Reflection

This was a very short semester, but I feel like I have learnt a lot of things when it comes to applying design principles to any piece of media. When doing research about the different design principles, I was amazed at how so many visual elements can make a design stand out. Each of them has a unique role that can be combined in the final design. Using the knowledge I have about the design principles, I was able to create an artwork using some of those elements.

What I enjoyed most about this module is coming up with the final design. I love to draw, so my mind was immediately flooded with ideas after I choosing the artwork by Ana Barboza. I went to find some references online and applied the visual elements I like about each of the references and added it to my sketches. I only ended up choosing one sketch out of the six, but it was fun to sketch out the other ideas anyway. I was able to get some insightful feedback from my lecturer as I was progressing through this module.

There isn't anything I particularly disliked about this module since I found myself enjoying it a lot. I will say that it was a very exhilarating process as not only did I have to think about the final design, I needed to find the right words to describe it. I usually find difficulty in expressing myself with words so I tried my best with those parts.

I've learnt that I can overdo things that would make it harder for myself to complete the assignment. I'm glad I managed to tone it down to reduce the workload for myself, otherwise I would not have been able to finish the assignment on time.

I feel that whenever I see any artworks nowadays, I will remember what I have learnt from this module and analyse those artworks. I can now understand why artists made the decisions that were made in their final artwork. The details are hard to notice without thinking about the design principles that they used.

I think for this module, it would be nice to have group assignments. Having someone to discuss with about the design principles can be beneficial to everyone in the group. It is also a great way to make some new friends as well.

Week 1 - 6 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media GCD60904 Interactive Design Project 1 Instructions Submission Presentation Design Evaluation From the homepag e, it can be determined that the website’s representative colours are red, black and white. These colours contrast with each other nicely and makes the important information stand out clearly. The colours could be applied differently to make the website look more visually pleasing to the eye. The fonts used in this website are Arial and Helvetica. These fonts make the contents of the pages look easy to read without looking too cluttered. However, In some pages, the font used is Cormorant Garamond, which looks very different from Arial and Helvetica , so there is a dip in consistentency in its font choices. The same can be said about the branding or logo, which has 3 different fonts that don’t match with each other at all. User Experience (UX) When a user wants to go to any of the tabs such as ...

  Week 1 - 14 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media RES 60603 Design Research Methodology Final Report Instructions Final Report Video Presentation Presentation Slides Feedback Reflection Experience Task 1 At the beginning of the module, we are required to search for a topic that interests us, with various sources that are related to it, whether it is directly related or mentioned somewhere else. A topic came to mind about minimal illustrations because I had been looking at some minimal designs prior to the start of the semester, so I decided to base my topic around it. It was a bit difficult to think of the research questions and research objectives that aren’t too basic and easy to answer. I came up with some and received feedback from Miss Jinchi to improve the research questions and research objectives to make them more interesting. I wrote down the problem statement using paraphrased sentences from existing sources and shortened it more to make it mo...

Week 1 - 7 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media GCD 60504 Information Design Exercises Instructions Exercises Exercise 1 - Quantifiable Information I have a packet of colorful cotton balls that I could use for this exercise. There were too many so I picked out a usable amount that still has some variety in colors.  Fig. 1, unsorted cotton balls Then I arranged them by color in a swirly pattern and counted how many of each colored cotton ball there is. Final Composition Fig. 2, final composition with cotton balls Exercise 2 - L.A.T.C.H Infographic Poster For this exercise, we needed to organise a group of information that combines and utilised at least 4 of the L.A.T.C.H principles. I have decided to choose sharks as my topic and listed out the L.A.T.C.H principles I will be using, which will be; L (Location) = The Mediterranean Sea A (Alphabet) = Shark Names by Alphabet C (Category) = Species of Sharks H (Hierarchy) = Apex Predators, Mid-Level Predators,...
