LECTURE

There are no lectures for this week as it is an independent study week.
 

PRACTICE

There is no practice being assigned for this week but I was working on My Tiger poster for the finishing touches as this project has been assigned few weeks ago but I have not include the process of making the poster in the previous week.

The first thing I did is to collect inspiration for the poster supposedly but I have already have reference material I have gather from my previous class. Here are the few materials that inspire my poster.

Fig 1.2 Poster Inspiration 2

After taking another look at my inspirational poster, I begin to sketch down some ideas for the MyTiger posters. Here are the two sketches:

Fig 2.1 Sketch 1
 
Fig 2.2 Sketch 2


I decide to pick the second sketch and proceed with the digitization process. First I collected all the elements I need for the poster.

After collecting all the thing I have needed, I start the digitization process. I first start to Photoshop a polluted wasteland. Then I masked the edited picture into the tiger. Outside the tiger, I put a wallpaper of a rain forest. Then I do the finishing touches.

During consultation, however, Mr. Fauzi says that the poster should be portrait instead of landscape. So I realign the poster and give it a touch a few more times and here is the final result:

This project is perhaps one of the more 'serious' project. What I mean by that is that this feels much official, like an exam of sorts. This is mainly due to it being a competition with real actual prizes. I don't really like competitions so doing this competition actually pushes me out of my comfort zone and emailing my work for stranger to see. That is perhaps one I find most challenging as I don't like to show my work to people I don't even know. In this project, I really get to put all the Photoshop knowledge I have learnt over the weeks of this semester into creating this poster and use all of them to create one poster.

Animation Fundamentals 22.4.2023 - 10.5.2023 Johnny Lam Wee Zhe (0363436) Bachelor of Design in Creative Media INSTRUCTIONS   PROJECT 2A - WALK CYCLE In the second project, we are to begin animating the character design from the first design. On the first half, we will be starting off with the walk cycle of the character. I wanted to refer to further references on walk cycles outside of the lecture so I found a video that reflects on what I plan to achieve. Here is the video I'm referring to:   Due to the differences between my character and the simple character shown here, I decide to improvise certain parts of the animation process. I start out my process by copying the side view outline of the character and draw a quick proportional guideline around the character design. That's when I came upon the first problem. The leg of the character does not have a determined knee point. In order to solve this problem, I readjust the leg a...

The reason why hand writings are studies is because the first form of  the mechanical type is created based on and imitated from hand writing. Here is the evolution of the Latin letters: Fig 1.1 Evolution of Latin Alphabet The earliest writing system known is a cuneiform used between 34 Century B.C.E to the 1st Century C.E. where a distinctive wedge for was the result of pressing the blunt end of the reed onto wet clay. Cuneiform are then evolved from pictogram and is written from left to the right. Fig 1.2 Cuneiform Tablet Then ancient Egyptians create their own writing system which is fused with relief of carving. The system is a mix of a rebus and phonetic...
