When the Spring comes, the vivid flowers are blooming. They are cyclical that bring a sense of lifeaffirming. Still, life is unpredictable. It may bloom or fall without notice. It may occur good or bad to you. It cannot control.
At times, life itself seems to be a maze, as our journey along its tortuous pathways leads to wrong turns, dead ends, and an unknown destination. The contradiction and confusion in the mind are projected to the Avant Garden, the surreal vivid flower garden that brings to the depth of stage of mind inspired by a maze garden. It moves and shifts with chaos and order at the same time. They are vividly colorful that please your senses but seem surreal against the backdrop of fear and loss of uncertainty. Let’s walk and mesmerize the senses through Avant Garden, to feel the movement, colors, forms, and textures.
Conclusion
Inside the mind, there are full of fears. It may confuse us with hallucination and it seems to be no way out. But, we all have hope and embrace all the good and bad things. Like flowers, life still goes on.
Objectives Aims or Purposes
Avant Garden is the visual experiment that represents how we connect to the thing surrounding us. It is one of the Unclear Relationship series showcasing the relationship and connection from the outside to the inside of the mind.
Inspired by the maze garden, it represents confusion, the trap that confounds efforts to escape. The complex thought and mind reveal in the animated vivid visual of flowers. The flowers are positively symbolized our life. They are reminding us that we’re part of something bigger, nature. But the movement and composition of elements will lead you to the chaos and order vision.
Process or Methods
During this time of pandemic COVID19, one of the things to help maintain my spirit and keep me alive is plantation and Botanic. Through the process, I was stunned by the massive forms of flowers with their vivid color. The flowers are a powerful effect on the mood. The colors will trigger our emotions. With a variety of types and species, I create visual art by simply applying the mirror effect. Carefully placed animated images with the movement, colors, and transition to go along with the abstract sound that evokes the mood and feeling of mesmerized and mystery.
Mythology is a narrative from the past. It is like a tool that helps convey historical stories. These stories reflect the way of life, thoughts, beliefs, and traditions of people in the past.
The sphinx appears in Greek and Egyptian mythology. The two cultures are closely linked and strongly influence each other. in Greek mythology The sphinx is considered a woman. One sphinx is considered to exist only in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Orthus and Echidna, or Chimera, in addition to the human head and body of a lion. She also had the wings of an eagle and the tail of a serpent. Tends to be treacherous, aggressive, and bloodthirsty. And the Sphinx likes to eat people.
Another outstanding personality trait of the Greek Sphinx is Has cat and female character, that is, talking and teasing the victim before swallowing. The Sphinx always asks every traveler to solve a mystery. The riddle she asked was a famous riddle. a sound animal Four feet in the morning, two feet in the afternoon, and three feet at night? Whoever tried to answer was eaten by the monster. However, Oedipus was able to answer correctly. He replied, “Man”, who crawled on four legs as a baby. Walks on two like an adult and needs a walking stick when he is old. There seems to be a second mystery after the first story. “There are two sisters. one gives birth to another Who will give birth to the first child? Who are they?” The correct answer is “Day and night” are two Greek words. After Oedipus answered both questions correctly. The Sphinx killed herself by flying, crashing into the ground in anger.
From the study of such stories I am interested in designing an illustration of the Sphinx. Find out about the Sphinx in papers, textbooks, and online materials to analyze the characters and formulate design guidelines to create illustrations for The Sphinx: The Mystery of the Dead, Class Publishing House

