Assignment 5 (Your notion of colorful asia)

Assignment 5 is about postcard design. The title of the assignment is "Your notion of colorful asia". What fisrt come to my mind is the national costume of asia. I found that the national costume of asia are really colorful and identical. Due to Asia is kind of big, so I decided to split Asia into 4 part which is East Asia, South Asia, South East Asia and West Asia. I will choose 1 national costume from each region to represent Asia. For East Asia, I love Korea Hanbok very much, so I choose Hanbok to represent East Asia. For South Asia, I think India Sari will be the best choice. For the South East Asia, I found that Vietnamese Ao Dai is quite special and colorful too. And the West Asia I found that Arabian Belly Dancer costume is very attractive and colorful too. Below are the my artpieces for this assignment.

Assignment 4 (iN2015)

In this assignment we have to design a poster for the theme of "iN2015", Intelligent Nation 2015 of Singapore. After I did some research, I decided to design a poster for iN2015 which is more relevant to Healthcare. Below is the result of my design.


The poster show that a doctor is interacting with his patient thru a healthcare system. So the patient can stay at home and the doctor can monitor the patient remotely thru the system. I use the singapore landscape as the background to show that the masterplan of iN2015 is in the progress in Singapore.

So did you see what I see ? Hehe
The guy was sending sms to her girl friend behind the tree but he was misunderstood by me that he was "peeing" behind the tree. Haha. I make all the background become black and white because I want all the audiences focus on the highlighted objects. Besides, I did add in a male toilet logo and humanise it to make the story more fun. Hope you all did enjoy it.

Assignment 2, Revised (Less is More, Pictogram)

This is the revised version of assignment 2. Some of my peers said the final pictogram look like a CD player or MPS player, so I filled up the washing machine with black color and I put a mini t-shirt, a sock, one third of water and half of the t-shirt is immerge in the water to make it more like a washing machine. Below is the final work.

Assignment 2 (Less is More, Pictogram)

The title of assignment 2 is Less is More. We are asked to design a pictogram for NUS community and show the degree of abstraction for the pictogram. After the brainstorming session, I decided to design a pictogram of the laundry room for the student hostels. As a NUS student, everytime I have shifted into a new residence, I always can't find where is the laundry room. Hence, a pictogram for laundry room is needed in NUS. The drawing below shows the 5 steps of degree of abstraction for my pictogram.

I choose the last one to develop into a prototype. This is the prototype that I designed.

Besides, I have choose a suitable location to put this pictogram. The location is the path way junction of one of the residences in NUS, which is Ridge view residence. This path way junction is the main path from the entrance of the residence to all the blocks in this residence. So I think this location is the best place to show where is the laundry room of this residence. Below is the example of how the pictogram locate at the residence area.

Assignment 1B, Revised(Me, Myself and I)

After get all the feedbacks from my peers, I realised that my previous CG doesn't show my personality but just my name. So I have to modify my drawing to show out my personality. From my peer suggestion, I put myself into the drawing with the racing suit and a sport car which i like very much. In the drawing, I'm driving the sport car towards the racing circuit to join the racing. My face expression show that I'm aggressive, passionate, ambitious and always ready to take up challenges no matter how difficult it is. The circuit is complicated, it shows that life is always complicated but i'm willing to try my best overcome it. Below is my revised prototype for this assignment.
