Final work


This book is a novel written by Yann Martel. This is one of the novels I read interestingly. The novel is about how the main character survived the animals and lifeboats. In the ending, when the main character talked about his survival, he said that it was true that humans, not animals, fought and killed each other to survive.

I tried to express in this work that it was not clear whether it was humans or animals who made unrealistic journeys with the main character, Pi.

Because of this, the main characters were expressed in shadows. The figures of the shadows were represented by the animals as zebras, orangutans, hyenas and tigers, but in fact wanted to show that these might not be animals.

  1. Your commentary here is descriptive and lacks the critical commentary and analysis needed in reflective practice. You should critically look at your work and identify what has worked, what hasn't and how you would improve it. Your design is quite similar to the book cover already shown on your previous post, so could you have been more conceptual in your approach?