Area of machine assisted art making is considered a cutting-edge way of creative exploration. This project explores the concept of how clean energy can be produced from the balance of using natural resources through animated artwork by using machine assisted art making process or Artificial Intelligence art (A.I. art). There are a variety of ways to make A.I. art, including procedural ‘rule-based’ picture production utilizing mathematical patterns, algorithms that replicate brush strokes and other painted effects, and artificial intelligence or deep learning methods like generative adversarial networks and transformers (Szegedy et al, 2014). In this study, the artist chose Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) which is considered an innovative method for creative exploration to create the creative result. CLIP is based on extensive research on zero-shot transfer, natural language supervision, and multimodal learning allowing machine to recognize a wide variety of visual concepts in images and associate them with their text (OpenAI.com, 2021). One of emerging CLIP platforms is Disco Diffusion which runs on Google Collab (Disco Diffusion, 2022). By utilizing the text prompt “A beautiful painting of Thailand Grand Temple on a forested hill emitting green energy particles, the sky is full of smoke and cloud in the style of john Trending on artstation.” along with code settings feed to Disco Diffusion, a series of work in progress still paintings were produced showing steps machine interpreted and computed. The result is a mesmerizing painting steps in the mood and tone of the given text directive showing green particles emitting off trees along with Thai style temple. This technique should be further explored and utilized for in the future machine might take a larger role in producing creative works.
Conclusion
The result is a mesmerizing painting steps in the mood and tone of the given text directive showing green particles emitting off trees along with Thai style temple. This technique proves machines can be used to assist how humans can creatively explore ideas. In the future, the author believes computers will have a greater impact to art making process.

People have several characteristics within ourselves which change accordingly to situations around us; to state of mind, emotions, and feelings. Some characteristics are pleasing, but some are not agreeable to oneself, neither to others. Being open-minded to embrace our characteristics and ourselves is good.
Self-acceptance and looking at ourselves without biases are to look for both positive and negative points, understand your present feelings and thoughts, and accept the way it is without resistance.
A person who can accept oneself must respect oneself and one’s uniqueness. However, we have to be ready for changes, think positive, and evolve for better without completely changing who we are after social pressure. It will be beneficial for us if we can accept ourselves as the way we are.
It makes us want to improve ourselves at all times, make life better in our ways. If we can accept our good and bad points, we will be able to identify, understand our errors, and know how to adjust them. As a result, we will always be ready to change for better.
Conclusion
Therefore, artists create works to convey their thought via digital artworks using 3D model technique which reflect diversities of humans’ characteristics. It is for people to understand one’s characteristics, accept their positives and negative points, learn from them, improve oneself, and live a happy life.

What kind of person am I? The human, they have a variety of personality traits our selves are constantly changing and flowing depending on the time, situation and the people you meet each time. Sometimes we are being watched by others or we may be watching others that some characters and behaviors are the same as the characters playing one role and changing to another. Of course, behaviors that has a huge influence on us in our lives whether by myself or living with people in society although we know ourselves better than anyone else in the world but the picture is very clear must rely on the perspective that we see ourselves and other people’s views of our personality inevitably come together and in some of our habits Others may see more clearly than we see ourselves.
In this experimental motion graphics work the artist was inspired by performing. The Chinese opera mask changing show which this show performer can switch between numerous masks in a fraction of a second rely on situation and mood of that moment. It reminds us of the diversity of our personality traits that change continuously according to time and situation.
From this inspiration, The creators refer to the personality traits of the characters in The Chinese opera mask changing show was combine and create works of art in the form of digital art using 3D modeling creation techniques and motion graphics to represent the picture the change of character that keeps changing, which means diversity of human traits.
Conclusion
This work of art represents character changes that can indicate a variety of different character traits. By referring to the characters in the Chinese face mask which is compared to human habits that can change over time it’s like changing from one character to another by time, situation and person influence change. Sometimes we are unable to understand our true self what kind of person we are. Understanding and knowing yourself in its entirety may inevitably depend on others because sometimes our identity is reflected by what others see. and how we interact with others. when trying to look back at what other people think of us may allow us to see ourselves more clearly and able to live with oneself and the people in society more.

