LECTURE

On week six of our lecture, we learn about the basic of poster making related to the upcoming project. We learn the seven principals in poster designs;
- Emphasis
- Balance and Alignment
- Contrast: Making the poster 'pop' with a high saturation difference.
- Repetition: Unifies and strengthens design.
- Proportion: Visualize size and weight of elements in a composition and how they related to each other.
- White Space: Allows the poster to breathe and look less crowded.

PRACTICE 

For this week's practical, we are tasked with recoloring black and white photos. There are three photos to recolor. The first is a picture of an elderly man, here is the before and after pictures:

Fig 1.1  Elderly Man (Black and White)

Fig 1.2 Elderly Man (Recolor)

The second picture is a picture of young woman, using a masking to recolor rather than the traditional brush over picture technique.
 
Fig 2.1 Picture of Woman (Black and White)

Fig 2.2 Picture of Woman (Recolor)
 
For the third picture, we are given a selection of pictures to choose and recolor them using the same technique used to recolor the same photo of the second picture. I choose the picture of the bearded man.

Fig 3.1 Picture of Bearded Man (Black and White)

Fig 3.2 Picture of Bearded Man (Recolor)

Doing this exercise has been quite enlightening to me, it really pushes me into figuring out the color of the person using several references as a starting point. I feel that this exercise have help me decide what color put on to certain parts of the black and white image. What I really look forward to is the new masking technique that I learnt while doing this exercise. Thanks to that, I can select the finest part of one's hair much easily and I can only imagine how useful such a tool is going to be.

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...
