Entry #10: The Far Harsh Frozen Land

Image
      Freijord isn't a friendly place at all, so the great welcome is not really something that you, my dear travelers, should wait for from the Harsh Frozen Land. But we already are pretty experienced explorers, aren't we? So let's take a closer look at one of the most desert places of the  Freijord . Welcome to the Howling Abyss. image source     Starting from the probably most atmospheric moment of our excursion, let's stand for the second on this gorgeous bridge, and listen.  This place is named a Howling Abyss not only for the catchphrase, here, below our feet, is a really deep abyss, that deep that it literally howls as the wind blows. The god-blacksmith Ornn  bound the bridge by request of the three legendary sisters,  Avarosa, Serylda, and Lissandra , to fight the alliances, also known as Watchers . After the creature's defeat and laying somewhere on the bottom of the abyss, Lissandra created a magic seal on the bridge, turning ...

Entry #9: Topics in Food Quest

Image
    For  the task at hand, I chose these two pictures for two simple reasons: The interesting design and references in them, and the humor. image source image source So, moving from general to specific, the purpose of these illustrations is to show viewers a daily routine of their fast lunches in a kind of comic wrapper. Firstly, to catch attention the pictures use a Pop art style, which isn't as famous right now as it was some time ago, so, according to the rule "Everything new is good forgotten old", this design looks fresh and easily takes on itself the bored people eyes by the colorful palette and charming simplified line-art. The reference in this design is partially connected with the second reason, but anyway, the picture with the robot had a reference to the world-famous phrase from "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, but here the question is surely not about some high meanings as death and life, more like just about the regular bargaining with co...

          Ad astra abyssosque * , d ear universe travelers. Today we arrive at  Mondstadt , the city of freedom and wine. But today we will not just observe the beauties of local architecture and history, we have a special guest for this trip. Looking ahead, don't dare you to misjudge some eared little creature, who we could see around the tavern Cat's Tail ! With 99% confidence, I can tell you, that you will not wanna mess with this young lady from the  Kätzlein Bloodline family. So let's be nice, and let me introduce to you Diona, the much-esteemed bartender of the Cat's Tail and Mondstadt 's wine industry slayer. image source          If you ever went to the Cat's Tail tavern, the first that meets you here will be the irritated face of the eared bartender with a cocktail shaker in her paws. Don't think that Diona got this job only because she is the perfect mascot of the tavern theme. She is been blessed, or, as Dion...

Entry #7: Fresh

Image
      I think  will not be a revelation for anyone what film "Fresh" lefts after itself the unclear feeling. There is not only a fact that film shows viewers a different new side of so regular things for everyone as food. There is also how it does that.     Taking as the easiest example is the  way the creators show the difference in the attitude of manufacturers towards their product through video and audio accompaniment. Firstly film shows the regular for right now way of growing chickens, when they are living isolated from any other animals, and as a result, they need to include antibiotics in their food, to deal with infections and get normal immunity. Regularly, in the way things used to be chickens receive this immunity from childhood, interacting with different crops and animals around, but because of this isolation, producers are forced to resort to chemistry to maintain the quality and quantity of the products they need. All of this has been f...
