The group project for today was to design a birdhouse, which could be anything based on the artist’s preference. My task was to research the significance of birds and what they stand for as we came together to brainstorm methods to promote the birdhouse. After doing some study, I came up with some viable concepts. The first one was to create a bird that enters someone’s home carrying a suitcase because the bird stands for wanting to be with someone rather than being alone.
They stand for many things, according to Clinton Atkins, including freedom, grace, love, strength, longevity, eternity, happiness, and love. Depending on the culture and religion, different birds have different symbolism. Even having a dream involving birds has significance. Indeed, birds have a significant impact on how people perceive the world. This demonstrates the significance of birds in a person’s life.(Clinton Atkins and George Dukes, Thayer Birding, 2 January 2023.)Everyone needs a friend they can talk to or turn to for assistance in times of need, especially those who have felt abandoned because of the coldness of those around them.
This could be taken further as the promotion branding for the birdhouse and using emotional designs to interest the user.
