ASSIGNMENT 5 - My notion of colorful Asia

POSTCARD~! COLOURFUL ASIA!

Dance was the first thing that came to my mind. Plus the fact that different countries had different traditional costumes, I though it would be a good idea to do on their traditional dances. Also, to add on to the notion of Asia, I used the map of Asia to serve as the background for the dancers and they are in fact standing on their own country's mark!

Color scheme


9 different colors and I finally chose "FRESH". The colors blend well and brings out the aspect of colorful Asia with the different colors and costumes. A map of Asia serves as the background to further emphasize Asia.

Final artwork: POSTCARD

Roughs
From the thumbnails, I further developed into these 2 roughs:


However, cartoon posters made the poster unrealistic and unconvincing. The ideas and messages are not being sent out effectively as well. The impact is just not there.
Rough 2 although uses a real hand but is too skinny to balance the text on the right. It also made the whole poster look empty.


Therefore, after much thought and improvement, ..............

Final Poster: Prevent Self-mutilation

ASSIGNMENT 3 - U C what I C (visual story)

Thumbnails Description: Four ladies were on their way home after shopping happily. A robber then sees them as his target and attacks them. However, the robber was being captured by the four ladies instead.

Description: A lady finds her wallet stolen after coming out from a crowded lift and immediately pointed to a man who is poorly dressed. However, after a search on the man, nothing was found. The pickpocket was in fact a lady who is well-dressed. Therefore, never judge a person by his/her appearance.


PHOTO STORY - U C what I C


Putting one story into eight shots and breaking the shots to fit the story is not easy. Had to really sketch and sketch and sketch and try fill all the eight shots.. but sketching thumbnails really helps alot in generating ideas and fasten the process when taking photos.



Oh well.. my friends are all very cooperative and does whatever i tell them to the best they can! thanks to all! :) and seriously i think they can act really well.. i had a hard time filtering the photos lol cheers to all!




anyway, i think this is quite a cliched story >.<
