Project 2: Digital Imaging exercise 01 - PART1: SHAZAM

After watching the video tutorial provided, I resized and fit Shazam on the Hearst Mansion image and recoloured it accordingly.

Project 2: Digital Imaging exercise 01 - PART2: MY REFLECTION

The next step was to find an image of myself and use the steps below to add myself into the Hearst Mansion. I started off by using this picture:

Figure 1.0 Picture used

I like this picture as the full body and pose are provided. It consisted of good lighting and I was conveniently leaning towards the elevator, much like Shazam is leaning onto the mansion pillar. I followed the steps smoothly, however, it was the recolouring i struggled with immensely.

During class hours, we had to participate in the Coffee cup art installation by designing a paper cup.

Please bring your black pen/ ink/ marker to class this week. (WEEK 5: 21.5.2024)

The Design School will be participating on the Coffee Cup Art Installation 

Venue: Fahrenheit88, KL

Date: 10 – 23 JUNE 2024

There will be a wall of papercup art with approximately 500 cups from TDS.

1.⁠ ⁠A white plain paper cup coffee will be provided and handed over to students during TUTORIAL session.

2.⁠ ⁠All art need to be black and white. 

3. Please write student name + hashtags: #TheDesignSchool #TaylorsUni

This was my design for the paper cup for the installation. This was a fun time-passer and I could freely illustrate using my own art style.
