NM3217 In-Lecture Exercise B



This picture is drawn by soosh, an illustrator with an account name @Vskafandre on Instagram and Youtube, displaying her artworks. 

The picture shows a parental relationship between a father and his daughter, and both of them are sleeping on a bed.

The parental relationship are presented as a loving one, where the father can be seen giving his daughter the most space on the bed, and sleeping on the edge of the bed. This is despite the fact that the father is of a much bigger size than the daughter. This shows how the father wants to provide as much comfort for his daughter as much as possible by giving her more space to sleep, hence displaying his consideration and love towards her as he does not minding how he might be uncomfortable due to him sleeping in such a narrow space. Moreover, the father and daughter are lying back to back, therefore emphasising that both the father and daughter rely on each other and there is a strong bond between them. The relationship therefore is a loving, caring one, displaying the undying parental love that parents can have for their children.

The implication and effect of this picture might be that people might reflect on their own relationships with their children or their parents, and be more grateful for whatever their own parents have done for them, or reflect on anything the parents themselves can do more for their own children.

The success of the piece is most probably how it display the beautiful, selfless parental love, and is able to touch the hearts of many people to see this picture.
The shortcomings is perhaps that it did not reflect the ugly side of parental relationships, where parents can abuse their own children as well.

Typography Case Study What seems to be off about this particular typographic representation? All letters are in capital letters and slab serif typefaces makes this particular typographic seem to be off. Having all capital letters means that the letters all  have the same relative height and same relative width, and blocky shape. This makes it difficult for the eyes to flow through the text, and makes the text seem overbearing. The slab serif typeface makes creates a loud bold image as well. Thus, using all caps and slab serif typefaces decreases readibility of the words. Central alignment is used, but it is the weakest and the hardest alignment as it makes it hard to read. This is because there is no consistent starting and stopping point for each line so your eyes take a moment to adjust in each line, making this particular typographic representation seem very off. The leading is low which makes the words seem crammed, decreasing readibility of the words. ...

Assignment 1 - Stripping Down

The item chosen to abstract is a yellow Kanken bag, and I used Adobe Photoshop to adstract it.  Stage 1 I extracted out all the details of the Kanken bag and drew the bag out on Photoshop, so as to retain the organic look of the bag. I also used yellow to colour the bag, and used its shades to display the shades/shadows on the bag. This gives a realistic illustration of the bag, making it easy to recognise that it is a yelloww kanken bag, like the one in the picture at Stage 0. I intentionally left the logo of the kanken bag white as I wanted to draw the attention of the viewer to the logo, and highlight that it is a Kanken bag Stage 2 To abstract it further, I chose to draw the bag in a 2D form, and drew the bag in a rectangle shape with rounded edges, as a Kanken bag is rectangular in shape. I did not colour it yellow, as I wanted to remove the details of the differing shades of the bag. However, I retained all the details of the bag, such as the zig-zag crosses on t...

Assignment 2: Storytime!

The story I have chosen for this assignment is something that many students, including me, would have experienced in their academic journey. It follows a person who failed a test which caused her to feel extremely defeated. A close friend comforts her and teaches her, and helps her to get a good grade eventually. Picture 1:  The person receives her results in test 1. She sees that she has failed her test, getting a 3/20 and an F grade, and a note to see the teacher.  Over the shoulder shot is used here to emphasise the bad grade that she has gotten.  Medium close up shot is also used here to show the details of her hair and clothes Picture 2: The reaction of the person towards her grade can be seen here. She looks defeated, which is shown on how shes staring at the test paper looking very down and upset A long, high angle, reaction shot is used to emphasise how small and weak she is, portraying her loneliness, and that there is no one to help or comfort her...
