Writing Initiative #1

When I research the definition of trammel, animal circus is one of the topics that I can feel connected to the word. It makes me think of wild animals are chained in cages, and they lack freedom. I think print media can be used as an ad of circus animal cruelty awareness to reflect the word trammel.

I want to explore the materials that give the fear of touch and warn people about the danger. The metal wire mesh can be one of the options, its sharp edges make people avoid them, and the surfaces compose of woven or diamond shapes, which reminds me of the fishnet, another object reflects trammel.

Writing Initiative #2

There weren't much feedback regarding strengths and weaknesses on my work; however, the image of lion had a clown makeup on its face that reflected strongly of wild animals are being amused. The poster was very simple, and the theme was supported by using wire mesh to state the animals were being trammelled. I believe the weakness is the connection of concept to the audience. There was not much discussion about it, which could be explained that the peers did not feel the poster of circus animal and metal wire mesh could define clearly of trammel. Regarding the idea and engagement of design, I should think outside of the box and try to push it further.

There was a suggestion of looking to the information of Trump wanted to seal the border and expel all the illegal immigrants in America, which could be helpful for a new design direction. Although there is not much clear conceptual design at this time, the more I research, I realize none of the positive information has been found. This makes me jump to the thought of Seven Deadly Sins. I believed this theme could be somehow related to trammel, but if I engage this concept in my assignments, it should be in a reflective piece to reflect the negative acts of humanity.

2D Assignment

I was inspired by the Animals are not clowns, a circus animal cruelty awareness ad campaigns of LDPA. The idea against the entraining image of circus posters that usually show. A clown face is put on an animal to educate the public about the unhappy wild animals and put an end to travelling animal circuses. Wire mesh will be added as another material covers on poster’s surface, suggesting the sense of being trammelled of circus animals.

Circuses: No Fun for Animals

Animal welfare organizations recorded many cases of animal atrocities while training circus animals. According to PETA, an animal rights organization declared circus animals are often harassed, and physical abuse has always been a way to train wild animals. Animal Welfare Act (AWA) does not allow any form of punishment that may cause animals are injured and regulates the treatment of animals in research and exhibition. However, the trainers still violate the law and use wild animals to make money and entertain people. Living in a big name is a stressful and painful experience for animals.

The behaviour of wild animals perpetuates animals abuse, inhuman care and distorted wildlife pictures. Ringing Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, an American travelling circus company claimed to support actively wild animals. However, animals in the circus “are routinely subjected to months on the road confined in small, barren cages.” [1] Additionally, “[t]hese animals often live in filthy and dilapidated enclosures or are chained in one position for the majority of the day.” [2]

Their living condition is poor, significantly, it is not a natural act for wild animals are chained and exist for human entertainment. Circus animals make outdated wildlife attitude permanent for animals’ happiness. Like Elisa Allen, the director of PETA said: “Captivity is a living hell for animals such as tigers and lions, and a circus environment can’t possibly meet their complex needs.” [3]
