Assignment 1 - Me, Myself and I (Final)

The initial design of the mecha was to make it look like a mix of dragon and mecha. As Bruce Lee's name has a "dragon" chinese character. Thus, I thought of coloring the armor of the mecha with the color of the scales of standard chinese dragon. During the critique session, the class suggested using either the space or battleground as background. I chose the space as the background because of its dark color that will bring out the metallic looks on the mecha.

Assignment 5 - Climate Change

The critiques I received from the tutorial group:

• the cause of climate change is not shown on the infographic
• there are no measurement units to show the data of the graph
• the name of the organisation is not necessary to be included on the infographic

Suggestions for improvements:

• use the food to represent the line of the graph
• do a bar chart with the cause of climate from the bottom to the top of the chart with the effects of the climate change
• shows how climate affect crop as a result affecting food prices
• design the infographic like a stock report base on weather color

Assignment 4 - Color Coalition

Back of the postcard:



The critiques I received from the tutorial group:

• too spread out, no interaction between the objects
• ezlink card seems like floating in the background by itself

Suggestions for improvements:

• overlap creates some interaction
• make the transports pop up from the background
• show a person's hand holding a map and holding a bus on the map
• use the SMRT route map as a board game platform

Class Exercise E

For this week class exercise, we were tasked to pick two words from the list and use basic elements to create two talking forms. The word I chose was "joy" while my groupmate chose "chaos". I used lines to form fireworks, the number of lines I used was even number because even numbers come in pair which are happy numbers. The colors I used for the lines were yellow and orange because both yellow and orange are colors associated with joy. I used a black background to bring out the fireworks look and using common sense; fireworks are usually launched during the night when the sky is dark. I added a few yellow dots in the background to enhance the overall look.

"JOY"

My groupmate for this exercise chose the word “Chaos” and his description is below:

I depict it by using earthquake and/or wall creaks and cracks as the basic design. The overall image shows ‘chaos-ness’ as the lines goes hay-wire. At the same time, the cracks were also random in terms of size and direction which ties in with the word, chaos.

"CHAOS"

Assignment 3 - U C What I C

U C What I C



The critiques I received for this assignment:

• the concept of a female transform into a male is very hard to accept
• too many concepts within 9 photos is not advisable
• the rushing shots: staircase and corridor, are too static

Suggestions for improvements:

• maybe have a frame display the female took some kind of pills that caused the female-to-male transformation
• maybe manipulate or blur the rushing shots to create the rushing effects
