Instructions
For our final project, our task was to create a poster based on the protest signs we created during week 10.
 |
| 1.1 My sign |
I wrote my sign using a wide flat paintbrush and chinese calligraphy ink.It took a really long time to do cause I wanted all the strokes to be as straight as possible.
 |
| 1.2- Me and my sign |
 |
| 1.3-I began with something similar to my sign but with added red rectangles to emphasise the "you" which I felt like was an important part of the slogan. |
 |
| 1.4-Played with the typeface, the weight and the sizing. |
 |
| 1.5-I wound up creating a LOT of variations. To be honest I would have preferred to use one of the variations on the right that are in black, but Mr Vinod preferred the ones on the left XD |
 |
| 1.6-Chosen poster design. |
 |
| 1.7- Animated version of my poster. |

Reflection
Experience
Week 11- "I hear a lot of talking. I hope there's also a lot of working. I'm rapping." -Mr Vinod
Week 12- This project feels easier than the previous ones somehow?

Observation
Week 11 - It's getting easier for me to produce many variations of an idea
Week 12- I fear that I will never understand kerning. I try to adjust it but it never seems to be enough when I get feedback.
Also the animation took a longer time than I thought it would.

| Minimalism; making things simple can be complex too. |

| I didn't really understand this page , but I think it's about how simple text can be impactful even without excessive visuals to supplement it. |
