Losing A Loved One Poem

Losing A Loved One Poem

A collaboration with Tasnim Nazeer

An Introduction to "Losing A Loved One" Author - Tasnim Nazeer

I was approached by Tasnim Nazeer during the early days of GBMP project and wasn't expecting someone of her calibre to contact me. She is a free-lance journalist and writes for CNN, Al Jazeera and Huffington Post, and was also shortlisted for Asian Women of Achievement in Media 2012.

Tasnim contacted me and wanted a visual representation of a poem she wrote. She wanted something that would be visually attractive/beautiful to sustain the audience's attention. She gave me the freedom to be creative.

Losing A Loved One Design

For, Losing A Loved One, I wanted to create the feeling that the viewer would be travelling on a journey. I initially thought of using a line (timeline) and have animations coming in from that, I then thought there's only so much you can do with a line going across a page, so that went out of the window!

So I decided to go with the feature of having images animate as the words come in, while also having it moving a way from the viewer. I felt this was an ideal way the viewer could see events unfold while feel like they're on a journey and in between have Qur'an verses recited. This added that uniquenss and emphasis on the message Tasnim and I wanted to get across.
