assignment 3 more ideas

When im in Penang, i always stumble upon beggars. They ask for money as if they want to rob u. After a while, its start to become routine and i really dont like it. Sorry but the picture are from the internet. Had to google it because i dont have their picture at that time.






These picture does not have any watermark and its free.... Sooo.... 

Assignment 3 ideas

To develop an idea for my assignment, i decided to make a mind map. From there, i can easily focus on a topic that i want to do...




The 1st mind map are basicly about Penang generally. What Penang is all about and what has interest me.



the 2nd mind map shows what in Batu Ferringhi. from here, i start to look at one particular topic. Poverty.

assignment 3 some other picture




















  


I have the advantage of roaming around the cities because we were driving there... My friend's car really help us to move from 1 place to another. With this convenience, i can move around and see what Penang is all about. 

Assignment 3

    In this post, i would like to talk about Penang Island. There is a lot to talk about when it come to Penang. The food, the culture, the scenery, the place of interest, the beach, the landmark and many more.
In this assignment, Mr Bad ask us to pick a topic about Penang Island and do any kind of artwork base on the topic that i choose.

    To do that, I have conduct a research in Penang (with the MA student) and took a lots of picture and observe anything that i can do to complete my assignment.

Assignment 2- final

I decided to go with the 1 that look like a heart shape. After all, my subject is love and the symbol of heart is widely recognized as the symbol of love.

1st


2nd


3rd


The 1st picture shows that I just draw the typography in the shape of a heart. using only pencil, i manage to sketch the shape like that.

The 2nd picture show that i have finish coloring it like in the picture. By using only pastel color, i manage to color my artwork smoothly. 

The 3rd picture shows that using black water color, I carefully painted the edge of artwork to make it look bold and pop from everything else.

The reason why i choose to make my art work like this is because it is simple. The word "FALLING" that i show in this artwork are purposely design like the shape of heart. I purposely place it on the bottom right of the canvas to show the falling motion. I only use 3 color just enough to attract people attention but at the same time will be focusing on the typography. The letter "i" and "n" in the word "falling" are purposely painted in black while others in red. Red are the color of love and black shows doubt, uncertainty and insecure. The background are white to show that falling in love is pure (ha ha). To me, falling in love is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Just like the color for this art work which is red, black and white.

Thank you.

Assignment 2- ideas

The development of this idea comes from different type of source. Some of them by surfing the net, some by personal  idea, some by help from friends and family and many more... Mr Bad told me not to put to much color that it will overshadow the typography which is the main objective for this assignment. I would also like to apply the rules of third on this assignment giving that my 1st assignment does not have that.

1st idea that doesn't go well.



This is good but the color doesn't really attract the
the attention that I want.



Just doing this will give me a lot of ideas. To many 
image give me a lot of ideas.

Assignment 2- reference for typography


I always been fascinated by how the artist convey the typography to look like an image. This kind of typography will become the choice for my artwork in this assignment.
