COMMUNICATING PRACTICE

INFOGRAPHIC ( PROCESS)

When all the information are complete now I just need to category it and make a list of all the ingredient that we need to make a laksa. This is the list that I made for the ingredient of laksa:

After all the ingredient are listed now I just need to list it into how frequency it use in all the type of laksa.  From the list I notice that onion was the important thing beside the fist followed by chili, tamarind, mi laksa and other.    

COMMUNICATING PRACTICE

INFOGRAPHIC ( PROCESS )

I have done a research about laksa around the Malaysia and from what I get not every state have a laksa only a few have it such as Johor, Melaka, Kelantan, Sarawak, Pulau Pinang, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, and Terengganu.

WHAT IS LAKSA ?

Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup which is combination of Chinese and Malay cuisine.It can be found in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. There is three basic type of laksa that is curry laksa, asam laksa and Sarawak laksa.

PENANG LAKSA



 Penang laksa or Laksa Pulau Pinang also known as asam laksa from the Malay for tamarind, it comes from the Malaysia island of Penang. It is made with mackerel ( ikan  kembung ) soup and its main distinguishing feature is the asam or tamarind which gives the soup a sour taste. The fish is poached and then flaked. Other than that in this laksa also they put another ingredient like lemongrass, galangal and chili to make the laksa have its distinctive flavour.

KEDAH LAKSA

Kedah laksa is very similar to Penang laksa and only difference in the garnishing used. Sliced boiled eggs are usually added to the dish. Kedah laksa used rice to make a laksa noodle. The famous laksa in kedah is laksa Telok Kechai.

KELANTAN LAKSA

Kelantan laksa is from state in Northeastern Malaysia. It has base a mackerel ( ikan kembung ), thick coconut milk, stalks lemongrass, shallots, cloves garlic, slices dried tamarind, palm sugar and salt.

JOHOR LAKSA 

Johor laksa from Johor state in southern Malaysia, resembles Penang laksa only in the kind of fish but difference in everything else. Johor laksa has coconut milk, use kerisik, dried prawns, lemon grass galagal and spices akin to curry. The garnishing comprises slices of onion, beansprouts, mint leaves, daun kesum, cucumber and pickled white radish. Finally before eating, freshly squeezed lime juice is sprinkled on the dish. The unique to Johor laksa is its Italian connection because spaghetti is used instead of the normal rice noodle or vermicelli. Johor laksa is traditionally eaten using the hand and the noodle are usually knitted into a disk for each serving.

SARAWAK LAKSA

Sarawak laksa comes from the Malaysian state Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. It is actually very different from curry laksa as the soup contains no curry at all. It has a base of sambal belacan, sour tamarind, garlic,galagal, lemon grass and coconut milk, topped with omelette strips, chicken strips, prawns, fresh coriander and optionally lime. Ingredient such as sprouts, fried tofu or other seafood are not traditional but sometimes added.

TERENGGANU LAKSA 

Terengganu laksa is the easiest laksa recipe that is famous among people from the town of Kuala Terengganu of the Terengganu  state, located at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The main ingredient of Terengganu laksa's sauce is ikan kembung that are boiled and minced. The minced fish are fried with onion, garlic, ginger, belacan, kantan flower, daun kesum, lemon grass and dried tamarind slice. Coconut milk will then be added as the final ingredient and stirred until it is all mixed up and becomes thick.

COMMUNICATING PRACTICE

INFOGRAPHIC ( PROCESS)

In last post I decided to make my info graphic about 'guide to be successful graphic designer' but my lecture said that this topic many people have done it therefore I must search to another topic that is more towards local things that not everyone know about it like the name of the traditional food. Therefor I decided to make my info graphic is about the ingredient in  laksa around Malaysia.

As we know in Malaysia there is many type of laksa such as Pineng Laksa, Sarawak Laksa, Johor Laksa and many more but are we realize that majority of the ingredient in laksa are same. The main part of laksa is the fish and onion but there is some of the laksa contain a little bit of difference such as Sarawak Laksa, they do not use fish as the main ingredient in laksa but they use chicken and prawn as the important part in laksa. It same goes to another state, they have put some addition ingredient into their laksa to make it taste difference. Therefore we can taste a difference laksa at difference state this make the laksa very unique.

