoring the ecological damages that production has caused, in a form of a collage. Most sci-fi films set in the future are either set in space or another planet hinting and maybe commenting on how Earth, in its whole, is a depleting resource. Some movies have even gone so far as depicting Earth in the future as a 'dead planet'.
My commentary and reaction was influenced by this lovely article, and how the Obama administration plans to halt off-shore drilling in the Eastern Gulf. Considering that my commentary is set in a dystopia, where a totalitarian government is in charge, the government has allowed no limitations to off-shore drilling and oil drilling in general which has caused the planet Earth to deplete enormously.
"Space is the place"
For my senior thesis I am interested in understanding the present and current events through the use of science fiction film genre