This history of animation extends far beyond the history of film, as early animators throughout the centuries found ways to create movies without cameras or recording technology. As a present Animator making a good shot of Animation always be a good way to show the knowledge that we learn from the past.
The purpose of “Eternal silhouette fight” project is to create a loop animation fight shot by using knowledge of principle Animation. To demonstrate an animation technique, this project will use a base color to show a clear silhouette of 3D model and using a complementary color with both side to show difference between two characters. The color will change every time they hit each other to show the beat and rhythm of Animation.
The process of making this project is start with finding an idea of making a fight shot. Youtube and Vimeo are top choice to find an idea. After that the process of pre-production will start by drawing a thumbnail to clear an idea that we got from research. Then use a camera to shoot myself acting. This will create a clear reference for Animation.
After that the production process will start. I use Maya program(3D animation program) to create a loop shot. Stared with blocking a key pose of Animation., this process will push a clear silhouette pose of character Then adding a breakdown pose to make a clear beat and rhythm of Animation. When every thing ready, I start to polish the shot to make a good Animation. Finish it with make an Animation to a loop Animation.
The last part is matching a complementary color to both characters. This will show a clear silhouette pose and make both character different to each other. Then change color every time they hit each other. This will make a clearer beat and rhythm of Animation.
Finally, I hope this project can inspire other animator and other people. As an artist, I willing to show my work as much as I can. I believe that inspired by other people work and inspiring other people by your own work are the main objective of being an artist.
Conclusion
“Eternal silhouette fight” is a project that show my skill as an Animator. To inspire and be inspired should be the purpose and result of this entire project.

Easily accessible to investors have a whimsy can earn a lot And it is important that the market allows investors to achieve financial success quickly within a short period of time. Due to the exponential growth of the cryptocurrency market Investors therefore have the opportunity to make money from the price difference many times. Still, the market is subject to severe price volatility. Thus, at the same time, there are both profitable and large losses.
The designer is one who is interested in investing in the cryptocurrency market. According to studies and self-investing in a short period of time, it is a high-risk investment due to the high volatility of the market. The market sentiment is always moving with the news. both economically and politically causing investors to constantly follow the news. The designers saw the importance of such issues. Thus came the idea to convey the emotion of investing in the cryptocurrency market as a work of art. It is conveyed as a work of animation that combines vector animation techniques and particle techniques. To convey the mood of investing in the cryptocurrency market with great risk and volatility. make the audience aware and know how to plan your investments consciously.
A lot has been said about COVID-19’s impact on mental. that rates of depression, stress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress have risen significantly in the last year.
While we have not yet recovered, some places are slowly recuperating their lost freedom, and others are still finding their way forward. We have all been affected by the pandemic. We have suffered losses in this exhausting process: from loved ones, to jobs, to our own health, opportunities, connection. And we are still mourning and longing for our losses.
My work use the theory both warm and cool colors, free form shape and sound Nature you can hear wind, air, sound of running water. All of this element will connect feelings. You can be imaginations good or bad way. when you watch the video. You can searching. Components of emotion. When we are faced with a situation, our emotions activate our thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs about what is happening. This way they influence how we perceive and interpret this situation, which ultimately determines how we will act. If you have one chance the only time to make a decision. One instant will define the definition of our life. A blink, a stare, a deep metaphorical moment blessing the union of our souls. We are surrounded by strangers crowding the forces that unite our intellect. To connect is the ultimate symbol of disconnect. A lifetime is but the true enlightenment of the complete soul. Life begins with the moment of period of test.
Body and mind as one in rhythm with heart. When we can manage our emotions, we respond more effectively to any given situation vs. responding instinctively in a fight, flight, or freeze mode. COVID-19 has been emotionally devastating for many of us. It has put us to the test.
Conclusion
So as the COVID-19 pandemic has stretched around the world, it’s sparked a crop of diary entries and essays that describe how life has changed. Novelists, critics, artists, and journalists have put words to the feelings many are experiencing. The result how we’ll someday remember this time, filled with uncertainty and pain and fear as well as small moments of hope and humanity.
I recorded the emotional moment feeling through this project ” Rhythm with heart.” When you finished watching my work.and then close your eyes and let your imagination lead you.
Objectives Aims or Purposes
To research develop the process and apply the knowledge gained from research to develop concepts. The concept of felt during the COVID-19 incident the world is grappling with an invisible, deadly enemy, trying to understand how to live with the threat posed by a virus. For some artist, the only way forward is to put idea create art, trying to conceptualize . What it feels like to continue living. Circumstances lead us to experience emotions. Each emotion is associated with a specific hormone, example fear to adrenaline, happiness to dopamine, etc. The hormones effect specific changes in body function, depending on their purpose. Adrenaline makes your heart race, your muscles activate. We physically feel these changes in body function, which is the reason we call them feelings. So I would say that emotions create feelings, Exposure to extreme and new realities such as those imposed by the current global crisis?

