Final Project

For the final project, we are tasked to work in groups of 3-5 members to create an e-book on food theme. There are 2 options to choose: either children storybook e-book or comic e-book. For our group, we chose to create a children storybook e-book. My group members are Andrea Loh, Shireen and Keng Kok. Although the final project is a very heavy workload, our group managed to pull off. It was an enjoyable teamwork, we learnt alot from one another not just about nm2208 but other stuff too. You may view the e-book from the url link below.

Personal Work

These are some drawings I did a few years ago. Most of the times when I am very bored, then I reference some of the comics or photos and sketch the images.



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.

Adobe Workshop - Photoshop for beginners, Intermediate I & II, Advance

This is what I learnt from the Adobe Workshop Photoshop for beginners: using pen tool to trace out the shape of an object for this case is an apple and applying gradient to the object.

These are the stuff taught during the intermediate photoshop workshop

This is advance photoshop workshop taught how to create a water color effect on the person by blending different layers.



Adobe Workshop - Illustrator for beginners, Intermediate I & II, Advance

The most frequently used tool in Illustrator is the pen tool which I used very often too for most of my NM2208 assignments

 For the intermediate workshop, we were taught how to customise the brush tool.

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

Final Prototype of the postcard:

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
