INSTRUCTIONS 



TASKS

Self titled idea:
As I really like vintage style, I want to include it in this project. I also would like to include some elements like paints, and cakes which are things that I like. I see myself as a positive person, so I want to have some bright colors. I think I have a different mood depending on different situations, I also want to include that into the design. I love cats, but I don’t have a cat as my pet, but when I look at the pictures and videos from the internet, I will be happy easily. I wish I could reach the effect as the reference below.

We were asked to explore our reference

These are the photos that I might want to include. I think it is quite fun because I had include some pictures from my second account of Instagram which I don't really show up to the people that I am not too close with.

TYPOGRAPHY DESIGN

fig 1.15 typography final choice 23/10/2020

I had found some vintage retro font design online, and it's free for use. There, I tried the font using my name. After that, I had chose Bratsy script as my type face and I played around with the colors.

PROGRESSION

I didn't record much when I was doing the final outcome because I am too focus XD

FIRST DRAFT

2nd PROGRESSION 

fig 1.18 putting template of golden ratio to my design 23/10/2020

fig 1.19 progression 23/10/2020

After feedback from Mr. Fauzi, I apply golden ration on it and I feel that it is too plain so I added some more elements like flowers and barcode to make it feel mare like a magazine cover feeling.

FINAL OUTCOME 

fig 1.20 final outcome 23/10/2020

This is my final outcome for project 2B. After feedback from Mr. Fauzi to apply golden ratio on it, I have make the focus on the small picture of me on the right top side. After I had done the adjustment, I think that it is quite OK and I think it had gives out the fun side of me. I had include a lot of the things that I like and I think I am kind of satisfy with the final outcome. However, I still think that it is lack of something but I am not sure what it is. 

FEEDBACK

week 6: Mr. Fauzi said that I could proceed with my idea sketch 2 and I could decide on one of the font designs, He also said that I have a lot of photos and he reminded me to look up for reference.
week 7: Mr. Fauzi said that I have good progression and I may proceed to 100% progress. After that, he said that I have good layout and I might try to apply golden ratio on my outcome. I could also put the title which is my name stack it on the little picture of me to make a flow on my outcome. He said that I my outcome is good and good job. 

REFLECTION

Experience: I had fun doing this project because I am really doing the style that I like, there is no any restrictions on what style do we need to do. I also the inner personality of me by asking my friends about how they think of me in a person. I feel really embarrassing at first because I don't really like to show my faces online. I was really run out of pictures so I took some of the picture a day before we need to submit the photos with my friend.

Observation: I realize that we need to be more confident about ourselves because everyone is different and you need to love yourself more.

Finding: I found that if you don't really care about marks and do the things that you like, you will enjoy the progress more and the outcome will not be that bad.
