London Underground is used everyday by many of us, but we are not aware how it could affect us internally. Although Underground dust is not as harmful as smoking cigarettes but London Underground has never warn the users on the level of pollution in the Underground. Unlike Japan who established this vital information and be truthful to their users. <img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5204221/cigarette tube poster.jpg" width="670" height="486" width_o="2048" height_o="1485" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5204221/cigarette tube poster_o.jpg" data-mid="27998955" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5204221/tube cigarette1edit.jpg" width="670" height="947" width_o="2048" height_o="2896" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5204221/tube cigarette1edit_o.jpg" data-mid="27998998" border="0" align="left"/> Based on a research by Dr Ben Croxford in University College of London, it was estimated that a person who spend 20 minutes in the London Underground is equivalent... http://finytjong.co.uk/Plastic-Surgery http://finytjong.co.uk/following/finytjong.co.uk/Plastic-Surgery Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:15:43 +0000 Finy Tjong 5203681 Korea, You're Beautiful is a campaign about plastic surgery in Korea. More and more teenagers in Korea are getting face plastic surgery, this is because getting a plastic surgery done is as easy as going to a hair salon. Through my research, I found out that it is a trend for parents to give plastic surgery as a gift to their children when they turn 21. It seems very absurd as through speaking with my Korean friend, it seems that Koreans are very traditional. Her family for example, she was not allowed to get her ear pierced and at whatever age she is, she will have to ask permission in everything she does to her body because her parents believe that her body is their body. From this research, I created a campaign which is directed to Korean society. Demonstrating plastic surgery in a form of gifts in order to highlight the absurdity. <img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged 1.jpg" width="670" height="948" width_o="2048" height_o="2897" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged 1_o.jpg" data-mid="28994236" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged 3.jpg" width="670" height="948" width_o="2048" height_o="2897" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged 3_o.jpg" data-mid="28994745" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged.jpg" width="670" height="948" width_o="2048" height_o="2897" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged_o.jpg" data-mid="28994313" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged 2.jpg" width="670" height="948" width_o="2048" height_o="2897" src_o="http://payload145.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/5203681/layout finishing dragged 2_o.jpg" data-mid="28994715" border="0" align="left"/> Korea, You're Beautiful is a campaign about plastic surgery in Korea.

It is considered that every time we blink, a 'mini blackouts' is formed. Although this mini blackouts does not interupt our views of the world but if it adds up, we loss quite a lot of information in a day, month and year. Experimentation 1: 3 blinking calendars were made based on a flipbook format. 30 or 31 (days in a month) alternating black and white papers were compiled to produce a calendar. The total minutes lost in that calendar month were revealed as the calendar is flipped from back to front. <img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/2878071/Picture 15.png" width="670" height="315" width_o="1195" height_o="563" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/2878071/Picture 15_o.png" data-mid="14630097" border="0" align="left"/> Experimentation 2: Using one part of a famous speech - Martin Luther King, "I Have A Dream", the loss of information through blinking were illustrated by crossing out words when reading the speech. <img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/2878071/Picture 16.png" width="670" height="466" width_o="916" height_o="638" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/2878071/Picture 16_o.png" data-mid="14630099" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/2878071/Picture 17.png" width="670" height="339" width_o="1189" height_o="602" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/6/206848/2878071/Picture 17_o.png" data-mid="14630101" border="0" align="left"/> An audio was produced from Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech.
