Today's class front part, our lecturers given some feedback for student's
sketches. As I concerned, most students' job is perfect and having many
different ideas. After the review, Miss Jennifer taught us how to use
Adobe Illustrator for create our character using it. On tutorial time, we
started to do it by ourselves.

Today's lecture is talking about composition.
Types of Shots / Compositions:
- Establishing
- Bird's Eyeview

- Worm's Eyeview
Composition Rule 1:
A balanced distribution of
POSITIVE VS NEGATIVE spaces

After the lecture, Miss Jennifer is starting to teach us some illustrator
skill for our exercise. The skill is about to add some shadows on our
character.
The skill is noted as:
- gradient
- copy the object and make it darker
For today's practical, we are required to upgrade our character with
shadows and also do a card game's card with our character.
The result is shown as below:
Fig 3.1 [The Botty] with shadows
Fig 3.2 Card Game Deisgn
My card design is referring to Pokemon Trading Card Game(PTCG) VMax card.
The weakness, resistance and retreat concept of my card is utilize the
concept of PTCG. The skill also similar to PTCG's.
Also, as a card, we need some design on the back.
Fig 3.4 Card Game Design - Back
My theme of the card game is BOT WAR, so
the back is designed to show it out. And because it is a 'war', so my logo
is <anti-love>, the meaning is no peace and love, just like what the
'war' means.
[WEEK 4| 16.09.2021]
Today's lecture is continuation of composition, the
PERSPECTIVE.
Perspective is:
- to create depth
- an illusuion
- an representation of objects
- from a 2D surface to create a 3D optical illusion
So, today we are gonna to do a background for our card game.
Fig 4.1 Card Game Design with Background
My concept of the background is that the war had destroyed thw world
until oneplace have many different terrain. As shown, the background
have red sand dessert, original dessert and volcano that started to
explode.
Not like before, the background changed from 2D to 3D, so the shadow
having some changes.
