PROJECT 1 - ARTWORK

Week 5 (12/05/2020)

This week, we start to do our very first project and this project, we're going to make key artwork, and here is my research about The ABC's Bauhaus Design Theory and sketch idea.

Fig 1.1: Sketch 1
Fig 1.2: Sketch 2

Fig 1.3: First attempt
Fig 1.4: Second attempt
Fig 1.5: Third attempt

Fig 1.6: Fourth attempt

Fig 1.7: Fifth attempt
Fig 1.8: Sixth attempt

Fig 1.9: 7th attempt

Fig 1.10: 8th attempt

Fig 1.11: 9th attempt


Fig 1.12: 10th attempt
Fig 1.13: 11th attempt


Fig 1.14: 12th attempt

After I got feedback, Mr.Vinod said that 11th attempt has the opportunity to be key artwork. So I work more and set 11th as my idea to improve.

Fig 1.15: Process
Fig 1.16: 13th attempt #1

Fig 1.17: 14th attempt #2
Fig 1.18: 15th attempt #3, #4, #5, #6
Fig: 1.19: 16th attempt #7

Fig 1.20: 17th attempt #8, #9
Fig 1.21: 18th attempt #10,#11
Fig 1.22: 19th attempt #12

Then I showed it to Mr.Vinod. And Mr.Vinod said #11 (Fig 1.21) and #1 (Fig 1.16) is interesting and Mr.Vinod gave me feedback on that to improve more.

Fig 1.23: Improvement for #1
Fig 1.24: Improvement for #11
After got feedback again, I improve more and Mr.Vinod choose number #1C.

Fig 1.25: Final Improve 1

Fig 1.28: Final Improve 4

Fig 1.29: Final Improve 5

Fig 1.30: Final Improve 6

Fig 1.31: Final Improve 7

Fig 1.32: Final Improve 8

And after all the journey, this is the final that has been approved.

FEEDBACK

Week 6
General Feedback: We should do enough research and do a sketch first before begin to do the project. Begin with black and white colour.  
Specific Feedback: Do black and white first, and there's a potential to key artwork from one of my work after I work more and try to create a new idea, Mr.Vinod likes one of my artwork, and said that that one has a potential to be a good key artwork.

Week 7
General Feedback: Do sketch and finish your key artwork then you can move on to making the collaterals.
Specific Feedback: I gave a few choices to Mr.Vinod and he said No 11 is quite interesting. Suggestion (No 11 interesting, but add design theory within that space, also the black patch that has been created due to the circle and triangle if that shape can mean something would be an added strength other than than the first second one is pretty good (1 especially) the pencil is a nice touch having a division line for the A just leave it as it is instead what you can do is for the B and the U the pencil basis you can draw like a sliding curve on the B and the slide curve of the U in the circular O, so like the pencil drawing the line instead of just being aligned) as though the pencil drew it. Then it comes together pencil-scribble.



REFLECTION

EXPERIENCE:
Week 6: When I experience this whole situation when we have to be rush on our project, I was overwhelmed. I was stressed because my key artwork didn't get accepted. But I try my best so that my work got accepted.
Week 7: Thank God I can get through the whole key artwork and poster thing because I thought my work will never be good enough and will not ever be accepted. Thanks to Mr.Vinod that helps me, and I felt very tired with this whole online class thing, and when I saw MIB we're late 2 weeks and I felt more depressed because we need to work fast and I can't rush my idea.

OBSERVATION:
Week 6: I feel that everyone's tired and I thought it's only me, but it almost most of the class felt what I felt, but some of them doing a great job.
Week 7: I realize some of my classmates gone, and I don't know why maybe because they're sick from working too hard (?).

FINDINGS:
Week 6: I found that even though we're tired we need to finish our task. There's no relief for us, we need to work normally as what's has planned by our lecturer. 
Week 7: Whatever we've been through, we can finish the responsibility that we have throughout the day.




FURTHER READING


Week 6

Fig 2.1: Typography referenced
Type designer was realise in many ways. Some designer work alone, other collaborated yet still retained independent control of their ultimate work. In the early 1900s, most type designers worked for large companies or foundries, during the later part of the century technology, an ever growing demand for a new typefaces, and access to the increasing of internet user, they need and desire for an new and innovative type design. Some good example of great type designers are, John Baskerville with his Baskerville typeface, Giambattista Bodoni with the Bodoni's type, William caslon, Firmin Didot and others.
