Assignment 3 : Grid 

Grids are series of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines that are used to structure content for the placement of any design element.

This monday (10/9) , we learned about Grid .  Basically grids are made up of  seven different lines and space: Margin, Flow line, Column, Row, Gutter, Module and Spatial zone . Different grids are used in different layout . In class activity , we are asked to identify the grid used in newspaper and magazine. 

Heres is an example of column grid used in a newspaper . 

We need to fold the paper horizontally twice and vertically twice to find the most accurate grid for the article in the newspaper .

After that , we were given a simple task . In this simple task , we were asked to design our own layout using the hierarchy which is the heading , subheading and body content . 

Heres are the examples of the design of my own layout 

After we finish designing our own layout , we are dismissed ! 

Group Assignment 1 : Furniture Design ( Finish )

After lots and lots of work , we have finished our furniture !


Heres the picture of the finished furniture !

Yes it can be turned around . Basically ,  this chair can be seated in 2 ways . 

Heres another picture of the chair . 

Then , this is me trying out the chair.

Basically this chair is make by lots of cupboard , glue it with glue gun and tie it with 6- 7  ropes so the durability of this chair is actually quite long. It can be seated not only by 1 person but 2 - 3 more people depending on the how you seat on it .


After 2 to 3 weeks , this group work has finally come to an end  . Even though , it looks like a simple chair but it really took us lots of times and handwork . We stick it piece by piece ,  cut it piece by piece during the weekend.

Last but not least , this is our group photo with Sam sitting on the furniture !

                                P/s : the pillow is custom made by Chia with our group name on it !

Group Assignment 1 : Furniture Design ( Continue ) 

We started our furniture by using the cupboards bought by Chia . 

              

Then we cut the cupboards into shape like below 

After few hours ! 

Heres are the picture of us cutting the cupboard ;

Thats 80% of what we did to finish the furniture .

I actually choose building as my subject matter for my framing assignment but I  i didn't manage to get out of my hostel since I will be busy doing my furniture work during the weekend so i changed my subject matter to shoes .

My group consists of Sam who's also our group leader , Syamim , Lee Chia , Doreen , Eevon , Jun Nian and lastly ME !   After an hour of group discussion , we have came out with an idea of making a chair using recycle items. We need to work it out and turn it into a real furniture which is able to be seated by a person in just 2 weeks time !

Here are some concepts of the chair we are making

                                                            Ideas by everyone in our group

First Assignment : Self Portrait ! 

* [ Hello ! err .. how do i start this ? ] *

so FIDs' students are assigned to make a blog and hopefully I can remember I NEED to update the blog TWICE a week which I think its a bit hard for me since this is my first time blogging .  

For our first assignment ;  We are asked to make a self portrait using any elements from the natural that we can find inside the campus .  After that we are requested to use ( collage , gluing , tracing etc ) any 2  to represent the art movement that suit us the best.  

After 1 hour of walking and finding of natural resources under the hot sun around the campus , this is what I came up with ;   

                            

                                    TAADAA ! I know its ugly HAHA .

I find it quite dirty to dig out those rubbish from the bin so i decided to just plug a few pieces of leaf from the tree .  I used a big leaf and glue it to the paper to represent my hair because i got a black and thick hair and i can't find any black thing from the natural to represent my hair . The sunglasses represent my spectacles . The reason why I put " X " using 2 leaf is because I don't really like vegetables compared to meat  .

   

 

                               

                               

and this is me presenting my portrait .  A big thanks to Hareshini Priya  and Ms lisa for taking a picture of me while I'm presenting my portrait ! Thank you ! 

Thats all for the first assignment .
