PRESENTATION LAYOUT

Practice makes perfect!
In Minor 1 project 2, it is a group work. 

We produced one board for each group.

Now we are taking the project 2 from Minor 1 to do a presentation layout individually.

By having the chance to produce one board with almost complete information,

I played around with the layout.

Since the design is quite rustic, I make the whole board colour scheme brown.

I use the perspective view of the prototype as a hierachy.

But I fail to consider the size of the information I arrange.

Some of the pictures and words are too big.

It is a A1 board.

I feel that the bigger the board is, the more careful I have to be while judging the size of the information.

Another mistake is I didn't include our design ideation.

Ideation is very important to show our design process.

Well, I learn a lot from this board arrangement.

Will do better next time!

=)

MINOR 1 - PROJECT 3 THE NEXT I-CON

So, after building the big prototype, we come back to small prototype!

The very last assignment for minor is to design a reception counter for our Animation studio.

My reception counter is more in industrial revolution style.

So I use rustic steel and glass as material.

After designing, we have to build a scale 1:10 miniature.

My counter is in a curve shape.

I take quite some time to make sure it is in the right curve.

The modeling board is quite difficult to be bend.

But the final out come makes me quite satisfy with it.

The cupboards are all movable!
I individually like it so much~

I enjoy this model making so much!
EXPLORATION
It gives me a chance to explore~

I want more!
haha

Have to wait next semester then

;)

MINOR - PROJECT 2 RE-USE WORKSHOP

This is a big project!
It's a group work.

We need to use recycled material to build a book rack which can fit 100 books.

Vijay, Samaha, Hadis and I are in one group.

This is the first prototype we did.

The design doesn't work.

The rack is shaky and it is too bulky!
OH my gosh~
There is always problems between the design we sketch on a paper and when we create the real one!

But never mind, problems are always with solution.

We just have to FIND it!
Ha!
Here we goes~
A new design!
We cut away half of our design and make it a durable and less bulky book rack.

The design is a 2-in-1 book rack which not just a book rack but user can interact with the furniture.

There is a seat next to the rack.

User can lean on the book rack as back rest.

There is a lighting device hiding in a Tyre.

User can read with efficient lighting.

Our construction method is quite tough which our lecturer asked a question
"If the users want to buy and fixed it themselves, is it possible?"
It's totally impossible!
The connection between tyres are really tough.
But I am happy with the process~
I enjoy building this prototype with my group mates!
We are just so awesome!
Haha~
 

MINOR 1 - PROJECT 1 STARTER PACK

Minor class is a place for us to explore about many things!

The first assignment we get is to understand the structure of a furniture.

We have to search for a furniture that is already been built and suites our Design 3 style.

Then study the structure of it and who is the designer.

FELTY CHAIR- LAMAR PRETORIUS

This is my model

The chair seating, I use 2 normal felt with a aluminium sheet in between to create the shape.

I glued the felt on the aluminium sheet and then sewed the corner for the hand rest part.

I have met some problem while I am doing this model.

The material of the chair's leg is steel.

I have to bend a quite thick steel wire to build the structure.

It needs a lot of strength.

Another problem is "how to connect the wire?"

I cant weld it because it is too thick for welding.

At last I use soldering!

What a relief~

I finally solved the problem!

Sometimes, difficulty might block our way.

But there is always a way to solve it.

We just have to FIND the solution

;)

RELIEF MODEL

Extruding a 2D photo into a 3D model, this is what I have to do.

We have been to Damansara, which is our site for design project.

We have to study a specific building on site and design a space in it.

For viz comm, we have to find an angle of the facade and build a relief model.

This is my very first time doing it.

I am quite exciting because we are going to make a flat image into 3D!

This is the final outcome of my model.

The only thing I did wrongly is the staircase.

It should be straight but not slanted.

A good try!

Although it is time consuming, I have fun while doing it!

PRESENTATION LAYOUT

Completed manual drawing, now we are going into computer SOFTWARE!

The requirement is to grab pictures from internet and do a presentation layout.

At first, my layout is controlled by bubble.

All the information is trapped in a bubble.

It is too rigid.

Then my lecturer gave me some advice and I improved it.

This is the final outcome which I am quite satisfy with it.

Through this process, I know that section must always be in bigger scale than the floor plan.

Elevation is not that important and and be scale down.

All drawing must be labeled with name and scale.

The language of the whole board must be there.

If everything is angled, then can't suddenly put a curved shape in the board.

These are the mistakes I did during this assignment.

And now I know what is the right way to do it!  =)

RAPID VISUALIZATION 6

THE LAST RAPID VISUALIZATION TASK

It is a group work.

My partner Vijay and I produce this work in class between 1 hour time.

We have done some discussion before starting.

