packaging proposal

Subj : Critical Thinking
Task : Packaging

From the last task we need to find 3 packaging that we think there is something that is not right at the packaging and do a proposal that show what is wrong with the packaging that we have choose. After that we need to choose 1 packaging that we want to redesign it to look more better.

TITTLE : PACKAGING DESIGN PROPOSAL

OBJECTIVE: 
1.Change the shape of the bottle from circle to triangle. The reason to do this transform because it will look nice on the display.
2.Use other material to replace the glass such as the plastic bottle that can be recycle.
3.

AIM : Make the bottle can be reuse and improve the design that make it look suitable for the  product.

PROBLEM STATEMENT : 

•  The label are too small and not aligned. Other than that the information on the label are not enough and the color of the label and the bottle are same color it look not interesting. If the label are move we do not know what bottle it is. The latter are too small and difficult to read. The logo are small and cannot be see from far. This packaging also does not have a price tag.
• This bottle was a glass bottle as we know the glass bottle are easy to break. When the glass bottle are break it is very dangerous compare to the plastic bottle. It is because when the glass break the fragment are very sharp and can hurt anyone who stepped on it.
• Other than that the cap of the bottle it use the cans cap. It will make the bottle can not be reuse because it cannot  be save if we not finis drink the water. 
• The use of the bottle glass is more heavy compare to when we use the plastic or event use the aluminium can. 

PROBLEM SOLUTION

• Use the difference color of the bottle so that we can see the difference between the label and the bottle such as replace the green color to the white color. Make the label a little bit bigger so that we can put all the important information at the bottle such as the nutrition information, the caution and the ingredient. Other than that we also can replace the label of the logo with make a cop at the bottle. It can reduce the wastage of the sticker use. 
• Replace the glass to the plastic bottle. It will reduce the danger of the bottle.
• Use the plastic cap like a screw cap it will make the bottle can be reuse and when the water are not finis we still can save it in refrigerator.
• Make the shape of the bottle triangle and make a grip at the middle of the bottle. It help in holding the bottle.
• triangle shape can save more space in display.
• Make a hole at the bottom of the bottle it will help when want to put the bottle in a large container or box.
• Other than to tag the bottle the hole also can use to keep the cap of the bottle.

RATIONAL

• First is to make the bottle easy to carry anywhere because it is not heavy
• It will not be too dangerous if the bottle fall down because it is plastic.
• When we hold the bottle there are grip on the bottle so we not scare that the bottle fall down.
• The hole at the  bottom of the bottle are use to tag another bottle. It will protect the bottle if we put the bottle in the container and also will save the space use to organize the bottle.

Task : Navigate me !

For this task we need to go out from the collage and record all the thing that happen around us. We need to do a map for the place that we go but we are allow to use only sound to represent the place. At first I think it is very hard to do because there is some place that I think difficult to make sound such as the place like the grave and the sound of traffic light. But when we think over and over I came with the solution. It is true that the traffic light not have the sound and how I want to show that the traffic light are green or red? so I come with  the solution that is I make the sound of screeching of the car that will show that the car are break and want to stop. For the other way I make the sound of the car with the big typo and it show that the car are press the paddle and want to start to move.
Other than that I find out that although we use the different typography with the same color it will make the the map not look like a map. Therefor I use a difference of color to make it look more interesting and nice. I use the negative and positive technique for the rood to make it clear and can differentiate between the rood and the building along the rood side.

This is my first experiment using the software.

I think it is interesting because I start exploring the software by myself and learnt more about it. I can use more type of the typo and use a different size of it to make it look interesting. But I find out that sometime when we use our hand writing it will be more interesting but it's ok, because it just exploration and experiment for us to get some knowledge.

This is my experiment using hand writing and the process make it.

This is part of my work, I think it look interesting because we can write freely on it and also can make shape from it. I use different color of ball pen so it will look more interesting because people like to see thing which have 2 or 3 difference color. I also make the typo with a difference type and difference size.

This is my final art work for this task.

Critical Thinking [midpoint review]

Midpoint Review

Critical thinking is the one of the  subject that I think need me to think harder from the first week until now. from this subject I learnt to look at the object and try to think critically like in the first week I need to use my imagination to think what I can made or draw with sugar case and the feather. Other than that I also learnt how to make my own typography. To design my own typography we need to really understand the structure of the typo and identifying what kind of way we want to make either using shadow, light or color paper. For my typography I using the color paper and the origami style.

Beside that from this subject I learnt to know my peer deeply trough their character. One of the task need us to describe about our self in 5 words. Therefore, we sit down and discuses what other peer know about our self. Sometime when we do task like this it make me realize about something that I do not know about my self but other person see it in our self and it could be right and could be wrong. After that we need to experiment using the software what type of typo should we use to represent the word and what color should we use to make it look attractive and representing the word.

    The peer opinion also very important to this subject because sometime we cannot see what other peer see in our work. Their opinion are very useful for us to improve our quality of work such as the task that we need to describe our self in 5 words. From our peer we can know what their opinion about our work and sometime they also give a tip to us for improve our work.

