Competition Brief:
Redefining Platitudes demands all members to choose an existing drawing or illustration from their previous projects and develop a narrative which is distinctive from the existing narrative of that project by exploring new mediums, textures, graphic styles, and rendering styles.
Narrative:
The world is engulfed with unending stories all around. The notion applies not only to humans, but each living creature, as well as a non-living object that exists. The existence of one forms a story in itself. All existing ingredients of this world play a role knowingly or unknowingly in these narrations.
A story can be categorized into multiple divisions. Broadly, we can summarize them as,
[a] a story that somehow evolves over the time based on some incidents that takes up its form through exaggerations & cooked up details, which can be termed as rumors.
[b] a story that is told from ages which eventually doesn’t confine itself to just a storyline, but becomes a belief, ritual or a superstition that can be termed as mythological fictions.
[c] a story that we live daily, nothing but our experiences.
As such, these stories can be placed on a timeline irrespective of its factual nature. This timeline helps us understand the originality and additions that occur to the story and how a narrative unfolds.
This crucial fluidity allows for permutations and combinations to exist that help us curate our own platform to explore and read the world in our own way.
