In this group assignment me,Wing Hua and James Ivern planning to make a action crime movie influenced by pop art movement..
our poster research
These are some of our rough sketches
Hua Hin, Thailand (Photo credit: Qsimple)
but then we have decided to create our action crime poster influenced by american realism instead of pop art .
here are some of our action crime research poster
here are some american realism artworks
Here are some of our sketches :
and here’s our upcoming outcome :
The Assignment was to create a Tessellation based on our own title. My title was technology occupies life. I have created my tessellation based on technology item such as Hand phones, Camera’s, Mp3 Players, Tablets and Cars because these are the famous items that runs with computerized software which relates to technology. These are some thumbnails on tessellation.
We have learnt about Tessellation & Stencil. Here’s my research on TESSELLATION & STENCIL .
I was told to create 9 self – portraits of my self and match it with 9 different art movements.
The art movements I chose was :
On this week , i was told to do some research about Rococo art movement & present it on class . So this is the slide that I’ve done . Hope this slide helps you to understand the art movement & get some interesting information .
For this class exercise , we were asked form into a group of 3 to create our own color wheel . Our group consists Ibam , Kei Meng & I (Jai) . Our lecturer Aaron Lam wanted us to make our very own color wheel made out of actual objects that goes beyond the norm .
Our group decided to create the color wheel with wooden blocks , a3 paper , mounting board , poster color and super glue .
and the final outcome was :
Color Theory
In the visual arts , color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of specific color combination. There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel: primary color , secondary color and tertiary color .
Color Abstractions
The foundations of pre-20th-century color theory were built around “pure” or ideal colors, characterized by sensory experiences rather than attributes of the physical world. This has led to a number of inaccuracies in traditional color theory principles that are not always remedied in modern formulations .
lightness (light vs. dark, or white vs. black),
saturation (intense vs. dull), and
hue (e.g., red, orange, yellow, green, blue or purple) .
Primary Color : Red , Yellow & Blue
Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors . They are called primary colors because they cannot be created by mixing other colors . Primary colors form the basis for color theory or color mixing, as using these three colors it’s possible to mix most other colors .
Secondary Colors : Orange , Green & Purple
A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary color together : red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple . The secondary color depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries .
Tertiary Color : Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green
There are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That’s why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange .
Symmetrical Balance
Symmetrical balance is an exact correspondence of form and constituent configuration on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane or about a center or an axis . Symmetric means something like well-proportioned, well-balanced, and symmetry denotes that sort of concordance of several parts by which they integrate into a whole .
Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical balance art is when both sides of the central axis are not identical, yet appear to leave the same visual weight . It is a “felt” equilibrium or balance between the parts of a composition rather than actual . If the artist can fell, judge or estimate the various elements and visual weight, this should allow him/her to balance them as a whole . This results in a more interesting composition that will occur in the work . The use of asymmetry in design allows for more freedom of creativity, because there are unlimited arrangements that may be devised using asymmetrical balance .
We had a class exercise to be done . I’ve made my designs simple and on bright colors so it could be easy to spot the differents …
This is my symmetrical balance .
This is my asymmetrical balance .
Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic . Edward de Bono divides thinking into two methods. He calls one ‘vertical thinking’ that is, using the processes of logic, the traditional-historical method. He calls the other ‘lateral thinking’, which involves disrupting an apparent sequence and arriving at the solution from another angle or “think outside the box”. 
Graphic design is a creative process, one most often involving a client and a designer, and traditionally completed in conjunction with producers of form.Graphic design also may be applied directly to websites, eliminating the need for an intermediary. Graphic design is undertaken to convey a specific message (or messages) to a targeted audience, usually from the client, known as the ‘brief’.
