CHOPCHOP sketches

Week 3
sem 1
"Chop Chop" 

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, chop chop? Well the most general would be 'time'. To hurry it up or complete something quickly. For me time was indeed running out as a fact, designers deadlines are really very important.

Here i have made a mindmap on basic definitions or phrases whereby "Chop Chop" can be used. For example, chopping bananas, a stamp, manslaughter.. etc. (:

This is an initial idea where i try to seperate or split faces into different directions to represent the many lives of a single person.

Stamp, chopchop on papers

These top two farely rough sketches i had put up have a knife involved, the first on the left is of a hand and the knife cutting through a fruit. This type of idea is where i would start going out of the box and add unicorns and things, from the basics to the extraordinary. 

On the left is a butcher knife where i used the same concept of splitting the knife in different directions. The irony.

..and finally i drew up the most common of what anyone would have thought of, a timepiece.

But this is no ordinary time piece, the falling numbers represent how time is running out and less hours, minutes, seconds are being posed.
