Principles Of Design
Assignment 1A : Mind Map

Lecture:
Class started with Ms Lisa introduce herself and explain briefly about what is Principles Of Design (POD) is all about. She went to through the model outline and explain about the TGC concept as well as how the POD classes can make us achieve those TGC criteria. Ms Lisa also told us that she would be away for the whole month because she would be flying off to London. Despite her absent she said Mr Ernesto will be looking after the class on Tuesday afternoon. For that day she gave our first assignment (1A) and we had to complete it by the next class which was in a few hours. In the afternoon class she reviewed our work and gave feedback on our drawings and effort that we put in to complete the assignment. In addition to that, after checking and going through all the other students's work she then gave another assignment (2A) to fill up the month that she was going to be away. Ms Lisa gave us 4 weeks to study about Art Movements from around the world and then pick an Art movement that represent ourself, then do a self portrait of ourself using that art movement. I was lucky enough that Ms Lisa said we could also print our final product, means that i could design and do it in the computer.



Instructions: Assignment 1A (Mind Map)
Having learned that Principles Of Design basically is our life as a design student. We had to think quick and know what we want to do something. Therefor, we had to know ourself. 

1. Do a Mind map representing ourself and what is important in our lives. 
2. Make your mind map easy to read and colourful as can be so that it will attract other people to see.

Instructions: Assignment 2A (Self Portrait)

2. Your final product can be done on any type of material.
3. Paste your final product on a black A2 size mounting board with 2 inch border on the top & side. 3 inch for the bottom. 

Research:-

My choice of Art movement is Low Poly Art. Basically, Low poly is a bunch of polygon merge to make 3D graphics. Low poly art occur in real-time applications (e.g. games) and contrast with high poly meshes in animated movies and special effects of the same era. The term low poly is used in both a technical and a descriptive sense; the number of polygons in a mesh is an important factor to optimize for performance but can give an undesirable appearance to the resulting graphics - Wikipedia. 

The artist that i have look into are Timothy J. Reynolds and a local artis by the name of Dribblack.

The Final Product.


Synopsis (100 Words)

I Began by selecting a Passport picture of myself so it would actually be easier for me to construct the man small, medium and large triangle polygon that i will be doing it individual on my face. Then, by looking at the sample picture, i begin to start at the most difficult part which was doing the eyebrow and my eye. Those are the smallest part and has the most details. So it look me about a week just to finish a part of my eye. 
It took me around 2 weeks to finish the rest of my face and filling all the empty spaces plus 1 week to do some minor touch up here and there. After that it took me few days to create the background which later i erase the rest of my body face and just pasted my face onto the background. Lastly i added my personal "AE" watermark just to state that its my artwork. Overall it was a very fun experience for me to try and do something that ive never done before. Im happy with my outcome and hope i can get good feedback.