After that, we have to start drawing.

I was lack of confident to draw but my partner gave me some encouragement.

Finally we completed between the time given.

Although it is not that perfect, but it is a good try!

RAPID VISUALIZATION 5

WOW!
This is really a big work!
The task is to produce a visualization of a process of traditional food in A1.

I have chosen the Chinese dumpling.

I have done a lot of research and conclude only I proceed to arrangement.

At first, I show the ingredient in a line.

Then I divide the process into 3 parts.

Which is the day before cooking, the day of cooking and wrapping.

We are limited with 3 colours marker.

So I use one to show ingredient, one to show method of preparing and the last one to show seasoning.

The ingredient and process of making a Chinese dumpling is really a lot.

After I have done this work, I think it can be paste in my kitchen as recipe.
Ha! xD

RAPID VISUALIZATION 4

This visualization is about an air-conditioner.

We are free to choose one type of air-conditioner and I chose Split unit Air-cond.

Some research is needed to produce this work.

I show the exploded drawing of the air-conditioner.

All the fixing can be seen with labeling.

The whole drawing is to show the system of the air-cond.

I use 2 colours arrow to show how air-conditioner convert hot air to cool air.

RAPID VISUALIZATION 3

After having fun, back to work ^~^

This assignment, we have to visualize our minor project1.
We have to write all the information about the chair we choose.

First I collected all the data I have through internet.

Then I started to arrange the information.

I use 2 type of font to differentiate the information.

One is about the chair and another about the designer.

I also bubble out a detail of the chair to show the characteristic of the design.

Overall I am quite satisfy with this work.

BACK to KL

My Impression

During the trip to Singapore, my classmates and I were given a task 

which is to take lots of pictures around the city.

At first I feel shy of taking photos of buildings. 

Because we have to stand on the road side

Just to get the nice angle.

And yet still not very nice.

Hahaha

But I really feel that it is a good experience.

After shooting so many pictures, I learn to observe.

I learn to catch the art of photo shooting.

Taking photo is actually very fun!
You just have to catch the feel and sense.
Although I didn't really caught a lot of nice pictures.

But I believe

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
I will carry this spirit and keep on SHOOT!

 ~THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING MY FIRST JOURNEY~

SINGAPORE DAY3 - PART 2

WALKING I.A. SERIES 003

MISSION: SPOT & JUST SNAP!

TARGET: BUILDING STRUCTURES

Next we go - ARTSCIENCE MUSEUM

SPIRAL BRIDGE!
The power of ENGINEERING!

There it is!

The entrance of the building.

We went to have a look at a university's student's work exhibition.

Because of the lotus shape, the wall is all high and curvy.

There are some panel on the wall for exhibition display.

ORCHARD ROAD! LAST STOP! 

A very ionic building!
It looks like a shield!

wow!
A very dramatic facade!
Angular! 

Found a small alley between big buildings~
It's so quite and peace  v(^~^)o

Compared to the busy street...

NIGHT AGAIN!
LIGHTS UP!

The wash light makes the building looks different during day and night!

Ionic shield turns into beauty at night~
Phewit~

Playing with lighting on facade lights up the mood of SHOPPING at night~

After the orchard road walk and shop
We finally ended our trip~
Bye SINGAPORE!
What a nice city!

SINGAPORE DAY3 - PART 1

WALKING I.A. SERIES 003

MISSION: SPOT & JUST SNAP!

TARGET: BUILDING STRUCTURES

On the way to Marina Barrage~
The corridor's wall has wide mirrors
Which actually makes the space looks wider~

Marina Bay Sand Hotel!
Wow!
The whole building is like a space ship supported by 3 columns.

The buildings near by are also very futuristic with glass facade and curvy structure.

Gardens by The Bay~
It's just so beautiful~

There is Canopy walk! SPOTTED!

The view from a bridge~
The curvy building which looks like an eye lid is a interior garden.
The plants are grown in a cool environment.

After a long walking distance from Gardens by the bay, we are here!
MARINA BARRAGE!

It's a water treatment center.
Which also act as a tourist attraction.
The whole building is just concrete and glass.

You can see the curved pathway.

Which leads to the top of the building.
So the roofing of the building is actually a curved and it is a walkway.

We went to the exhibition center.

It's super cool!

This is the entrance.

look at the ceiling!

the way they exhibit!

It's all about the history and story of the river of Singapore.

This area exhibit their future plan.

This area shows how their water treatment system works.

This area exhibit about their system, their project.
The interesting part is the floor!
Look at it!
There are stories under it!

Here is the interaction area where visitors can take photos. 

UP ! We go to the top!
The wind is so big and we can see the wide Singapore city view here!

Let's follow the wind~
Next station!!
