5th semester of Design LIFE

This year our project is more about music experimental center which all of us have our though days.

Ok. The First Project will be propaganda poster, which we need to design a poster to promote  our selected music type. 

*Inspired by Leessang( a Korean Hip Hop Group)

Project 1: Propaganda

Project 2: Concept and Activity

In project 1, we have given a task to design a Poster which I tried to give out the energetic feel that fully represent HIP HOP. By having different kind of colours, and some scribbles on plywood using acrylic paint. By bringing out the Hip hop elements, scribbles of Graffiti, DJ, Rapper, Hip Hop Dance are done on the board too. Thus to lighten and makes the board stand-out more, a DJ turntable was done and fixed on the lower part of the board. The details of the 'turn table' was made in recycle material which is some unusable remote control, wire, cables and also CD.

The 2nd Project is about creating an Info-graphic board to show the activities, concept and organization chart. I make 'layer interlocking' as the concept for the project, to create a space which interlock the hip hop music and the social. Thus, from the word layer can refer to the hip hop activities which most of it are come in a lot of 'layers' or style to create the movement or music. While the word interlocking can also refer to the music of hip hop as usually hip hop music can be interlock with the others music too. The programme and activity will base on the 4 elements of hip hop.

The final project which I am going to create a Hip Hop music center. This time around I try to use sticker and plywood as my media of presentation board. Is a bit hard to stick actually. While the LED light applied for the logo is quite costly but I really like the effect as it lighten up the uniqueness of the center. This semester I use computer to produce works, the elevation of the building, I actually remain the whole building because this time around we are taking the challenge to do the preserve building of a historical.

This semester, the progress is more independent, I learn to solve problem by myself while taking this semester, is still a lot of things to improve. And I don't really satisfied the work although I did put a lot of effort... I understand that there is a lot of problem happening is this semester which we can't blame ourselves and the lecturer also. Well, is an experience. Lets be positive and keep moving on!

Hope that we can get a good result at the same time all the best for our internship in coming semester~

RE: post for the Europe Trip

Between the time of thousand submission
Allow me to have a little small time to throwback the awesome moment

I believe that everyone have their own way to go and their own way to stop
Sometimes this doesn't harm any people beside you...

Another things that I believe is Travel always makes more understanding of the people that go we you in the trip... you will find a precious one and have a forever trip...


The memory that what I have now is the first feeling while we reach Eiffle Tower after few miles rushing here at there after check out from the airport... Carrying few kgS of luggage is like doing stamina training in the Paris. Is quite cool actuallyXDXD

You know sometimes we have to understand more about people and I really appreciate those that willing to help each other AUTOMATIC... I believe that I'm the one and usually I wont ask for 'payback'...

After looking at the 'White Scene' from the waist of the Eiffle Tower, we went down by the escalator and it suddenly power on my dance power... I shake my body with the stainless steel shining handle beside the window... The women besides me star at me for few seconds and start laughing after that... Seriously... I really hope to do something stupid and crazy in others country because I always thaught that I won't easily meet people that know meXDXD How positive I am then I will start telling what stupid things I did within this 10+ days. Is stupid but is totally fun... HAHAHA~~

I can still remember, that day while I first travel so long time with Emirates (Meals)... Is totally amazing and unbelievable. U can't imagine I was asking for menu just to go through the food on the flightXD Besides, the menu is totally wonderful by listing a lot of wine/ alcoholic drinks on top... Seriously funny... At start I'm not sure that it is free or all will be charge... after that it is super nice because this flight includes meals~~ After start taking the bottle for me... some of them start asking for thatXDXD the fod is so delicious but is too sad that I din get the chance to eat maggie... because too tired edyTT

Oh ya, microwave food, we actually decide to have microwave party while we are in Paris since second day but we cant make itTT because casino close too earlyTT... haha... ok well... casino is super market... hahhaha while we talk about this while we on the way, 1 guy actually stare at me while we talking about we want go casino do this do that... I seriously feel funny actuallyXDXD

