Digital Photography and Imagine: Exercise 1 (Pinterest Designs)

We were asked to choose three graphic designs on Pinterest that caught our hearts. There were so many great designs but I have choose this three designs as I found them interesting and captivating. 


First Design:



Figure 1.1: Infographic Poster | Healthy Matcha  (https://pin.it/6somhQF)

Description: Personally, I am a big fan of matcha. This design has a very complimentary colour choices. The green matches with the background which is reddish brown. This could signify red beans, as often time matcha is paired with red beans. Not only that, the design shows how the tea leaves are grinded into powder form to make the matcha drink.

Second Design:


Figure 1.2: Coraline Poster (https://pin.it/3mgGQZy) 


Description: Coraline has always been one of my favourite movies including the book. The mysterious world has been properly encapsulated in this design with a very unique art style and definitely an interesting approach to Coraline. I like how the design somehow resembles a tarot card. In Coraline's world, it was mysterious and somewhat 'witchlike' as the mum was a witch-spider thing. The design also managed to incorporate creepy crawlers in a unique way by replacing the letter "O" with button, or spider webs as the corner of the tarot card or even the mice as part of the design. 

Third Design:


Figure 1.3: Tears of a Goldfish (https://pin.it/5lU3j4y) 

Description: This design reminded me of my favourite song, "Fish out of Water", where it talks about losing something/someone that you love so much that nothing in the world could replace it and nothing else could fill that empty world or 'bowl' except it. I could see how the girl is placed inside the bowl that could signify that she was willing to bond with the goldfish as she is entering the goldfish's world and they somehow form a deep connection. Looking at the girl's eyes, I could feel like she has finally found something that could make her entire world, regardless of being a fish, whole.

Illustration & Visual Narrative: Project 2 (MyTIGER Values Art Competition 2023)

Illustration & Visual Narrative: Project 2 (MyTIGER Values Art Competition 2023) For Project 2, we had to enter a competition under Maybank titled 'MyTIGER Values Art Competition 2023', which is also a requirement. The theme for this competition was designing an illustrative art under 12 Sustainable Development Goals (Figure 1.1). Figure 1.1: 12 Sustainable Development Goals by Maybank Ms. Anis told us to research on the topics that we find interesting by using Google, Pinterest, even ChatGPT to gain an understanding of the whole topic first before we brainstorm on ideas. We could find references and inspirations on Pinterest or Google and start drafting our designs. I decided to pick Life below water (11th SDG) to be my topic and found some posters regarding the topic. I had an idea of having a plastic bag filled with trash that leaks into the water that kills the aquatic animals while a boat would have two people holding the plastic bag (Figure 1.2). Figure 1.2: Draft of ...

Illustration & Visual Narrative: Exercise 2 (Illustrative Typography)

Illustration & Visual Narrative: Exercise 2 (Illustrative Typography) Using a Pictionary generator, we would generate two words that would help illustrate the said words into typography. I had words that were really really tough to put it together such as meteor and frying pan. I kept generating until I found a pair that I could see myself designing and got seaweed and stingray (Figure 1.1).  Figure 1.1: Pictionary Generator Drafting Process: I started to draft my stingray and seaweed. Initially, I wanted a body of a stingray with the words inside the outline with seaweed filling up the spaces (Figure 1.2). As I fill the colours in, I realised it looked much more creative if the words were made by seaweed (Figure 1.3). Figure 1.2: Initial Draft  Figure 1.3: Seaweed Stingray Draft After showing Ms. Anis my work, she said that there were too much seaweed and she didn't like the design. We talked about a stingray inspired by Moana. She helped me create a new design which I th...
