3. WORKING PROGRESS
3.1 Finding quotes
Some quotes that I found:

May everyone greet the dawn Credit: Speech from actress Park Bo Young |
I decided to choose the third quote 'May everyone greet the dawn'.
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'
3.2 Sketch
|
| Sketch for the Poster |
|
| Adding wire and switch detail to the (font) 'THNK' |
*Suggestion given by Mr Hafiz
The boxes can be labeled as 'OUTSIDE' to emphasize the meaning of the
quote

| Suggestion by Mr Hafiz |
3.3 Inspiration and Art Style
3.4 Rationale
3.5 Working in Illustrator
|
|
After working in photoshop, I start to do the typography part in
Illustrator.
1. Use 3D effect (Extrude)
2. Stretch out the words to make them taller and thiner
(Create outline > Direct Selection Tool)
3. Choose 'Cardboard Material' and make it darker
For the wire part:
1. Draw out the wire with pen tool
2. Use 3D effect (Inflate)
3. Choose 'Gold Natural' material and change the color into darkish
silver (To create metallic effect)
For the button/switch:
1. Use rectangle and eclipse tools to create the shape
2. Use 3D effect (Extrude)
3a. Choose 'Spotted Concrete' material and change the color to darkish
silver
3b. Choose 'Default' material and change the color to dark
red
DONE WITH THE TYPOGRAPHY PART
4. FINAL OUTCOME
5. SELF REFLECTION
At first, my sketch was rejected twice, and it definitely affected my
mood, not gonna lie. But thanks to those rejections, I ended up creating
this final piece, which I absolutely love. This is the first time I've
experimented with 3D effects. After learning about Chiaroscuro in our
lecture class, I’ve always wanted to try applying this technique to my
composition. Compared to a flatter design (with no shadows or light
sources), I prefer more realistic designs that incorporate light and
shadow. That’s why I decided to try 3D— I thought it would work well with
lighting and shadows.
It has been a great experience! Playing with materials and lighting has been really fun (although my computer was burning hot). Thanks to Mr. Hafiz, I learned how to create 3D effects, and he gave me plenty of suggestions and advice. My 3D workflow is much smoother now, thanks to his demonstrations in class.