I can still remember which happiest moment that I have... Which is so memorable to me... it is the disneyland day... I din realize that Disneyland is so big until cant finish in one day, we reach while it is open... went when it is close... still... not enoughTT While reach Disneyland, I bought myself a cap... Which is something like graffiti, few of us buy also^^ haha~~ We should wear together one day ^^V  After start exploring the studio park... we accidentally choose the tower of terror for the first ride... Is so scary until I can feel like Im flying on disneyland sky... is like stop and go, stop and go... But the funny things is the women that act like a horror escalator woman... hahaha...
Watching the parade, fireworks and show, force weiwen to sit the ride... it looks so normal for the ride but is terrible excited...

There are a lot of happy moment while there is some scary moment too... Some of us money get cheated and some of us surround by people which they plan to cheat her moeny... The dirty street is some how not that romantic... Vandelism( Although some street is really nice)... This scene is a bit normal in Paris as it is not the first imagination that gave me... Seriously hope that I could have the chance to breath on the clean and romantic Paris, but maybe is too late? hmmm...

Talk a bout London, I actually spend my time with my cousin... Although is short but I'll never forget how it is... Enjoying the night view by walking a long the thames river, london bridge bridge tower.... some how is just so nice for us to relax... I understand that she is quite busy but thanks for paying your time and money to come to meet me^^ Is so happy to see you~~ seriously^^ Walking in the market and try out all the food they have... I always feel like to become a traveller, at least we have to be brave in trying all different kind of culture... Is so nice to walk around the market, the strawberry is so sweet, the mini tomato is so juicy, the cheese, the cracker, and the people is just so kind to allow us to try everything^^

Spending the time in London make me feel more safe and relax... Although there is thousand of assignment waiting behind the trip... I still get my time to relax for few days...

Sometimes I feel like people have to be courage on trip but you have to assure your safety... If trip is going in group, please think about the other... They might worry you... And you have to know that some of them is in charge of the trip and your action and attitude will affect the trip schedule... Attitude Attitude... Is a really important things that everyone should have either you have million/ billion of assets or just a sinlge cent...

Anyway.. the trip end safely and happily...

p/s: The man in Europe some how is a way for my eyes to enjoyXDXD  hahaha... is so handsome and man seriouslyXDXD hhahahaha

Experiencing Culture- London

Journey continue to London...

and here we are^^

Day-05 On the Train and Arrival in Generator Hostel

Well... I couldn't even sleep for a minute in the train... and this is what I am doing@@
KING'S CROSS ST. PANCRAS--> tadaaaaaa~~ Arrived... Spot something interesting in the public area of the hostel. 

The Lion King Theatre

Well... is so so so so so incredible including the set up, the arrangement,the sound the everything~ is so unbelievable... I would go to see again once I have a chance to reach there.

And also we have a short walk in Convent garden and have our first meal in London--> Fish n Chips

Day-06 SCIENCE MUSEUM 

In this building, is similar as Petronas Science Museum but is more bigger and professional... Including the product they sell, the arrangement, hand-on display unit, program and so on. The area have 5 floor but we can only proceed to third floor. Due to the time limitation, I actually have a fast 'pass by' for those information without hand-on activity or model/illustration attraction.

The best place is located at the 3rd floor which every equipment is waiting for you to experience. They don't direct give you answer through the display unit while you might need a guide to explain you a lot of knowledge in details. There are also a lot of activity been held in the center for example schedule experiment, school trip workshop, science discussion and so on. Activities are all arrange in a very detail and perfect way while the visitor can manage to try out a lot of things at there.

The other best exhibition hall for me is the hall that provide the history of the plane. The whole area is playing with a bridge just to let you see the plane nearer. By provide the darker lighting, the whole place is just like a place to park/stop the airplane while is not in-use. 

Oh ya, the best things for the museum is, is free~~ is a really nice place to explore, but maybe you can try to give out some donation for better maintain... 

