碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 視覺傳達設計學系 === 102 === The so-called “BOMB”Generation refers to a generation in which there is a huge gap between rich and poor, and the majority of young people are unaffordable to meet the living requirements of their parents and children, resulting in the collapse of a whole generation. Living in this macro environment of everything up except salary, the author has a strong feeling on the phenomenon of being unable to receive corresponding return value from invested serious work efforts. Therefore, the author intends to adopt a form of digital illustration creation and use the “mechanical body” concept characterizing current rigid lifestyle to construct a visual style of virtual world. Through this illustration creation presented with a humorous approach the author in this study plans to create a virtual relieving environment for pals in the collapse generation, so as to allow them obtain a brief emotional relief or transformation from the helpless frustration and anger resulted from not being able to change current status, and then further to reflect on how to, first through contributing one’s own efforts, consolidate small strengths from every corners into a big strength to jointly break through the current situation and dilemma of collapse generation. And this study has adopted the presentation practice of “old things, new experiences” prevailing in cultural creation related industries of recent years, the selected content is adapted from the famous story of Chinese myth “Goddess Nv Wa Mending the Sky” very suitable to satirize and describe the fate and frustration of street citizens living in this collapse generation. This study is presented with techniques and approaches of digital illustration, its content creation adopts a form of adapted myth, and the main purpose is trying to interpret the present situation and look into future prospect of the collapse generation. Quoting the classic line “Life will find its way out!” in the movie directed by Steven Spielberg in 1993, adapted from and with the same title of Michael Clayton’s novel “Jurassic Park” published in 1990, the author intends to mutually encourage with people from all circles in this collapse generation, and believes that, despite how difficult and rugged the environment, as long as we can uphold firm belief, and don’t care whether successful or not, we will surely can find our own way out!
