Assignment 2 : "Fantasy Book"

Hello, all :)

I'm back with my assignment 2!! Our assignment 2 was about making "A Non-verbal Book". We had to choose an emotion or personality and make a non-verbal book based on chosen emotion. When I got this assignment, I was a bit panic because I totally didn't have any idea about how to make a non-verbal book! I was like "what? a book without word? then how do people understand what is my book about?" but soon I thought it will be really fun because I loveeee crafting :D

For my fantasy book, I wanted my book to be very special and also wanted to strengthen the advantage as an international student as well. So, I was thinking very seriously like what emotion would be special for this and suddenly I thought of 정(JEONG)! Please look at my mind map below to understand more about JEONG~

Basically, Jeong is a special kind of Korean love and combined feelings of love, affection, compassion and attachment. Before I started to make my Jeong book, I had to research a lot about it because even though I'm a Korean I cannot perfectly explain what it is. It's very hard to explain in a word form.

I took some snapshots while I was making my JEONG book :D Actually I could take more but I kept on forgetting to take :( so these not show the whole process and my effort xD I took really long time to complete each page because I kept on changing and developing ideas while I was making it. However I had a lot of fun during this process!!

Final Product named : My Jeong Book!

Book Cover

For the cover, I use pink checkered fabric because I thought it would give some feelings of warm and love :D

Also, I attached the package of choco-pie to make it look more interesting!

Page 1 :emotional connection

I used a USB cable to show that two persons are emotionally connected by Jeong :D

PAGE 2 :Sharing Food

I made a maze as an interactive object and by moving chaco-pie from one mouth to other's, it means that they are sharing the choice-pie!

PAGE 3 : Attachment

I used my old sunglasses (bought in 2003) to show that I have Jeong with it :)

PAGE 4 : Compassion

I made a mini cute cute tissue box as an interactive object and I drew two crying friends but one is holding tissue for the other. It means that the one who holding tissue is crying for the other because of Jeong.

Yay! finally I completed my JEONG BOOK!! At first I was really worried about how it will look like at the end but I think I am quite satisfied with final outcome :D The only thing that I want to change is the title on the cover. If I wrote the word Jeong In Korean, it would look more nicer. But overall, I like it and I really enjoyed making my first own book :) Bye bye ><