Harrods--> Lilly White--> Convent Garden

Within the same day, we go to shopping!! Haha... I manage to bring some of them go to the market which selling a lot of interesting things in front of a church. Is special, is nice and is wonderful~~~ but too bad for us as we reach convent garden too late... and shop had already close...T.T

But, my friends did buy A LOT of clothes, shoes and bag@@ well... the price is quite attractive by the wayXDXD


Day-07 Change of Guard 

Early in the morning, we depart to the Buckingham Palace to watch the change of guard... is so crowded outside the palace while the opposite site is the Hyde park with trees and grass... we manage to see squirrels at there~~ is really WOW... after that we go to have lunch nearby the Kid's Discovery Center...

Kid's Discovery Centre and Olympic Park

The kid's Discovery center actually have a awesome ideas~ By started with the theme of Alien, they explore a lot of unique hand-on display unit. Is quite lucky for us because we can take photo easier as there is not much kids around there. 

About the Olympic park... Is still under construction, but for me is so new to see futuristic modern style building in UK... I quite like it^^ even I prefer to have more Heritage building... 

Historical Walk

Historical walk start from Big Ben, Cathedral, further view of London Eye, and other Historical Buildings around. Is so Incredible and the feeling is so unique after I see all those modern building and now go back to heritage building...

Oh, look, Hakim, Ms Sharmila and I are going in to the wall... swooshhhhhh~~ hahhhhaha... Well... we manage to take this picture in King's Cross Station and since is night time... we no need to queue for it XDXD LUCKYYYY~~ 

Day-08 Tate Modern and Tower Bridge 

After walk around in Arsenal stadium, part of us decide to leave the stadium without having tour inside. We depart to Tate Modern and start to Explore it... Is quite similar as the Pompodou in Paris... I mean the art work... 

After that we walk through the long bridge in front of it and have our Lunch--> Fish n Chips (again) at the road side. 

We reach London Tower and start to find our lecturer... But actually they are at Tower Bridge... What a misunderstanding... How Nano and I found it out is... We look snap their photo from far and zoom in to check their face... BINGO... we got it correctXDXD Seriously is fun rightXDXD

Royal Festival Hall & Meet up with Eva 

After walk around in Tower Bridge, we go to Royal festival hall, we are so lucky to found out there is a 'Night Market' which sell a lot of foods, cheese, jam and so on. There is a lot of delicious food while I can't actually try all.

After few hours tasting around, finally I manage to meet my cousin sister--> Eva... Feel so warm to meet siblings outside from your country~~~~~~ We walk along the river back to the tower bridge... after check in Hotel, we have dinner at a Spain Restaurant... Is really nice... you pay what you eat seriously... it really worth and hope that you all can have a try on their food if any of you manage to visit there... I will find out the name and show out after that...

Day-09 Gherkin, Lloyds

After having breakfast in Hotel we Eva, we decide to go to Gherkin and Lloyds... B-U-T............. There is such a long queue from the entrance all the way long to the shop opposite... few like it queue few miles away from entrance=='That's why I didn't manage to go... Hmmmm~~ well... is good enough for me already... at least I still manage to take photoof the exteriorXDXD 

Borough Market

The best place to experience the culture is MARKET... because a market usually have a lot of local selling stuff and local that always visit... including the food, pastry, pickles, cheese, jam, nuts and so on. Is quite hard to explain but I really hope that people that visit there can try out this unique market^^

British Museum and Gallery

This is the British Museum that actually located few steps from Generator Hostel... Is a bit different to compare the outside and inside as the inside part is like another world...

This is the mummies exhibition in the British Museum that attract me a lot. I manage to see the mummies from different century and level. After that we have a light-bite and we go to the Gallery and see Sunflowers~~~ is WOW... Is like I saw the real things from the reference book @@

After walk around, we go to buy souvenir for my family and have a last meal(Ramen) in London... Eva, thanks for being taking care of me in London. I hope you stay well and take care of yourself anywhere anytime^^ Miss you...

