PROJECT 1 - SELF-PORTRAIT


~ Recap in Project 1 ~

Based on the briefing, I need to apply the design principles that I learned from the previous week (weeks 1-2)

Things to do and things before creating:

Suggested 

- Mind map about 'Who am I?'

(Who am I? What are my hobbies? My favorite thing? Personality? and more...)

Requirements

- Think about life experiences

- Explore (record down) your surroundings. 

Exp: family, friends, favorite, plant, building, and so on


After having the elements above, I start my self-portrait.


 About Me... 

Figure 1.1

Some Moments...

 My Design Progress 

Visual References 

Figure 2.1

*This picture gives me an idea of how the stick man can move.

Idea Exploration

Figure 3.1

Firstly, when I finish the mind map (Who am I?), I want to portray my lazy moment. The sketch above presented my emotion when I was too lazy to move. The element used in this sketch is emphasis. my big face is the focal point.


Figure 3.2

Looking back at the mind map. Although I have different personalities and similar hobbies, I'm just a normal person who has the same facial features as others. 

Figure 3.3

This is the design of the second picture. I kindly made it drawn on paper.

Figure 3.4

After the lecture feedback. I try to use two colors (black and white) to show that I'm just one of them. I am the one in the middle. As you see the middle one has the biggest size with a face on it. Emphasis is used in this design.

Final Outcome 

Figure 4.1

Same to the design above the design element used in this design is emphasis. This design aims to show that although I am not very outstanding in public, I'm still the unique one in my life. The green line is the scanner. It scans through me and shows out what am I. The picture around me is my hobbies, and the smiley face represents that I am an active person.

Feedback 
Interesting. Suggest playing with the figure-ground. Almost there.

Reflections 
This project, makes me think deeply about myself. I have many faces in my daily. Angry, happy, lazy, active, sad, emo, and more. But as I look down the city or have a moment of traffic jam. I realize that I'm just one of them, we have the same facial features, similar hobbies, personalities, and daily. Although we live in different places and have different life experiences, we still live on the same planet and breathe the same air. Maybe I'm a nobody to you, but I'm still unique in my life. The self-portrait is to show yourself. What do you like in real life?

Two tigers are positioned on opposite sides, locked in a captivating gaze, poised for battle at a moment's notice. The letter 'M' represents the sun. It was also the judge of this war. M= Maybank. The poster's composition, setting, and colors draw inspiration from the rich tapestry of Greek mythology.

I often apply Miller’s Law when I encounter words I don't know how to spell or complex words by breaking them into chunks to read and remember. For example: Unbelievable ( un - believe - able ) Week 4 Week 5 Tips for constructive workflow : 1. Understand the Question Clearly define what you are designing and its purpose. 2. Construct a Strategic Plan Gather data, analyze pros and cons, study case studies, and understand the workflow before proceeding. 3. Fill in the Blank Keep track of your progress by organizing, grouping, and labeling your work. 4. Get Some Inspiration and Ideas Explore references and insights to improve your design. 5.
