Design Project 1B - Daily Items

Connectivity

For the second part of Project 1, we will be concentrating on familiarising design principles through composing simple art work using simple daily items. Both parts are basically dealing with 2D artwork.

In a group of 4, we are required to create nine simple artworks using daily materials to show our understanding of design principles. The artworks are on 9 A4 size bases.

As final submission, we need to display all nine artworks as one artwork and included 2 A2 presentation boards that explain about the design principles, concepts and ideas that is on each artwork. The presentation boards must be hand written and hand drawn. 

The Brief

For this project, I teamed up with Cindy, Lee Ning and Man Kit. We received the material "raffia string". Before doing the artwork, first we need to do research about the characteristic and function of raffia string. 

After discussing with my group mates, we decided to use blue raffia string. We explored our material and come out with "CONNECTIVITY" as our theme for the artworks. Since we were given raffia string, it is best to do weaving. We also had to learn the weaving methods. Also, we actually got to train ourselves to practice weaving.

PRESENTATION DAY

The date for submission and presentation falls on 3th of April. During presentation, we managed to nailed every artwork as we deeply understand the correct way to represent the design elements and principles of each artwork. 

Our ARTWORKS

Our PRESENTATION BOARDS

I learned that the right concept can lead a project, structuring every detail and connection until all holes are sealed. We really saw the idea grow into artworks with constant development.

I feel honored to able to succeed this project with the help of my fellow group members. Also, I feel that we are really a team, as we will discuss before doing. We manage to divide our job well on the artworks as well as the boards. 

Individually, I had fully understood all the design principles and ways to apply them in a practical way. Overall, lots to improve in the future although we did not really well in this project.
