2. Create fake reflection 

- add a separate window photo
- add interesting textures 

3. Experiment with simple portraits and details textured


4. Convert you results to Black & White

- lack of color will strengthen the emotions in your double-exposure images
- if you want to express your work in a vulnerable way
- give unique depth

5. Work with silhouette

- opportunity to show very creative sides of yourself

TUTORIAL

We had a consultation hours. I showed and explained to Mr Fauzi my concept and the idea behind my sketches and mood board. 

Here was my Week 12 Progress:


Fig 1.3: Biography (9/11/2021)

I wrote about myself, my passion, dreams and what motivates me to achieve them. This helped me summarize information about myself and choose the parts I want to showcase in a creative way in my final work. 


Fig 1.4: Statement about the work (9/11/2021)

In this one, I explored more about what I wanted my work to be about. In summary, it was about being this hero version of myself that isn't much different from myself. Its a message to myself and the audience that you don't need to be someone else to be better, you already have the capabilities to do it. You are already a hero / main character in your own video game / story. Main themes would be self-acceptance and self-love. 

MOOD BOARD

Fig 1.6: Mood Board #2 (9/11/2021)

In Mood board #1, I basically looked at the graphical elements and style I wanted to have that expresses my own style and my personality. I love doodles and I love fun typography. 

For Moodboard #2, I was looking at poses and compositions I could do for the final work because I would want to have a fun pose and interesting composition to make my idea clear and easy to understand. 

Mr Fauzi says that I have a good design direction and that I should try to work on a design thats more of like a magazine style design. 

SKETCHES

Some sketches that I did that I wasn't very proud of but help in choosing the direction I wanted to do for the final design.

During my Critical and Creative Thinking Skills module, we had to choose a person as our target audience/someone we wanted to help other than ourselves. Someone that we could help solve their issues using Creative Thinking skills.  My group chose Alex Scott who was a cancer patient who was known by the world for her initiative of setting up a lemonade stand to raise funds for children riddled with cancer just like her.  Many ideas were being ...
