This is the poster and animation design I created for the annual 4-day hackathon organized by the Digital Media department.
As a digital media student, I believe our visuals should be current, striking, and push technology to its aesthetic limits. That's why I wanted to create something bold in Unreal Engine — a medium that felt right for the subject.
The future of technology is something I constantly question. Is it a utopia or a dystopia? I live with that uncertainty, and I wanted that ambiguity to live inside this piece too — a dark, heavy atmosphere, but told with humor. Because underneath all of it, the truth is simple: we are still here, students, grinding morning to night.
I built a MetaHuman version of myself and placed her at the center of it. Surviving on apples and bananas. Time blurring between day and night. It's dystopian — but it's also just kind of accurate.
