Final assignment! Greeting Cards

After the big project, Miss Lisa was nice enough to give us a rest. We had an online tutorial instead of going to class. This really helped me because I don't have to get up so early to go to school. :3 On the online tutorial, Miss Lisa wrote down what we were supposed to do for the final assignment. It was to design and create 3 greeting cards. We were told to make 3 cards with different occasion with just a kind of theme. I decided to use pixel cartoon as my theme. The occasions chosen by me was a Christmas card, a birthday card and a Halloween card. I used Photoshop to draw these cartoon and typography myself. I did some research and also watched videos in youtube on how to draw them in Photoshop. It took me some time to draw them because I am still new to it. After drawing, I printed them out and stick them on the cards.

These are the photos taken to show the progress of making these greeting cards

The outcome!

After presenting, I really appreciate every advices Miss Lisa had gave me. Oh ya! Today was the last class of the principle of design. For this, I would really like to thank Miss Lisa because I had learned a lot of knowledge about designing. I will listen to her advices and adjust my standard to what a real designer should be. :D

Hue assignment :)

Few weeks ago, Miss Lisa gave us a talk about hue. After that, we were given an assignment, one of the biggest project that I have to do in life. We were tasked to make a model to float on the lake or the pond near our POD room. We were also told design the model in hue.

After awhile, we were all divided into groups. I am glad to be in the group with Nick, Nicholas, Dzauqi and Nabila. Right after that, we discussed about what we want to make as the model. At first, we thought of making 8 tentacles with a colourful hue but in the end we find it too hard to be supported and float in the lake so we were forced to forfeit that idea.. :/ In the end, we decided to make a submarine with hue, and we named it the "Huemarine". Then, we were missioned to make a small model to present it on the following week during class.

The sketch of the submarine.

Making the body in the bigger size of the submarine is no problem at all. The only problem that we faced were how to make it stable while on top of the water and the decisions of the body's colour. We looked around the models around us and they are all very colourful. We don't want our submarine to look colourful because it might make it look childish but we do not know whether can it be less colourful or not. Therefore, we asked Miss Lisa again about the colour and she explained and approved it :D She explained that it is not necessary to be colour, just choose the best combination of colour. After that, we discussed and came out with an idea of painting it into patterns like the army like vehicles, which is camourflage. We made our own camourflage with our combination of colours.

For the body of the submarine, we used chicken wires. While for the icebergs around the submarine, we used styrofoam. We also added lights around the submarine to making it more outstanding. Now, I would like to let the pictures talk.

After adding the icebergs (styrofoam) around the submarine and then added bamboos and a few pieces of styrofoam to allow it floats on the lake or pond.

Models of ours and the other groups :)

Our group photo :D

Huemarine with the lights on! It looks much cooler right?

Although it was hard and it took us some time to put them into the pond but we still managed to float it on the water without any damage done to our Huemarine. If you look properly into the photos, you can see some white mist or smoke on the pond. It is thanks to one of my group members, Dzauqi that gave an idea to put dry ice on our model while floating on the water. It managed to give our Huemarien a fantastic effect on visualing!

All the models on the pond!

After editting :D

Although we couldn't float it on the lake instead, but we were still happy. I think all our hard works paid in the end. The outcome was better than we thought. I would like to thank all my group members, our lecturer Miss Lisa and also the others from the other groups who helped us out. I would like to apologise here if I did or said something wrong that offended any of you who are reading this post during this project :/ IF I really did, I am sure that I did not do it in purpose so please forgive me. :l
