WEEKLY PROGRESSION

Week 1

For week 1,  we required to create a new artboard and fill it with drawing. We need to show different angles of any object. The object I chose is camera.

Fig 1.1 Different angles of camera

This exercise has enhanced my observation and perspective abilities, and helped me understand the perspective changes of objects at different angles.

Week 2

For week 2, Mr. Kannan taught us that when we don’t have any inspiration for a design sketch, we can get inspiration through silhouettes. The silhouette does not need to be too complicated at the beginning, it can be a few simple shapes, and then you can delete or add to the shapes later.

Fig 2.1 Silhouette

According to Fig2.1, the top two rows are water vehicles, and the bottom two rows are land vehicles.

After that, I start sketching based on the silhouette. I didn't draw it in great detail, I just used geometric shapes to express.

Fig 2.2 Sketches based on silhouette

When you're out of ideas, silhouettes can really help. When drawing a silhouette, we can show every variation of the silhouette, which makes it easy to review the process and get ideas when we get stuck.

Week 3

For week 3, I adjusted the silhouette based on Mr Kannan's feedback. Labeled with numbers and car types. I wanted to do Cyberpunk, and water vehicles weren't really suitable for that theme, so I only focused on land vehicles.

Fig 3.1 Silhouette

Besides, I constructed and deconstructed water, land, and air transportation. This exercise helped me understand the composition of the vehicle, allowing me to design a more logical and convincing shape.

Fig 3.4 Construct and deconstruct (Water)



PROJECT 1
FEEDBACK

Week 2: You don't need to draw very detailed at the beginning. Try to draw simple geometric shapes first and then modify them slowly. Shows the changes in your silhouette so you can review the process if you get stuck.

Week 2: Labeled with numbers and car types. Make more silhouettes.

Quick Link INTRODUCTION LECTURES Topic 6: Visual Analysis Is a method of understanding design that focuses on the visual elements and principles. A description and explanation of visual structure for its own sake.  A critical part of visual literacy, a skill that helps people read and critically interpret images How does Visual Analysis Work? Phase 1: Observation Closely looking at and identifying the visual elements of a design, trying to describe them carefully and accurately in your own words.  Do not read beforehand about the design at all.  About looking, thinking, and finding good language to communicate what you notice. Phase 2: Analysis Require...

Out of 3 sketches, I decided to choose sketch 1 as I think it composition is best. I think this sketch best reflects the mercy of Virgin and the people who long for salvation.
