Week 03 2D Design

GROUP EXERCISE

= Creative thinking techniques =

o Generating design ideas – random word combos
o Inventing options – making variations

• •  5 mins - Read W03 Creative Thinking in Handouts
  
• •  25 mins - Each group creates ONE word combo
  
• •  Each person in the group creates TWO 2D design options - based on the chosen word combo
• 
  
• 
  

We all pick 2 word from the list for self, than combine into group. I choose "cherry and ball" and thinking about cherry flavour food or cherry colour basketball sort of thing. I think is a bit lazy choice because they are both the same shape. Cherill pick "cherry and cloud" from the list. I like this combination, I think it's romantic and creative. Both of girls in the group had "cherry" so we decide cherry as our first word combo and guys choose another which is Paul 's favourite "skull". This is a big challenge for me because skull is never my thing and never be my style. 

The only thing came out from my small brain in the first minutes is the skull with cherry stalk. But how come skull got a cherry stalk. So I just image a cheery with stalk got 2 bite than looks like a skull. I thought I've got a cherry as body, so the other one I wanna swap to make skull as body. So I made a skull who always wants a cherry tattoo before she die ......I put colour blue as base because skull is kind of blue, pale and gloomy thing.

Practical - Design Options

40 mins - Draft a range of 3 excellent design concepts for your exhibition portfolio 

• Use any tools you wish
• Put the results and a paragraph of description in your blog
• Invent 2 different options for each of the 3 designs
• Describe how each of these options differ in  

             。Shape    。media     。Style

Or any 3 criteria of your own choosing - list these criteria clearly

1. Christmas card 

•     Skycity table game christmas card

            Making a christmas card for my work mate. In casino table games, there's nickname for every value of chips. $25 is Pony, $100 is Tiger,  $500 is monkey, $1000 is gorilla and $5000 is banana. All those chips gets together are like a park, I can image all those animals playing under the banana tree.

。Shape : B5 square .

。Media : I'll try to use illustrator to make simplify draw and graphic. Than print out on a colour hard paper as the main card. Print another on a normal white paper, than use different colour hard paper to cut out the shape of all those animals and tree and paste on main card to present a perspective card.

。Style: Realism cartoon 

Brief quick draw by Illustrator for free draw techniques practice. (even say quick draw, still took 1 hour)   

my hand draw

• Christmas card for my personal friends

Shape: piggy shape and about B5 size

Media: Same as skycity christmas card

Style: normal

Research - Airbrush skill

This is small airbrush painting. I think this is more quicker and easy way to make shape and tone than pencil painting. But also very easy to rub everything if not be very carefully. The colour presenting very nice, it can be make like  a print out poster or I could say it is actually much more nice presenting than a print our poster. But need to be very protect self when painting in case of breath in too much ink. 

Amazing airbrush painting. This is what I said better than a print out poster.

Graffiti Fine Art

The common  airbrush paint skill that we can see everywhere. I think they are great painter with more fun and freedom. most of the street graffiti that I've see are good and amazing. I think they must have a lot of practice before that. But where?? A lot of practice means a lot of big wall.  I'm just be very esteem that they are enjoy what they are doing so much.
