| Fig 2 : Design 1 |
Description:
I like this design because it has small details of the anatomy while having the parts labeled which reminds me of those old books from my childhood.
 |
| Fig 3 : Design 2 |
Description:
I like this design because it has so much detail and the effort it took to create this artwork is insane. These type of art also reimagines living spaces in small objects which always surprises me and makes me think about other objects that could be used.

Description:
I like this design because it is minimalistic while having textures which helps make the artwork have depth and a sense of old vintage paintings.

Week 5 : Lecture
This week, we were discussing on conceptual poster design. Posters are a conventional medium where information can be conveyed to a target audience. They contain the power to generate awareness on an issue or conveying a message and luring audience into buying a product or services.
3 main questions to determine what the poster is created for.
- Is it a poster for brand awareness?
- Is it an advertising poster?
- Is it a Public Service Announcement poster?
Public Service Announcement
A Public Service Announcement (PSA) is a message in the public interest disseminated without charge, with the objective of raising awareness of a social issue.

For practical we were tasked to do recoloring of a black and white image. For recoloring we had to create different layers for each part of the image. Then the blending mode would be on overlay which makes the colors overlay the original image.

After finishing the coloring of the image, I tried using different colors on the image just to test out different color combinations.

Week 7 : Lecture
This week, we were discussing on color theory. Color theory is both science and art of using colors. The colors that humans perceive can convey certain messages or feeling to a person.
RGB vs CMYK
RGB is displaying colors on the computer screen while CMYK are the primary colors used in printing.
Hue is the most basic color terms and denotes what the object's color is.
Shade is a hue which has been added with black.
Tint is a hue which has been added with white.
Tone is a hue which has been added with black and white.
 |
| Fig 1: Color Theory |
Monochromatic is where only one color of hue is used where only the shades, tints and tone is changed.
Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel and tend to be very bright and dynamic.

Week 9 : Lecture
This week, we were learning about After Effects. After Effects is an animation software used for animation, visual effects and motion picture compositing. This software is used in the post-production phase, and has hundreds of effects that can be used to manipulate imagery. This allows users to combine layers of video and images into the same scene. We were taught on how we can import layers from Photoshop to be used in After Effects.
Practical
For the exercise this week, we had to animate a composition using After Effects. During tutorial we were taught on how to animate using keyframes on the properties of the layers such as rotate, scale, opacity and more.
This is the composition that was provided.
