The future of Thaipography or Thaipographica
|
What will happen with this space (room) after I finished the THaipography project. Actually, I'd like to turn to the name that i have been using for my own company (which i assume that i have one but it just my independent design group that mainly I'm the person who've done the jobs from Bangkok and Melbourne sofar). ThaiPographica is the name that i'm talking about. It'snt much different from my project name but to be honest before i came to the course I had the idea to do some motion graphic about Thai font for along time since i graduated my B.A. graphic design but.......anyway blah blah blah. So, let's talk about the future before I fogot everything. My aim is I try to make one film (kinda film) onece a year in my spare time and of course I have to get money from my normal work otherwise how can i do it. What I'm goin to do with my "THAIPOGRAPHICA", i want to non_commercial work, to be honest, i will do it. I know it's sound crazy or nut but I will try to do no matter what it will turn my "THAIPOGRAPHY" to be so poor anyway. Thailand or my mother land is always good place to live but of course it'snt free for u to tell the idea or make something that reverse my culture and please listen to what adults say whatever it take. That is the main reason that i can say i hate my culture. In Melbourne is different story , why? because I can be myself 100%, i can say I dont want to do this job and I dont think you are not good client. I did say and could be honest reather than I have to be a bit fake for the people in Bangkok. I have been working as a freelance designer in Melbourne since late 2002. It's amazing kinda life, everything I think or do is always great and on the right track. I ahve people who understand what i do and why I do. I dont ahve to be like , oh yes your Idea is great or I think this one is better than the other one blahblahblah. Moreover, i also can write what I thought even someone came to me and said my article is crab but most of people in here love it and voted to be the 3rd article that people been reading since the newspaper was born. I'm happy with myself more when I live here but of course I do miss my family, friends and something that i used to. However, it might be time to force Thai people to open their eyes and understand the world out side. Time to say, hey watch out! look at yourself! and dont think you better than anyone. I love my hometown as much as i want to get away from them. Thipographica might be a small indepedent designer group , who has a bright future as the big firm but we are what we are and try to teach the world honestly to my culture. |

Hey Shy,
It's Jonathan - who went to AIM graduation and talked on MSN. You have some interesting comments. I think Blogs are good like that - so is the internet in a lot of ways - say what you want and it's up to other people to respond how they want. But hmmm... The style and content question makes me wonder. You see when I first saw your film this exact question popped into my head. ---- He is either a terrible story teller and bad at making a film with a good story (Thaipography doesn't seem to have a story that stands out beside telling clues to Thai culture, history, art, government, religion and most of all Alphabet.) or .... He specifically meant to create the film to have interesting style and visuals and sound.
So it is interesting that my hunch was correct from reading your blog. To me Thaipography was one amazing image that changed as time passed and Thai characters danced across the screen with amazing colours and amazing shapes and sounds to match.
Well it was interesting to read your blog - I'll check it out again another time I think.