Lastly, from this subject I also learnt how to interpret the sound that we heard to the word. I learnt that not easy to interpret a sound sometime when we interpret it into the word it will produce other sound when other person read it. Other than that I learnt that when we sit down at some place we can heard many sound an this sound are very interesting. Beside that I also learnt to think critically about the sound of some place that is difficult to interpret it such as the sound of the house. It make me think hard and imagine what the sound that the house produce.

In conclusion I think this subject is a very interesting subject that require me to think deeply about something. This subject not only need my brain to be use but also my eye,ear and other part of my body to be functions for a good quality of work. Other than that the peer opinion also help in this subject because their opinion sometime will solve our problem in our work.

Task 1 : Think Hard

Create a set of alphabets on an A2 size piece of paper or card without using any mark making.

 I need to choose a word that will represent myself so I choose the word ‘VERSATILE’. Versatile mean have a many difference skill. I use the origami technic to form alphabets. I have to identify which part that I must fold and which part that I must cut also which part that I must keep to make it look like an alphabets.

After I get the structure of the alphabet I start using color to make the word look clearer and this is my first experiment.

 From this experiment I notice that the color was dull and cannot see the word that I make. So I make a new one this time I use the white background and I color the word with difference color to make it look more attractive. Other than that I use difference color because it suitable with the word ‘VERSATILE’.

After I finish everything I notice that the backgrounds are messy so I decide to make some mark making to cover the messy. I use the technic spatter on the wet paper. At first it looks nice but maybe I put to many water and then the color mix and it became like this:

I use the origami video in you tube as my reference for making this alphabets.

Learning outcomes

From here I learn design cannot be expected because some time when the incident happen in design it will give you an expected result and it will give a better result.

Task 1

ANATOMY OF TYPOGRAPHY

     We do some research about this topic and we also do a brainstorm in the class.

      Anatomy is a body structure like arm, ear, leg, and etc. the typography has their own element we call it character that include individual letter, numeral, or punctuation mark. Therefor the anatomies of typography are the structure of the letter. The characteristic of the anatomy typography like aperture, arm, ascender, base line, bowl, counter, cross bar, descender, diagonal stroke, ear, finial, hairline, ligature, link, loop, lowercase, serif, shoulder, small caps, spine, spur, stem, tail, terminal, uppercase, x-height and many more.

• Aperture

Is the opening at the end of an open counter example:

• Arm.

Is a horizontal stroke that not connected on the one or both end.

• Baseline

Is the invisible line that the latter sit 

• Bowl

A curve stroke that enclose a letter’s counter

• Counter

Fully or partially enclose space within a letter

• Ear

A small stroke projecting from the upper right bowl of some lowercase g’s

• Hairline

The thin stroke of a serif typeface

• Serif

‘Feet’ or non-structural details at the end of some stroke.

• Shoulder

A curve stroke originating from the stem like the letter ‘m’ ‘n’ ‘h’ 

• Stem

Is a primary vertical stroke

   

 All this characteristic are part of the typography and it all important to build a letter. The characteristic of the typography is important like how important the part of our body to complete the whole human body.

This is a picture that we snap when doing the presentation about brainstorm on anatomy of typography

Subj : Critical Thinking
Lect : Mr. Kamarul

We are ask to pick 2 thing and draw 10 picture from the thing that we have pick.

So this is my drawing may be not nice but I try my best to draw it.

This is the 2 thing that I have picked:

1. Feather

2. Sugar case

1. The sun and the flower.

From here I understand that the flower need the sun to grow and to get energy same goes to human, human need sugar to get the energy to do a lot of work in a day.

2. The eye.

Every human being use eye to see and record what happen in their daily life and the eye are very important part of the body. Without eye human being will feel very difficult to move and do a job. It same goes to the function of the sugar, our body needs sugar to gain the energy. If our body do not have sugar we will feel weak.

3. The snail.

The shape of the sugar case are round so I think it is similar with the shell of the snail.

4. The tortoise.

 The shell of the tortoise is round so I put the sugar case at the back of the tortoise and it look like the shell of the tortoise. We as a human need sugar if our body contains less sugar we will feel weak and do not have energy. When we not have energy the work that we want to do will be slow like a tortoise.

5. An orange

The shape of orange are circle same shape with the sugar case. Orange have a lot of vitamin and inside the orange also contain sugar that need in our body.

6. The lizard.

The pattern of the feather like a tiger fur so I imagine that the pattern on the lizard body.

  7. The pen.

The ends of the feather are sharp and also look like a pen. It has been use long time ago.

8. Cover of the Keris

The pattern of the feather very nice and it will be nice if we use it as a cover of the Keris.

9. Perfume bottle.

The pattern of the feather can be the cover of the perfume bottle and the end of the feather look like the tube in the perfume bottle.

10. Dress.

The feather pattern can be the new design for the dress and it looks nice.

WHAT I GET FROM THIS ACTIVITIES

* Try to think faster and always think creative.

* Don't scare to make a mistake

* Try to think something that outside of the box about the thing.
