Design Studio Conceptualization

Subj : Design Studio Conceptualization
Task 2 : Process Book

Create a structure by utilizing such units in an interlocking manner.
We need to take picture as many as we can and than we need to use the picture as a mark making. After that we need to edit the picture using the software like photo shop and illustrator.
This is some picture that I take as an example of this task.

Mark making is a effect from the thing like pen on paper, water color on paper, scratching mark in plaster, or anything that leaves a mark on the page are call mark making.

I must create my own mark making by using anything. I have try to use the Chinese brush to make a mark making, and this is the result 

From here we can see the color of the ink went we use the difference material. Some of the mark making in this picture are made by brush and some are made by the Chinese brush. we also can see the difference effect when we use more water or less water in the color portion.

This is the mark making that I made using the illustrator. From here we can see the movement of the object

Picture 1 : mark making using software

Picture 2 : This is the mark making that I made by using the marker pen

This idea I get from the concept illusion, the repeating of the same color make it look like the illusion and the using of the difference color make it look like a moving object. Other than that The using of the same size of line but from difference direction and using the positive and the negative color. The triangle shape make it look contrast because it have a difference shape and difference color.

  

  For this mark making I use the color from the tube and put it on the plastic and put the paper on it. The mix of the color look nice and I use 3 base color to make it it is yellow, red, and blue. From here we can see the color mixer and contrast of the color.

 Other than that I also use mark Technic by using my finger tip.  

Lastly for this mark making I use the color pencil to make a feather. The combination of many thin line make the feather look soft. The line at the middle of the feather make it look symmetry.  

Learning Outcome

= All the thing around us we can use as a mark making.

= Difference material can produce the difference outcome some time it will look nice

Task 1 : Create A Movie Poster

This task wants me to pick one movie and make a new poster for the movie so I pick the snow white and the seven dwarfs’ movie.

This story is about a beautiful girl, Snow White, takes refuge in the forest in the house of seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother, the wicked Queen. The Queen is jealous because she wants to be known as "the fairest in the land," and Snow White's beauty surpasses her own. The dwarfs grow to love their unexpected visitor, who cleans their house and cooks their meals. But one day while the dwarfs are at their diamond mine, the Queen arrives at the cottage disguised as an old peddler woman and persuades Snow White to bite into a poisoned apple. The dwarfs, warned by the forest animals, rush home to chase the witch away, but they are too late to save Snow White from the poisoned apple. They place her in a glass coffin in the woods and mourn for her. The Prince, who has fallen in love with Snow White, happens by and awakens her from the wicked Queen's deathlike spell with "love's first kiss." 

I think to use the apple as the main object for the movie because the apple is the cause snow white fall sleep and this is the important thing in the story. The apple also represent as a weapon to kill the snow white.

This is my first poster:

From this poster it look like too simple and does not have any story from the poster so I put some smoke to make it look like poisonous. Then I notice that the taglines are not suitable with the image of apple so I need to find a new tagline.

When everything finish I print the poster and it look like something are lack. So I do it again I find what is the important thing in the story and try to summary all in one poster. I decide to make a new poster with the image of apple and the snow.

I choose snow because the snows white are born in the snow and the apples are the cause of snow white fall sleep. I also change the tagline. At first I want to make it in black and white, but it look like the image of the apple not clearer and the name of the actor are too big and the position are not suitable. Finally I decide to rearrange it back and this is the final poster of the snow white.

Learning outcome

Before do something we need to plan everything and the draft is the important thing that we need to do. When we have the draft and we have plan the work will be easier.

Critical Thinking

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 2 : Alternative to Research

I have search about 5 different website about landscape design.

For the first website is www.dynascape.com

This side tells and teach us how to use the software in google to build a modeling landscape. It will teach every single step to make a nice and beautiful landscape in correct and easy way. This side explain the use every single thing in the software. There are 9 steps to follow:

Step 1: download the plugins, components and material structure.

Step 2: bring the CAD drawing into sketch up

Step 3: clean up the imported CAD drawing

Step 4: model the house [or building] and roof

Step 5: model the terrain

Step 6: apply texture

Step 7: replace 2D symbols with 3D models

Step 8: create scenes

Step 9: render the model for presentation

If you follow the entire step you will get a nice and beautiful 3D landscape.

Second website is www.irrigationtutorials.com

For this side it tells us about how to make landscape sprinkler. The landscape sprinkler is one of the important things for the landscape to look fresher and maintain the condition.

The other of this website is Jess Stryker. He gives a several step for us to go through if we want to make a sprinkler at our landscape. The step is:

Step 1: collect all the information such as the measure of your yard.

Step 2: select your equipment. Different equipment has a different function.

Step 3: Place the sprinkler head.

Step 4: create valve zones and draw in pipes

Step 5: the last step is lateral pipe sizes.

Third website is www.the-landscape-design-site.com

From this site it tells us the rule of landscape design. There are several rules for us to know if we want to make a landscape in our house. The rule is:

• Unity
• Simplicity
• Balance
  
• Colour
• Natural transition
• Line
• Proportion
• Repetition

Forth website is www.garden-landscape-design.com

This site tell us the tips that the landscape designer need if their want to begin design. There are several example of the landscape that the landscape designer can take a look and take the tips from this site.

Fifth website is bumilandscape.com

This site encourages us to use the flora as the majority of our landscape. This is because we want to reduce the global warming in our world. By using the green tree or the grass can reduce this entire problem.

Furthermore we need the green plant in our future to still alive. The colour green can make we feel clam and escape from our problem and stress.
