Here is the final design that I had completed. The finishing touch will be a ribbon over it. I had 2 photos but because i taken them in quite a bad lighting so please pardon it :)

Overall i really like the whole feel. My friend love it too haha. Although i know the final output will be subject to changes again cos her wedding is July!

The final comments from Alfred that it is quite good and pleasing. Very soft look and looks very well done.

Assignment 5: Wedding Card Draft

Here is my first 2 drafts of the love theme assignment. I had decided to create wedding invitation card for my good friend, Qq. Her wedding is in July thus it is confirm the actual design will get to print out :) I had chosen 2 different looks with each unqiue colour scheme.

Comments On Design 1

The colour scheme is good and very soft. The overall feel gives a very comfortable and serene look.

Comments on Design 2

Image might not look good. However the whole colour scheme gives a very classic looking card. The line theme gives a very nice finishing.

My thoughts that I may combined the 2 concepts together. The colour scheme will be using Design 2 but with a softer tone like Design 1. Image will be taken off and will use other kind of simple graphics.

Alfred suggest that i can do a more different kind of direction of love card. I thought about it and to my surprise I saw a "break up" Card. Kind of unexpected. Fresh but I still very much prefer Love in a positive direction. So sorry, no fresh idea from me :) I am quite happy and contented to further improve on the wedding invitation card.

Assignment 3: U C what I C - Drafts

What is this assignment all about?

Visual narrative – Telling a story with just 10 pictures

Objectives:
Understanding and overcoming constrains/ problems of representation
Using various representation techniques to communicate your ideas effectively

Important: Story should

Aristotle’s Poetic
Have a plot
A beginning (hooking the audience)
Middle (drama, building tempo)
An ending (with a twist – requirement for this assignment)

My twist.... took me a long time to think. I had explored by doing research on the internet on short stories with a twist. Most were quite difficult to implement and plus this was a visual story with no words involved! Sit back and let me know if you were expecting that. :P








Process: Place camera on the tripod and set to 10 seconds mode. Took the girl in red shirt 10 frames. Girl in black dress took 6 frames. Using photoshop merge the 2 girls together to form this story.

Do give me your comments how I can improve the story and the twist. Let me know if you don't understand what's going on!
