2D II Foundation, G1, (AY2015/16 Sem 2)

I experimented with many things for this first project and below are some of the materials I played with. While majority did not make it into my final, I thought it was a good way to experiment with the cut-&-paste style.

My trashy ratchet journal if it can still be considered a visual journal…but yay for cheap handmade journal, complete Read more →

I’ve kind of saved up all my process work so I’ll be putting them all into this masterpost!

I initially wanted to do Tarot cards for my Typography project, but I decided to save it for my POV project after some advice from Prof Ina. However, I decided to put that idea aside because I wasn’t very enthusiastic about ascribing meaning Read more →

Here are some images of the process of assembling the final postcard. I created a plastic sleeve with the moiré screen and the text descriptor printed on. The actual frames of the animation were printed on a separate piece of paper that was inserted into the sleeve. The movement of the slip inside creates the animation.

The last and final postcard was going to created to represent three-dimensionality. Of late, I had been working more and more with digital 3D techniques and I wanted one of these postcards to reflect that.

My initial idea for this design was to use one-point anamorphic. Anamorphic statues and designs are works that only reveal themselves to the viewer when standing Read more →

The third postcard was meant to explore the contrasting relationship between analogue and digital. For this design, I wanted to show my tendencies in working with digital mediums as opposed to print and traditional materials. However, I wanted to take a reversed approach with the execution of this design. Instead of using code to create a work or design, I wanted Read more →

For the second postcard, I wanted to address the brief more directly and take it on from a typographic angle. As a designer, I am always looking around and paying attention to the typography that I see around me. I also have a habit of taking photographs of interesting type that I come across on the streets. For this design, Read more →

The brief of this assignment called for us to create typographic responses to a facet of ourselves. This particular design was intended to show how “I am a multi-disciplinary artist” by being able to work with and create ideas across disciplines with visual and sound based works. As such, I wanted to work around the concept and imagery of sound. The only ‘issue’ with Read more →

Seeing as to how animation would be the constant in all the designs, I needed to carry out some experimentations into how the moiré animation technique really worked. I have previous experience in digital and stop-motion animation and I found that this was useful in understanding the technique better and working faster.

There are mainly two aspects to the moiré method. The first Read more →

I spent some time thinking about the multidisciplinary pairings for my final four postcards and come up with the following. I will also cover the possible processes that I might be taking to complete each of the post cards. All the cards will share a starting point of moiré (slit) animation.

1. Sound

The first pairing would be sound and animation. I find Read more →

Now that I had my direction and descriptor, I had to decide in what ways I am going to push the brief and the series. I had already decided that all the postcards will share the same descriptor. As such, I had to figure out four unique ways to demonstrate various aspects of multidisciplinary. While digging further into the crossroads between interactivity and Read more →
