JOYstick

Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:

What gives teenage boys more pleasure than video games, sex, and bad jokes? Good question, I don't know either. I created my piece to make people laugh a little bit - hey look, laughter is another form of pleasure.

What kind of communication approach do you use?

I utilized visual metaphor in the creation of my image.

What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?

I think my communication adds a little humor to the society. Who doesn't need a good laugh sometimes?

What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?

I had to do a lot of research on what drives pleasure, how pleasure affects us as humans, and how pleasure can be represented visually.

Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?

I think my work is good communication work because it's simple, but has another layer beyond what you see. In order to get the joke, you have to understand the 'joystick' metaphor.

Where and how do you intent do implement your work?

This submission was part of a school assignment, so it has already been implemented there.

Did your intervention had an effect on other Media. If yes, describe the effect? (Has other media reported on it- how? Were you able to change other media with your work- how?)

I don't know if I would say my intervention had that much of an important impact.
