Final Description:

In order to convey the diversity of concepts, cultures, identities, voices, places, and objects that is featured in Bastard, I decided to gather a variety of voices from my friends and peers and combine them together as the final narration file. Then, in tandem with the narration, I combined multiple images and footages I captured of the book in order to generate a massive train of thought in the trailer. The book itself is exploding with concepts, and gives the reader the opportunity to think about its provided images and concepts. Rarely are descriptions given, the book is highly dependent on the reader's own subjective interpretations of the images and written material included within the book.

Bastard is basically a collection of photography, illustrations, designs, and typefaces put together by a collaborating team of four, so I wanted to focus on the concept of diversity, identity, and the feeling of collaboration. The book also constantly makes the reader try to connect different images and different written work from various different parts of the book together, and also encourages the reader to ponder over the overall concept of IDENTITY. This is also why I ended up creating such a trailer as my final.

I also tried to make the images appear in harmony with my typography. I tried to focus on the directions, the speed, the flow, and the rhythm altogether.
