Overall reflection

Actually I find this module very taxing (As in it wears out my brain juice) BUT! This is also the module that I've enjoyed the most throughout this semester. I'm more illustrator-based when doing my designs which explains why my designs are all quite cartoonish. I love drawing vector graphics!

design principles? layout? abstraction process? rules of 3rd? fibonacci? golden rule? what the...?! I never knew such things before BUT! now I actually start to consider all these when designing stuffs.

Personally, sometimes I feel quite intimidated by my peers and get demoralized. Their works are so so so good and appealing. I've learnt a lot from my peers throughout all the critique sessions. Sometimes having a 3rd party to see your work helps a lot because everyone views things differently.

But anyway, I think I'll miss this module a lot.

Assignment 5 (Fighting Climate Change) - FINAL

Final piece:
I took this comical approach as it can both appeal to kids and also to adults. Initially I designed this infograph for kids to understand the importance of trees and hopefully to build their interest in planting a tree. (Kids are indeed more curious).

However, when I showed it to some of my friends, they liked the infograph too. Although they did not say if they will actually plant a tree. But they get the gist of the messages by looking at what the trees were doing.

So yea I chose this for my final piece.
