SAME-SAME BUT DIFFERENT
This project is about Appearance discrimination. Appearance discrimination is an issue of different ages. Often discrimination stems from fear and misunderstanding. Because of the misunderstanding children will fear or bullying the person different from them, for example, different race, gender and etc.
In this project, I design a series of doll character lets kids know about the different and the same between us.
we own it to children of all colors to create and market play objects that reflect the rainbow of diversity in the human race. It’s also time to encourage underrepresented kid’s interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with more toys and media demonstrating that they belong in these fields. Parents, if you want these things for your children and for everyone get vocal on social media and elsewhere. Let’s make it happen.
Research
This research is to explore how discrimination issue affects the world. As a designer what we could do to make more people know how serious this issue.
Power Ads use real google search to show the scope of sexism worldwide
Google autocomplete is a feature that suggests what your search term might be, based on its most frequent searches and the content of web pages. It is, in many ways, a neutral reflection of society. Women teamed up with Christopher Hunt of Ogilvy & Mather to come up with a series of thought-provoking ads that highlight authoritative attitudes towards women. The ads show the real Google search results of search terms like “women need to”, “women should” and “women cannot”, revealing the abhorrent opinions that people around the world have about women. The words “women shouldn’t suffer from discrimination anymore” and “women cannot accept the way things are” appear in tiny, white print that is barely legible, showing how these opinions are largely ignored. These ads do a stellar job driving home the daunting fact that so many people around the world share these vile opinions, so much so that Google has come to expect them.
Words can kill
Violence is not just physical, Words may impact as much as a punch and lead to the destruction of a person. This is a campaign created by Armando Testa to sensitize the whole population, and particularly the young, about the issue of racism and discrimination. An unusual point of view, using the words which are the easiest way to discriminate. Words which are often treated lightly, heard at home, out in the street, and repeated at school, in sports stadiums at the traffic lights... The visual, featuring four subjects, shows a close-up of a black man, a man of Arabic origin, a Rom woman and a young person who is overweight. Their skulls are perforated by what might be interpreted as a bullet, but in fact, it is a word, entering from the left and then coming out on the right, and then shattering which shows the destructive power of an insult, racial prejudice or discriminatory irony. The text highlights the meaning of the campaign: “Anche le parole possono uccidere” (Even words can kill) No to discrimination, the other person is just like me.
SAME-SAME BUT DIFFERENT
Same-same but different is actually come from Thailand. The Tinglish (Thai-English) phrase ‘same-same, but different’ means ‘similar’. While its precise origins are largely unknown, it’s likely that this construction originally appeared when Thais who were learning English tried to converse with visitors. The reason why I use this as my project name is that I want people to understand that all of us might be different but at the same time we are the same as a human.
Sketch
Trying different styles of character design.
Process
For doll making, I am using a fabric printer to print out my illustrations of the dolls and sew it.
