Taxi Driver

Title Sequence, Riso print

Using traffic lights as a framing device to symbolize human nature's contradictions, inspired by the film Taxi Driver.
Collaboration with Claudia Fung

My Role and Insights
I used colors red, green, and yellow to represent societal constraints, true selves, and the gray areas. My progress involved developing this abstract concept and collaborating with fellow student Claudia Fung to create 3D mockups and riso prints. This project pushed me to depict stories more abstractly.

Highlights

Experimented with translating ideas through different media types
Advanced my teamwork and collaborative skills

Concept
Travis believes he must combat New York's street crime by his own means. Despite his black-and-white view of the world, he ultimately confronts humanity's inherent contradictions. Using traffic lights as a framing device, red symbolizes societal constraints, green represents our true selves, and yellow denotes the gray area of our inner contradictions.
