The document outlines a mythology concept involving a college student with a dark inner demon. The student's present self is studying graphic design and works as a sushi chef. His family is from China but he was born and raised in Panama. In the future, he envisions working for major brands. His inner demon represents negative emotions from his past and was sealed inside him like the Monkey King from Journey to the West. The concept explores the student trying to control the demon taking over.

5. Concept
A college student who has a dark inner side demon
living inside him waiting to come out, but he does not
know until series of event happens frequently at work,
school and home.
Eventually he tries to control and fight against his inner
dark side demon but the demon is strong and
overpower and takes control of his good side.
The dark inner side is a demon created by all negative
emotions collected in the past.
6. Concept
The now element represent a humble college student
who is studying graphic and working as a part time
sushi chef in a small restaurant in the middle of the city.
The cultural element would be the Yin Yang, which
represents the balance between good and evil.
Also, as you know my favorite mythology character is
Sun Wu Kong (Monkey King) and this concept mostly
resemble to his characteristic and story.
7. Concept
As the story goes Sun Wu Kong is a monkey born in a
magic stone and have super magical powers from
heaven and earth god, however Sun Wu Kong has a
wild/crazy side and he did not obey the god orders, he
was sealed inside a mountain by Buddha.
With the concept of Sun Wu Kong sealed inside the
mountain, I want to corporate into my mythology
concept where in this case the dark inner side is sealed
inside and trying to take control of Mike.
8. Concept
One of the reason I choose the elements is because I
deal with emotions all the time when I was a kid and I
just want to portrait the positive emotions as a humble
student which I’m now and the negative emotion as the
inner dark side demon which I have experienced with
bulling, disappointment and unhappy thoughts when I
was a kid.