I interested in making this laksa infographic because although it have a difference taste and difference ingredient but it still call laksa and not everyone know the difference. To make this infographic first I need to make a research about all the laksa in Malaysia.    

3D MODELLING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMENTS

BUILDING AN ENVIRONMENTS(PROCESS)

For this week we need to decide which image that we want to make as our building model and put it in maya to make it look 3D and this is the image that I choose to develop more to make it look real. In maya we only need the top view to put the polygon according to our drawing. Like what I do is I just use the basic polygon such as cylinder and rectangle to make my model. This is the first step that I do to make it look 3D.

First I take the drawing that I have trace in illustrator and put it in the top view

After that I start to put the polygon shape and start design it 

3D MODELING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMENT

BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENT (PROCESS)

We are requiring doing sketches about designing a building with the theme of ‘corner’. In this task I do some of the sketches it could be anything as long it in the theme of corner and this is my sketches: 

3D MODELING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMETS

BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENT ( PROCESS)

After do some of the sketches we need to trace it into photoshop or illustrator to make it look more clean and clear. This is some of my work.

This is the view from the top of my building

This is the view from the side of my design.

3D MODELLING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMENTS

BUILDING AN ENVIRONMENTS (PROCESS)

I added some additional shape like the window to the building to make it look realistic.

I also add the gate for my building

Process designing the gate

I create the furniture for the outside of the building. I make a chair for the people to sit and relax.

I also make a tree to make it look more ecosystem. Other than that I also make the lamp for my building.

3D MODELLING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMENTS

BUILDING AN ENVIRONMENTS (PROCESS)

After all designing process was finish now I start to put some of the texture and try put the color to my building

First I want to make my building look like a glass building and I play with transparency to make it look like a glass but after that I change my mind and make it look like the normal building.

3D MODELLING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMENTS

BUILDING AN ENVIRONMENTS (PROCESS)

After the experiment with color and texture was finish now in this week I play with light. I start to look where I want to put the light to make my model look nice. I put the light at the left on the corner to make it look like the light of the sun or the moon.

After that I also put the light on my lamp there is six of lamp. I put the light so it look like the real lamp. 

3D MODELLING FOR OBJECT AND ENVIRONMENTS

BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENTS (PROCESS)

Last of this task after all are finish design and color now I can start to render my work. This is the last step of this task and this is the result.

MUSEUM, GALLERY AND HERITAGE

Drawing Process 

Last week we do some trip to SUHU gallery, at there we was expose to what we should do when we want to start drawing. Firstly we were given a description about how we can get idea from the picture. We are told how the previous artist do a research to gain the idea to make a drawing, mostly they do manually like print a picture and scanning the picture. Today we do not do things like that to gain an idea, it looks like waste a paper because we need to print and do a lot of thing but now we just take a picture and do some editing in the software that provided for us and we can get better result.

When we want to make a drawing we need to do a preparation like prepare the frame which we will put the canvas on it. To make a frame we need a accurate measurement and angle to make it perfect and will form a shape that we want. Mostly the angle for the frame is 90 degree and the length of the frame depend on the size of our drawing.

After we have the frame we need to choose the type of canvas that we want to use that is suitable for our art. Painters working with a variety of type of paint. Each type of paint require a specific coating. There are three type of canvas, oil canvas, absorbent canvas and universal canvas. Oil canvas is intended solely for oil paint. Absorbent canvas are intended for tempera and the universal canvas are suitable for both oil paint and acrylic paint.

After finish the explanation about the material that we use to make a frame of canvas we go to another side that have two practical student do their work for the Nando's competition. They are need to make art base on Nando's therefor one of the student do art by combine two ways of art one is manual and another one is digital.


He make the poster of Nando's chicken because the base of Nando's food was chicken therefor he make the portrait of chicken and he also put the crown at the head of the chicken to show that chicken was the important part in Nando's food. After that he make the eggs of the chicken using the 3D printer and glue it at the bottom of the portrait. The purpose of this eggs because he said that chicken will laying eggs and will produce more chicken for the the company.
