Visual Expression
in this assignment i am making an artwork with topic i choose and show my emotion about the topic.my topic is piracy and government.there is some issues that Malaysia government blocking some sharing site because of piracy.about this issues i say it is a good move by government,so music,film and other artist still can get money to continue their work.some people say no matter how government block,there is always another way to get a copy of product.its true but i belive that government can deal with it.so my emotion is calm.
What is piracy?
Piracy is the unauthorized reproduction or use of a copyrighted book,recording, television program, patented invention,trademarked product.Some people choose to use piracy because its giving them more advantage,such as easy to get,just download and didnt need to pay or using credit card,and didnt need to worry about hacker that can view username and password for your online bank transaction.most user that use pirate product because they cant get the product,usually it is because the product doesnt arrive yet to their country and it will take a long time to wait for the product to arrive.
Research
"Half-staff" or "Half-mast" flag is a symbol of respect,mourning or distress for a respectable person when they die.
I choose this topic and this is my mind map.
Piracy is happening under the radar.Musician,and people who work at film,software and game developer hate piracy.But hacker grow fast in the dark,people never know how they work to pirating every music,software,film and game.Malaysia government trying to stop piracy by block file sharing website.Most people keep talking about it.also when i go to restaurant i hear some people talk about this topic.so i take this topic.there are many people that didn't like the decision of block sharing file website.
This is a website that write about Malaysia Government Block File Sharing Website :

Artist Statement & artwork treatment
I am using adobe illustrator to make the pirate logo and using 3ds max to get waving flag effect and photoshop to adjust color and brightness.I do my artwork digitally.The "half-mast" flag of pirates shown that piracy start dying slowly as government start to take action to defeat piracy.i do most of the work in 3ds max just to get the waving flag effect.because its hard to do it in ps since i need to get the right shadow effect and i didnt know how to do it in ps.black color show that piracy is bad.in this artwork the flag not in the top of the pole its show piracy no longer there.
