Project 3 Ego FINAL

In this project, I’m going to express myself as a cartoonish cat. I feel the lazy cat is similar to my characteristics hahaha. The ideas will say about me but the outcomes are going to be illogical and out of the box. So here are the finals.

1st Idea

In this one, I wanted to show that I’m a person that really enjoys great foods. I like to try all kinds of different foods.

Therefore, the first box shows me (the cat) with its stomach growling and its going to look for food. => It goes to a buffet with lots of variety of food. => There are foods growing out of its head.

Colour Palette

I chose many bright and powerful colours for this idea. They are more of the light saturated colours. It is to show the excitement and happiness of the cat.

2nd Idea

Sometimes when I watch horror movies, I always feel that the ghost seems fake and find it funny.

So, it goes like the cat showing a carefree face.=> Then it went to the cinema to watch horror movies.=>Then it is judging how the ghost looks and imagine itself with the ghosty looks.

Colour Palette

I chose very contrasting colours for this idea. Greyscale and some reddish colours used in order to bring out the scary and shocking feels in it.

3rd Idea

I am always believe in Buddhism and I like to visit places like the temple and such places.

Therefore, it goes like the cat is praying. => It went to the temple. => It transformed into a fortune teller at the temple and its doing some fortune telling for the people.

Colour Palette

Since its related to religion, I chose dull, serious and quiet colours. Not many colours used, only some greyscale tones, brownish and yellowish colours.

4th Idea

I really love animals and and stuff especially fishes and turtles, therefore I came out with this idea.

It shows the cat playing with a koala in the first one. => Then, it goes to the zoo. => It camouflaged itself inside the zoo with all the other animals.

Colour Palette

Vibrant colours chose for the first and second panels to bring out the enthusiasm and passion for the animals.

Simple colours like only green and black are used for the last panel as to show that it is camouflaging.

See you next Sem 2D

2D Forrest Gump FINAL

Hi here’s my final designs of the selected movie quotes.

1st Quote

For this quote, it makes me think of elements such as warmth and snow. So I used an image of a house in a winter night which gives a calm and warm feel. At the top right, it is a snow globe and inside it is a snowflake. Like the snowflake is trapped inside the globe. Create a contrast of the white snowflake and the black globe. On top of it is crown of Elsa (half-toned) in the movie. I tried to place them off centre to make it not so balanced. Light rays at the top left, half-toned, to leave out some space in the whole design. Half-toned texture makes light rays more gentle. Overall, I tried to make the snowflake the dominant one with all the other elements supporting it.

2nd Quote

Its pretty straight forward. I used elements such as the pixelated snowman, christmas tree, ginger bread man and snowflake. The background is actually a snow texture if you look carefully. Then, there’s a snowflake layer overlay on top of it. There’s a repetition of ginger bread man on top of that. Its pattern is to make it not so uniformed. I tried to play with depth here. The trees below are of different scale and sizes which added in another texture in the composition. The focus is still the snowman and a white shape is used under it to create contrast out of the whole thing.

3rd Quote

Elements such as piano, painting of Chopin and the crystal light were chosen in this composition. The picture of the old piano room was used to provide a variety of things to catch the viewer’s eye. An paper texture is multiplied to create the dusty and aged feel. The paintings are repeated and its almost placed at the 1/3 of the composition. The crystal light is placed in the middle. It is to create a balance in composition and it is more emphasised because of its contrasting brighter colour. Overall, it gives a classical and mysterious feeling.

4th Quote

For this design, elements such as bullet, skull, fire, and bacon were chosen. I tried make the skull the most dominant in the whole composition. Its duplicate and its white silhouette really brings it out. The layer of bacon has a unique texture which adds a different feel. The fire surrounded it gives it a strong emphasis. The spiral at the background act as leading lines and directs the focus point to the skull too. The roll of bullets create a sense of movement in the composition. They were arranged in a flow which gives dynamism to the design. Another giant bullet is placed at the bottom right corner as to play with the sense of distance in it.

Thats all for my Forrest Gump Project YAY
