Assignment 1 - Me Myself and I : Design Process
Saturday, September 8, 2007
This blog is started for NM2208.
I guess this will be pretty interesting for both myself and the tutor to keep track of my ideas and what I plan to do.
Firstly, I think I might want to keep track of my initial design for the first assignment. These are hand-drawn and presented to the class during the first tutorial. The topic was something like: My name is _____ and I love/hate _____.
So, the first thing that I thought of that I love was music. But after thinking it through, it is very hard to materialise my passion for music in to something on paper. Besides, the idea itself might be overused by my peers. So I decided on something more specific: sushi. It's not only my favourite food, it represent my love for Japan and all of Japan's wonderful culture. Thus, my sketches below show an egg sushi with the brown patterns showing my name and the second picture show 5 sushi rolls with the ingredients inside showing alphabets of my name.
Then for the thing that I hate, despite the ordinariness, I decided to focus on my dislike for insects. So I thought of the ways that I can kill insects with. So I came up with 2 basic drawings for the theme of 'hate', one where a shoe print in the mud shows many ants dead and forming my name, the other show a bottle of insecticide and the last 'flying actions' of the insects forming my name.
Both of these 4 sketches are hand drawn and were presented in class. Improvement was made after some criticism from fellow course mates and the tutor.
Changes and comments will be added in a separate update post.
