FINAL OUTCOMES:

Part 1

Part 2

REFLECTIVE WRITING:

This is probably the most challenging exercise for me. To create double exposure we need to use clipping mask and create mask layer. It is kind of confusing to me, I get confuse on the 'mask' layer. I spend a longer time to finish this task, but I am satisfied with my outcome. It look like a cute birthday photo compilation.

STARTING PROJECT 2B POSTER DESIGN

PART 1: Research your Topic

1. Study and gather all related information about your topic

MOODBOARD: (3 poster References)

2. Write a summary about your topic

Quotes of the day: Think outside the box

SUMMARY OF MY DESIGN CONCEPT:

My goal is to make the audience understand my poster at first sight. 

To present "Outside the Box," I made the box so large that a person can fit inside, similar to the references on the previous slide.

For "Think," my concept is:

"THNK" represents electricity and wires, 

"i" is a person being charged by electricity, with a light bulb lighting up above their head (inspired by cartoons, where a light bulb appears next to a character when they have an idea).

*My Rejected Quote

May everyone greet the dawn
Credit: Speech from actress Park Bo Young

The reason that I choose this quote:

It is actually an award speech, when Park Bo Young won won the Best Actress award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards, for her role in 'Daily Dose of Sunshine' 

(It is a story about a nurse who work in psychiatry department, and her interaction with the patience under her care.) She get to empathize with the people that are suffering with mental problem by playing the role, she hope everyone may greet each new day with hope and strength.

 'If anyone is going through a dark and long night, I hope you don’t get too tired and will endure it until the end to see the morning. Thank you. '

- Park Bo Young

I was touched by this speech. Mental health is such an important and timely topic in our society. The fast pace of city life puts a lot of pressure on many people, including myself. Just like Park Bo Young, I hope that everyone can find happiness and excitement in living each day.

(Unfortunately this quote is a bit negative according to Mr Fauzi. Therefore, I start looking for other quotes)

I decided to look for a more famous and well-known quote since my goal is to make it easy for others to understand my poster at first glance. A famous quote seems like a suitable idea.

After some research, I decided to go with: 'THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX'
