UNIT 5, WEEK 3

WORKSHOP

For the workshop today. I dicided to use this three drawing to reflect my tone and mood of my practice and used the indesign to do this workshop.

I’m a fan of Japanese manga since very young age. This is my drawing 3 years ago which shows my selfprotrait with my favorit character Shalnark in the manga Hunter x Hunter and 2 drawings about the characters in this manga. I used Indesign to make these designs and plan to use it in my book.

PROJECT IN MY PDF DECK WORK

I decided my 4 projects in the PDF. They are: my fanart drawings of the manga Golden Kamuy in 2021; my fanart drawing before 2020 about the manga Hunter x Hunter; my 3D modle exercise about metamorphosis, and my illustrations about a snuffbox in V&A museum.

After that I arranged all my pictures in order in indesign and use it to do typesetting

FIGMA LEARNING + POSTER

I used Figma to make this poster ( I also want to use it as the front of my A4 printed book)

RESEARCH

Massimo Vignelli is considered by many people as one of the most influential designers of the last century. His design works include packaging design, architectural design, interior design, public sign system, and display space design. He calls himself as an “information architect”, dedicates to condensing large and complex ideas into a form that is easier to understand and explore.

Milton Glaser is known as the father of world design. His more than 300 posters and illustrations, covering environmental design, interior design, interior and outdoor design of exhibition halls, restaurants, illustrate the ethical practice of design in clear language. In his view, designers need to make sure the audience understands their works at first sight.
