REFLECTION

Typography is definitely NOT easy. There are times when you’d think your assignment would be a walk in the park because it sounds simple, but holy turd it never is.
Typography is like a new dimension. There’s so many new terms to learn and remember, new rules to follow, new techniques to familiarize ourselves to - now, whenever I say “font” to describe a typeface to a friend who did not take typography as a module, I feel like a peasant. Thanks a lot, Typography.

While it is hard, it’s doable. I’ve survived a whole semester, after all (but idk I might’ve failed). There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that I’m done with a typography assignment, because each one is hell, so being done with it is sweet, sweet relief. It’s not to say that none of it is fun - it is. The best part is seeing what others have done for their assignment. It’s amazing how people can come up with different ideas for the same thing, and sometimes come up with a similar one. The worst part is going back to your own work after looking at everybody else’s :’)
Truthfully I do enjoy learning typography. Learning new things is always fun, but putting things I've learnt into practice is, well, less fun. So really, there's nothing wrong with the module itself, it's just me :')

FINAL PROJECT 11.11.2019 Week 12 - Cultural Relationship For this project, I decided to "express" Malaysia's culture through it's traditional clothing. Malaysia is mostly populated with three main races - Malay, Chinese, and Indian. All these three races have their own traditional clothes, of course. I want to try combining all three clothings - for both female and male - into one to depict that these three races is what makes Malaysia.  So I took the highlighted parts and just mash them up. So it's basically a baju kurung and baju melayu with cheongsam and changshan designs, topped with saree's drape and dhoti's scarf. These are things (stereotypically) essential in each three culture's festivals: - Ketupat (Malays) - Chinese Lantern - Rangoli decorations (Indian) (Final work) I wanted to combine the three traditional clothings of the three main races in Malaysia - Malay, Chinese, and Indian - for

 DESIGN EXPLORATION (Week 1 - Week 14) Maisarah bt Muhd Zamri Design Exploration Project 1  Renewal of life · Return: Contemplate human beings' relationship with all things Sketch 1 Sketch 2 Sketch 3 Final Outcome Foldable phone wallpaper Phone wallpaper Animation video "This artwork shows animals of sorts flowing out of Earth that is held by a person, symbolizing the relationship we, as people, share with other walks of life on this planet and how our actions can affect their livelihood. Buildings in the background are depicted to be in the dark, allowing the stars to shine in their natural bright glow." Project 2 Design Elaboration I plan to make a satirical ad for a "nature retreat" resort or something where the facility is built on sacrifices of other living things.  storyboard 1 storyboard 2 storyboard 3 Tranq Haven ad            "Humans, animals, and plants — we all share the same earth.

Game Art: Exercise

 GAME ART 01.09.2023 (Week 1) - 08.12.2023 (Week 14) Maisarah bt Muhd Zamri Game Art Exercise  It is advised that we download "Brawl Stars" (mobile game) and play it as we are going to base our designs on the game.  Fig 1.1 (Character draft - ideation/headshots) Fig 1.2 (Character draft - action pose) Fig 1.3 (Character outfit ideation) Artstyle is inconsistent. Decide on an artstyle (whether it be chibi or not) Worry about outfits later; focus on developing the characters first. More variety in the occupation (not just pirate themed) Initial plan was to design 5 pirate themed characters with different occupations (captain, navigator, marksman, etc) but apparently "pirate" is one thing. So I gotta come up with different, separate occupation/job/profession for different characters.  Fig 2 - Character design For the Mafia character: maybe exclude the cigar. For the Artillery character: he should've been tank.  Add more variety of body types -- rn they're al
