RECAP:
WEEK 7:

After exercises, here comes our first project, SELF-PORTRAIT. We need to combine all the design principles that we learnt on the exercises and create a self-portrait of ownself.

Self-portrait is about me, the true me and how I see myself. It is a good project to know ourself and show the true us to others.

Week 8:
Independent Learning Week, continue designing.

IDEAS:

Fig 1.1 First Idea

Fig 1.2 Second Idea

Fig 1.3 Final Idea

For first and second idea, I just think it simple. A devil me and angel me combine in first idea, a sorrow me under a happy mask in second idea. After viewing some works from classmates, I'm thinking that first and second idea is too simple for the sketches/background. Therefore, I came out with the third idea is also my final idea. The final review people's four big expression ( happy, sad, angry and joy ). The guy that have no head is describing people that don't have own emotion, they just show what others want them be like.
