I find this poster design interesting because of how the designer merged photography, pencil drawings and digital illustration into one design. This poster takes inspiration from graffiti culture and you can see this element from the messy drawings in the poster. I like the pencil drawings because it makes the poster look unique especially since pencils are not usually used for posters. The designer made it work by blending in the pencil sketches in the background to make it look coherent with the other visual elements that are done digitally.

There are a lot of things going on in this poster, but I think each item is relevant to the theme in the poster. To me, it looks like a story about a detective with a strong mind and time is ticking while he searches for clues to solve a mystery in what looks like. I was able to think about a story because of the pictures used in this poster. I also like the use of  the colour blue to make the whole poster catch your eye since most of it is in black and white.

I like this type of graphic design because it’s such a simple that can still convey a lot of meanings. There are many things that a single person can be thinking about, and it can be a things that so different from each other. This design is an example that shows that idea very well. It’s a stunning imagery that shows a deep dive into a person’s mind. I like the decision of not giving the person colour but the things in her mind. She has a very colourful mind in a world that’s mostly black and white.

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...

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.
