It's Nice That - Humour in the Creative Industries

 Min Heo 



- random ideas fleshed into comics 

- best ideas come from small seed of idea and zoning out and questioning things 

- repetition and iteration of the same idea over and over until it becomes fully formed 

- taking time to observe life until it forms a story 


- what would I find funny on instagram? 

- instagram has been very beneficial despite its cons and having to fit work to that eg. make work that works with shorter attention spans of viewers 

- how do you balance between personal and work?

> always post once a week on instagram 


Blink Industries - Charlie Perkins 




- Been involved in lots of different areas within comedy to understand all perspectives and what she likes and doesn't 

- Hug me I'm scared: doesn't come from expected comedy, fills the hole of what's needed in British comedy, which typically goes for ideas that worked and were successful and so are repeated 

- it's distinctive and different, through comedy and aesthetic, keeps it original 

- Doesn't conform to anything that's been seen, its take on the world is unique

- Working something which you know a specific group of people will love rather than lots will be entertained by is appealing 

- light and darkness is needed in comedy, to reflect life from different angles, unearth things you wouldn't think of before 

- Experience of comedy versus crafting of comedy: Taking comedy serious and committing to the joke/tone, labour of something into a work or piece shows to the audience 

- With comedy you can get to the point quite quickly, can make dramatic moments more powerful, and can make you question 

- Three forms of humour 

1 Relief 

2 Superiority (laughing at others misfortune) 

3 Incongruity (surreal or absurd, challenging expectations)

 To Complete Website: > Name Love.jpeg created into artwork for starting page  > Lydia Article  > Joely Article  LYDIA + JOELY COLLAGE PIECES FOR ARTICLES  So - During lockdown 0.1, I found myself happily single and most definitely enjoying a little bit of me time… I was adamant that nobody was going to distract me from this intense period of isolation. One day I decided to go on a walk round the park (by myself of course). All of a sudden I find myself bumping into an old family friend’s son. This is someone who I have fancied since I was a kid, and admired from a far… We got chatting and ended up having a socially distance convo for about half an hour. FYI - I knew this person had a GF… When I got home and checked my phone, he had slid into my DMs and we started texting. One thing lead to another - he ended up confessing he’s been in love with me for years, he split up with his girlfriend the next day and we also got a private apartment in town where ...

Identity EVALUATION

Alike to GAIA EXRTH, it was disappointing not being able to complete the brief within the timescale set out. I recognise that I like working a lot on passion projects and pushing them further and further, to the point that perhaps the goals I set are unrealistic or I spend too long on one level/area of the project. In this case this was a research brief and I set out to spend a lot of time doing research and testing ideas. I found this a more difficult brief to do within the covid landscape and felt less inspired, as I wanted to go out into the world and look at things, ask people, visit places and so on. This meant this project took a back seat and by the end of the year revisiting it so late on meant there was no time to fulfil the visions I had for the project. It's exciting however to have so many projects I'm interested in to be continuing after uni as it means I can keep the momentum up of designing and producing more ideas and more work. The overall concept of this inter...
