Does this look happy to you?
In week 11, we learned about typography by using Adobe Illustrator. We were taught to create our own font by using width tool/twirl tool. We were require to create 2 own fonts. Above 2 are my fonts. Enjoy! :)
3 different colour papers, scissors & tape 
In week 9 & 10, we learned a different thing from usual class, which is to fold a crane and by doing that, we will be covering 2 chapters in only 1 class! We were require to bring 3 different colour papers, scissor and tape to class. At first, I have no clue about what we are doing at all. Bit by bit, I really love the way how Ms. Ivy taught us. It's a very practical thing and by using this method, it makes us so easy to understand everything!
First, we were ask to fold a crane by referring to a website (for those who doesn't know how to fold a crane). Next is to fold a base to insert our crane. We were ask to write down a few words.There's "Position" and "Orientation" on the top left of the base. So, when you fold that particular part, there will be a "V" point which meansa vanish point is same as perspective. It formulates "Detail", "Linear" and "Ariel". "Time" and "Illusions" are on the lower left. Illusions means 2D and 3D creates illusions with motion movement. Next, "Light/Brightness" and "Monocular Cues" are on the top right of the base. Light/Brightness means that colour is the same as value and those can be texture gradient. Whereas Monocular Cues is depth cue which results only using ONE way - linear. At last, there's "Binocular Cues" and "Motion" on the lower right. Binocular cues means depth cue which results of BOTH way seeing with both eyes to perceive parallax. All the above that I have mentioned is a 2D and 3D visual perceptions that Ms. Ivy have taught us in the class. It is really helpful for us to remember everything now Hello readers, in week 8, we were require to do complete a quiz within a few days. Which is to beautify a women's face by using Adobe Photoshop. Ms. Ivy wants us to apply every skills that we have learned throughout these few weeks. The original picture was given by Ms. Ivy and the first thing I did is to use clone tool to smoothen the face texture. Next is to draw eyeliner on the eyes. What I use was a pencil tool in black colour and reduce the opacity to 35% and zoom in to the eyes to draw a thin eyeliner. After that, I put on the blusher by using brush tool in orange/pink colour with very low capacity to make it look natural. The last thing I did is to search for 'eye shadow's colour' in google. And I found something silver-ish colour to make it as the eye shadow. Taaa-daaa! There you go!
In week 6 & 7, we have learned how to edit the colour of a gangnum by using pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. It was really tiring to complete this task. This was our Assignment 3, therefore I really spent a lot of time and effort doing it. Kept changing colour to make it look perfect. It was not easy at all, I have to edit every single part. The hardest was the head because it is too detail. Overall, I am quite happy with the output as shown below. Because I know I have did my best. So, there you go, My tracing!
At the first week of class, I have totally no idea about how to use Photoshop and what is it about. Step by step, our Visual Communication lecturer, Ms. Ivy taught us how to use Photoshop by creating a new file, starting by renovating home at zero cost, changing wallpaper, cloning tool, pen tool, etc. Moving on until today, I have slowly learn how to edit my own pictures and making a commercial advertisement. Although it's not a perfect/professional one, but I do enjoy doing it.
Besides, I really enjoy a lot during Visual Comm's subject as it teaches me a lot of interesting things that I did not know before this. Hoping forward for a awesome and happy class session throughout this whole semester!   It was quite a hard time finding relevant pictures for this exercise, I even spent my whole night searching up and down for these pictures. Lucky that I could find all within a night with more than 10 magazines and newspapers all around me.
Create & Design
To me, Create & Design is about coming up with something new and beautify it with our own creativity!  Throughout the first session of Visual Comm class, I am impressed with Ms. Ivy's teaching method and I'm sure we will have a great time throughout this whole semester. In the first class of Visual Comm, we have learned the Principal of illustration and there are more to go!
