Final Project (Surface Design)

Iphone Casing.

Ipad Casing.

WE design this both casing with the material that you wouldn't think of. WE used biscuit, leaves, lime, apple and other natural thing. We did a lot of try out and at last we make it and of course it brings the meaning,
The story is of Adam, Eve and the Tree of Life which brought us further away from God and man's worldly quest for knowledge, unveiling the truth behind naturalism.

Batik





This is my first time create a batik. This is quite hard for me to wax and i was trying to give up, but at the end i still keep on going until i finish it. I made a Spongebob it is because i love this cartoon so much when i was young and i make it blue in color because it represent the other half of Spongebob, which is a female one. In another way, it can be also a poisoned Spongebob.

Spongebob is a cartoon character from Spongebob SquarePants, the TV series. Spongebob SquarePants, was created and designed by cartoonist Stephen Hillenburg (an ex fry cook, and marine biologist). In the cartoon series, Spongebob is portrayed as an annoying, over optimistic, childlike, naïve, sea creature who gives his best shot at anything he does and is overly friendly, to the point he does not understand social cues (eg:- He thinks Squidward, his neighbour, enjoys his company but in actual fact, he loathes Spongebob). As he drew the character, Stephen Hillenburg decided that a "squeaky-clean square" (like a kitchen sponge) fits the concept of an upbeat, happy Spongebob, instead of the original shape of a sea sponge, which was completely abnormal and uninteresting. Lastly, the characters in Spongebob, were all inspired by, and representative of the seven deadly sins. Spongebob represents the sin of “lust”, as he shows extreme affection to those around him.

Silhouettes

A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is basically featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media.



Cutting portraits, generally in profile, from black card became popular in the mid-18th century, though the term “silhouette” was seldom used until the early decades of the 19th century, and the tradition has continued under this name into the 21st century. From its original graphic meaning, the term "silhouette" has been extended to describe the sight or representation of a person, object or scene that is backlit, and appears dark against a lighter background. Anything that appears this way, for example, a figure standing backlit in a doorway, may be described as "in silhouette". Because a silhouette emphasises the outline, the word has also been used in the fields of fashion and fitness to describe the shape of a person's body or the shape created by wearing clothing of a particular style or period.

Tessellation

Tessellation is the process of creating a two-dimensional plane using the repetition of a geometric shape with no overlaps and no gaps. Generalizations to higher dimensions are also possible.

Closure (Guitar)
Similarity (Cigarette's smell)
Continuity (Running Man)
Alignment (Birds)

The Paper Cutting


This assignment is display of 2D design, is quite difficult for me to think of idea about it using color paper, cutting and etc.
Here is my works for paper cutting.


The Movement.

Symmetrical Balance.
Asymmetrical Balance.   
Repetition. 
Dominance. 
Scale. 
Rhythm. 
This is kinda messy because this is is first time working in paper cut stuff. However, I've learn about some space, balance, dominance.

The Mask

This masterpiece, edited by Nicholas Lee, Vanessa, Tiffany, Jessica, Namira, Suet Ying, Kelvin, Yee Zhe and Vincent, was filmed in various locations such as a stairwell and classroom in Taylor's Lakeside Campus and an abandoned site near Glenmarie. In this short film, we are enlightened on the life of Vincent, an unfortunate young man. He was born with hideous looks. His unpleasant appearance made him unable to get a job anywhere, he was beaten by his own family and friends and to top it all off, his girlfriend left him when he needed her the most. All of this combined drove him to the brink of insanity.

Self Portrait


 A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist. Although self-portraits have been made by artists since the earliest times, it is not until the Early Renaissance in the mid 15th century that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work. With better and cheaper mirrors, and the advent of the panel portrait, many painters, sculptors and print makers tried some form of self-portraiture.


This is the self portrait of myself. This is my first time using natural stuff to make my self portrait. Is an ART !
I used all natural materials such as leaves, beans, straws, card, and etc. There are some meaning with using all this material.
