Illustration and Visual Narrative



LECTURE

Week 1

On week 1, we were all briefed regarding the general overview of our module.

we also had an exercise by doing the Bezier game which I found to be quite interesting to play. Its a very fun way of learning the toold of adobe illustrator. 


We were also briefed about out Task that would be due on the next week.

We were tasked to create a character using the toolds of adobe illustrator. Which I am quite excited about because I love consuming media that has interesting characters and I am intrigued what I can come up with with this task.


Week 2

On week 2 we are guided through the steps on how to start with our character creation process. we are tasked to create a table that contains who, where, trait, and twist. This will help us brainstorm and generate information. after generating at least 10 prompts of each category, we will then randomize which traits go with which by using an online dice roller.

who is for us to decide the type of character that we are going to create. something that we can visualize and imagine what kind of character it would be.

Where is for us to create a space for the character to live in. it is the location where we should put the character in. placing them in a setting that instantly shapes the mood and design choices. However we do not have to match the who and where.

Trait is for use to give the character a personality so it can describe how they look and act.

Twist is an unusual or surprising element that usually makes the character unique and memorable.



Above is the prompts I came up with. After compiling all of this. I proceed to use the die roller to create a blend of random prompts together. Below are the 5 results

1.    Musician located in swamp that has a rude personality with fangs

2.    Goblin located in the desert who is stubborn and wears a headband

3.    Zookeeper located in desert that has a mischievous personality and has fangs

4.    Mermaid located in forest who is mean and wears a headband

5.     Goblin located in snow who is rude and has glowing eyes


Week 3

For this week, mr. Fitri explains the basics on how to use adobe illustrator. Starting from the very basic of creating an art board and then fitting our character image into it. The step by step tutorial is very thorough and easy to understand. All of the details is kept in ppt format in teams for us to return to as reference to guide our work easily.

In this project, we are going to finalize our idea, compiling it into a set of information and data. For the final project, we are all tasked to create a tiktok account that holds all of the research and output of our task. The tiktok account that we are posting them in will be a compilation of videos based on our work that we have worked on for the task within the semester. As our main topic is about the everyday design, we as a group have decided to pick the main focus of traffic signs in Indonesia as a point of interest. We emphasized how traffic is so prevalent not only in Indonesia, but throughout various densely populated countries like Malaysia as well, that it has became a culture of its own. Bad driving habits has contributed to the horrible traffic across the countries that it has turned into an everyday culture.  As a group, we decided to tackle one of the sign that has contributed to the horrible congestion and bad driving culture, which is the “belok kiri jalan terus” ...
