Serene Heng NUS,CNM 22 Dec 88 profile This blog is dedicated to my NM2208 module and it serves as a platform for me to reflect and reminisce upon what I have learnt, created and enjoyed throughout the entire semester. I hope that when the journey finally comes to an end, I would have gained valuable knowledge that will last me for a life time, be it academic based or not. As I read through my archive, I hope to see myself growing yet having fun at the same time. To my friends who viewed this, please enjoy and read it with a light heart. Comments are greatly welcome.

Assignment 6 - Presentation P.S Thank you to the 11 kind-hearted souls who did the poll for me=) The result's out: Blue, White (55%) Pink, White (9%) Grey, Light Blue (18%) Brown, Grey (18%) Total Points Mapped: 11 Guess i'll stick to my original piece then. =) Thanks guys! * For this pair work assignment, I completed it together with Ellen and presented our work to the class during tutorial. We were told to find 1 good and 1 bad poster, analyse them and build a case to support our opinion. The analysis should be based on visual principles including visual form, visual harmony, colour and gestalt principles. We split up the workload where each of us will find a good poster and coincidentally, the posters we found were of on the same theme: Horror/Thriller. In order to be consistent and in sync with the theme, I designed the PowerPoint slides in such a way that it creates the horror atmosphere. It is indeed difficult to find a relatively bad poster nowadays because of the high quality checks. More often than not, posters we have seen are used paid assignments and hence there is a certain level of standard the designer needs to meet. Gestalt's principles are great. So are the other existing rules in this world. However, sometimes, I can't help but feel that we are tied down by these theories and formulae to do our tasks. If we don't meet them, our work might be consider as below average or even worse than that. It's good to learn and use these principles as a guide. But, I guess we really shouldn't dwell on too much or be too particular whether they are being followed all the time. Life should be more interesting than just revolving rules and regulations. |
