Project 2: Creative Brief & Story Board
For Project 2, I will be using the assets and data from one of my previous projects in Text. I will also add a voice-over as many of the infographics is about notable philosophers and their lives. It will also include some death metal music to accentuate the nihilism and as well as make the voice-over less jarring.
The project will cover the subject of nihilism. It will start with a brief overview of the history including notable philosophers such as Camus, Nietzsche, Sartre, and others. Though these philosophers are not nihilists in a strict sense, their radical departures from their respective milieus have influenced the modern manifestations of nihilism. The next short section will cover the modern manifestations of nihilism including Rick & Morty, BoJack Horseman, and another because three is a good number. The last section will look at what Camus’ considers the three reactions to nihilism: religion, death, or embracing the absurd. These will be written as stats about death, religion, and absurdism and a departure from the normal.
All backgrounds will be in grey and all writing will be in Helvetica or Univers in black with no capitals. In order to add life to the project without starying from the theme, I will have rotoscoped icons and figures in black which will contrast with the flat typography on grey. Rotoscoped images will also add to the absurdist views that I incorporated from Sartre and Camus.