This trip end after the night bus depart from London to Paris...After transit to Paris Airport... We depart and say Hi to the reality...

Project throughout the whole semester

 The first project- Research about AUTISM and 'translate' to infographic











The second project: Art lab about for AUTISM which you have to produce an art lab from your research in the previous project. Seriously is a bit tough because is the very first time for us to use computer, I don't really get used to it at the first time seriously, this makes quite a lot of problem@@

The final project therapy center: A lot of things happen actually, too many things happen that trouble me, but I walk-through it. I'm proud of myself too. 









The computer have problems and my file is like almost crash. I found this in the morning before we pin-up, is a terrible and special day. Im not able to open the file by my computer, so i rush to school to find computer with the software, however I can't really find it. One of the lecturer lend me her laptop but I could only open 1 board (should be 8 boards). I try and try until my 'daddy' recommend me to try in another software. Luckily it's work! I thought that things would be better after that but the bigger problem is coming to me.

The file couldn't save because it is too big, the frame that I ordered from outsider make the wrong dimension. The frame is too short and too slim from my requirement. It really bring me to the darkest moment. I'm almost cry that I know I can't do that, I'm almost give up that I'm starting to think about 'What if I give up', I'm almost die.........

Problem by problem I solve and solve, I use another special person laptop after she finish her work, thanks a lot! Luckily her laptop can use, seriously that laptop is amazing. While everything settle, I go to print my board in a stationary shop, the file couldn't open!! Is like everything become worst@@ luckily the shop OT for me to change the file format and print the boards although the result is not what I expected.

Thanks to the special person that fetch me also, thanks a lottttt!!
While I reach school, the lecturers come to me and help me to solve my problem's'. We doing step by step, the workmanship is already not important at all at that moment. Everything become not important at all, I just want the board to be there for presentation at the moment. Luckily I'm still able to finish it. Thanks to the lecturer that accompany me, help me and fetch me back home, thanks to the two special people also that fetch me and help me a lot. 

Although I am able to finish the work, but the work have quite numbers of tiny problems also. This is one of it...... The text is hidden and the picture is accidentally overlap... 

The label accidentally missing@@ but actually I did put in@@

The material board, thanks to aunty Tan that provide me quite a lot of materials <3 Too much to thanks actually XD

The model for the project, seriously... the workmanship is not that good and I actually can't produce any piece of it for the final presentation==" quite sorry actually... Haha.. But everything end perfectly, thanks again to eveyone, thanks for the challenge also, at least I have a special experience. 



Before you give up ask for permission... From yourself, from your effort, from you dream, from your future... Faith and courage, calm and passion. People never win but you can always be better...

The world is always beautiful^^ POSITIVE THINKING!




Thanks to Evon, Sherilyn, Ms Shar, Ms Norji (Bonda) and Mr Kamal (Daddy)

Infographic Research

Info graphic is actually translate the Information to Graphic for a more simple understanding and also more attractive. Usually play with NUMBER, COLOUR AND SYMBOL. It usually play with hierarchy to differentiate the importance of the informations.

Some of the info graphic using sketches and labeling to show the information. As the pictures show, the drawings (graphic) are usually take 70-80 percent of the whole info graphic, some of them even higher. The reason is actually because an info graphic have to be more attractive so that people that pass by can stop for awhile to look at it. The information have to be summarize and easier to understand because we have to assume that people only have few minutes to take a look of your works.

Another important things is actually the colour scheme have to control nicely so that it won't look messy and of cause have a better visualization to attract people. Playing with symbol is normally use for info graphic so that people is easier to understand.

I try to put in some interesting part to live up my info-graphic. Is not really good but at least i tried something new, is a kind of challenge. But I'm dunno I'm going to face a bigger challenge after that. This board accidentally fell of and I have to fix it. Due to a lot a lot of things happen, I have someone special to help me on it. Thank you very much=)
