The Color Purple documents the traumas and gradual triumph of Celie, an African American teenager raised in rural isolation in Georgia, as she comes to resist the paralyzing self-concept forced on her by others. Celie narrates her life through painfully honest letters to God.

Throughout The Color Purple, Walker portrays female friendships as a means for women to summon the courage to tell stories. In turn, these stories allow women to resist oppression and dominance. Relationships among women form a refuge, providing reciprocal love in a world filled with male violence.

It wasn't until 1967 that Mattel, the company that manufactures Barbie, made its first dark-skinned doll. Her name was Francie

luxianglin0 — 2023-10-03 18:04:52 UTC

The Christie doll is widely considered the first true African American doll in the Barbie line. She was introduced in the midst of the civil rights movement, when critics chided Mattel for failing to represent the diversity in America.

The second version uses colored pencils instead, and the effect is more delicate and has a dreamy feel. Used Apple Chancery font as the name of this book.

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 14:17:10 UTC

I drew two separated hands, with a product label hanging on one hand and a chain on the other hand, symbolizing the separation of the girl from her friends, expressing the bad impact of human trafficking and arousing people's sympathy.

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 14:26:01 UTC

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 14:26:53 UTC

For women and children, human trafficking is even more dangerous.

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 17:10:30 UTC

The professor's lectures have many interesting design methods and are very easy to understand. Gives me a lot of useful ideas for where my inspiration comes from when making covers.

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 17:16:09 UTC

After listening to the lecture, I went to the University of Birmingham to see many cover designs. Some of the covers were very cute and lively, with various fonts.

This is an immersive exhibition. There are many huge screens in the room displaying dynamic paintings. These paintings were created using procreate. The colors are bright and it is very enjoyable.I shot a lot of videos.

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 17:35:11 UTC

luxianglin0 — 2023-12-12 17:38:46 UTC

I like this exhibition very much. There are many interesting and cute animal and character patterns, full of childlike colors. And the small badges are also very collectible.

V&A Museum also has many large-scale European retro-style toys and scenes in the museum, which the audience can interact with. The interactivity is very good, not only suitable for children, but also a great experience for other people.

There are a total of six large-scale installations made of plants, which create a great atmosphere at night.

At first I thought this was a strange place. There are several interactive devices in the middle area. You can wear headphones to watch the screen, but you have to lie down. The video on the screen looks illogical, with a slight sense of absurdism and abstract horror.