Redesign the condom package to collectible consumer product
Mr. Suttichart Sarapaiwanich
Introduction
Condom’s a protection product to reduce the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection between sexual intercourse. (Condom – Wikipedia, 2022) The ideal concept of the condom’s the everyday product for everyone to use to prevent themselves from every act of intercourse when they’re at the proper ages but the problems of condom usage in Thailand are from many causes. One of the problems that reduce the usage of condoms is the embarrassment of a customer when they check out at the cashier. The reason for embarrassment come from the social value in Thailand that makes the sexual intercourse be a secret activity that started from the fundamental education. This redesign of the condom package project is from Thailand AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) trying to make the condom turn into an everyday product that everyone can buy like any consumer product in Thailand.
The research and self-observation found that the design of condom packages in Thailand make condoms look like a serious medical product that made a customer feel like they are sick and the social value also interprets to everyone that they will be going to have intercourse soon. So the redesign direction tries to focus on the teenager that is the main target group of condoms and this might change the social value in the future.
The selected concept is the comic illustration that attracts familiar to teenagers. The new design creates the condom package to be a box with a teenage character in comic style. The various character designs also aim to make the package to be a collectible card that can exchange between collectors to reduce waste problems and possibly be a business model by collaboration with the artists or celebrities.
After the condom giveaway event to test the new concept design package by AHF Thailand, the feedback from people is positive, and feel comfortable with this new package condom.
Conclusion
The new design direction of condom packages that attract teenagers as the main target group of condom usage by the comic illustration and collectible concept tested with people in International Condom Day 2022 has been shown that the proper design can change the perception of condoms from medical equipment for a specific occasion that made a customer feel embarrassing when buying into an everyday consumer product that everyone feels comfortable to buy for their safety to unwanted pregnancy or reduce a sexually transmitted infection. This design is also possible to turn to be a business model by the collectible concept that aims to collaborate with artists and celebrities.
Objectives Aims or Purposes
1. Redesign the condom package to change the perception from medical equipment to consumer products. 2. Design the attractive concept for the teenager that is the main focus group of condom product. 3. Adding the collectible value is a possible business model.
Process or Methods
Nowadays almost all condom package designs in Thailand made them look like medical products or luxury equipment (A Guide to Buying Condoms in Thailand — Sizes, Brands, Prices, and Stores – Condom sizes, 2022) combined with the social value of sexual intercourse made many Thai people feel embarrassing to buy a condom when they check out at the cashier. Interviews and focus group discussions with students indicated that many might not dare to buy condoms because they feel embarrassed to do so under the gaze of community members. (Boonmongkon et al., 2019)
The direction of the new concept design try to focus on the main target group of condoms which is a teenager (age group 15 to 24 years). (Condom Social Marketing: Selected Case Studies, 2022) The selected common advertising strategies to attract teenagers are
The second direction changed to use comic-style characters to attract the focus group by creating various teen characters and adding the collectible value to the package for a possibility to be a business model by collaborating concepts with artists and celebrities. This design added the word “LOVE” from the AHS product “LOVE Condom” with the combination of colorful colors for more attractiveness. The other sides of each design added the other characters in the same series to inform the other character design for the customer to collect them all.
The condom with a new concept was selected from the second design distributed by AHS Thailand to giveaway to people in various areas on the International Condom Day (13 February 2022) and received positive feedback and changed the perception of condom packages from medical equipment to consumer product. (AHF Thailand Official Youtube Channel)

Techniques and materials
Areas of Creative Works: This package design was created by craft and the digital process started with hand-drawn illustration before scanning and coloring by image editor application (Adobe Photoshop) and finishing the artwork in graphic editor application (Adobe Illustration).
The character design was created by separating all face parts to randomize characters. All parts emphasize by various different gender, lifestyles, ethnicity, fashion, and gadgets for a variety of results. All combined character randomizations were selected to focus on the teenager as a target group of this project.
The package print test on the paper was similar to the condom package in the market for given to the focus group and received feedback before adjusting the design to the final artwork for AHS Thailand that selected both design directions to use in this project.
