Quick Links
Week 2 :
Today don't have any class because of the National Holiday. Mr Charles
post the lecture on Microsoft team so we can learn from the video. To make sure I am definitely understand it , I went to website and my
album, try to analyse if the pictures had follow the principles I had
learnt.
Balance & Emphasis
Balance
-Symmetrical Balance (like mirror image)
I use sketchbook to sketch a Christmas tree with a star both are in
symmetrical balance

The Golden Ratio

| Photos follow the rule of golden ratio |
rule of thirds : composition guideline to create more dynamism to a work.
These were the pictures took before and I think these photos are
also follow the rule of thirds.
Photos follow rule of thirds
Emphasis : To create dominance and focus in a design work.Various elements can be used such as colour, shapes or value, to achieve dominance.
Repetition & Movement
Repetition
repetition between the posture of the people in the poster
Movement
There is a guide line and white lines waves around the topic to guide us seeing the words and picture

Task 1 : Emphasis
Visual Research :

| Fig 1. Visual Research of Emphasis |
Idea Exploration :
My initial idea was make a colourful space in a black and white world.
People who live in black and white world are just repeat the same
thing - work. One character are different from general people and enjoy in
his/her own world which is colourful and playful.

Task 2 : Movement
Visual Research :

Fig 4. Visual Research of Movement |
Idea Exploration :
Attempt 1

| Fig 5. Idea Exploration (Attempt 1) |
|
| Fig 6. Attempt of Doing "Movement" |
I think this artwork (above, Fig 6) was a bit common and
general. It was lack of interesting story and there was not central idea to express in this artwork. Therefore, I decided to change a way to express "movement".
Attempt 2
For this artwork, my inspiration was myself. During these day lockdown, I tried to step into kitchen and cooking for my family. But I am not familiar with this aspect, cooking as if to blow up the kitchen! Therefore, I think when I "busy" in cooking, it was also a movement, right ?

Feedback
General Feedback : Mr Charles said we can try something new and no need to be too safe when playing the rules of these exercise.
Reflection
I realised most of the time my first attempt was very general and lack of creativity. I almost not satisfied with that. I think I can improve my initial idea so when I execute it virtually it can work better.

Very interesting explorative ideas! The kitchen is a very good and original concept! In terms of movement, consider the word "sequence" it can reflect a seguence of events to create a sense of motion. like one after the other. Playing is points of view, angles, perspective might help. What you have there is a great idea and a good starting point! Good effort!
ReplyDeletesorry for the typo. *sequence of events..
