Assessment : Creating a monogram

Lecture on Logos and Monograms on the 21st of September.

The class were then told to create a monogram for ourselves. We had to come up with at least 10 of them. These were pictures of my progress.

Its good to have maggi during in class assessments :p

These are all that I've created at the point of time. My designs on the monograms are basically inspired by shapes or designs that existed but I incorporate my initials in the design itself. For me, I like to bring a certain thing to have a much more personal connection to me. As to the designs I've chose such as the diamond, hearts, anchor, infinity symbol, cherry.. they all have a personal significant to me and they mark a journey of my life in different points of time. So I thought it would be nice to have your initials within a "story". 

These are the ones that Ms Lisa chose out of the lot :

 The anchor

The kite.

Although the "kite" has a better potential in creating a monogram but I chose to work on the "anchor" because of the "story" behind it.

Lecture : Poster Design

On September 7th we had a lecture on Poster design as well as presenting our work on the expanded squares. This is part of the multiple squares I did, which was in the skull design.

And because I'm not very good with my hands with the littlest details, the skull got pretty messy.

This is me with both of my expanded squares where the one on the right is a "design your own superhero costume" themed and the one on the left is a "dessert" themed.

This was our assignment brief for the day. Since we had extra time we were told to structure a story-line and some other details we would like to add in our movie poster.

These are mine, doing researches and taking down notes.

These are Jowin's, basically on Steampunk history.

The genre we chose for our movie poster is Steampunk. Chi Yan, Jowin and I would be in a group of three..so watch this space for our progress in making our movie poster!
