Tioman Island - '' land of chaos''

I was totally excited for this trip after having a super nice time in the Pangkor  island.

however this time was a different experience . islands are one of the earths  beauty that i just touched. apart from that coming to the learning out comes , we learnt quite alot of things during the activities session and worked together as one. 

slight knowledge on Tioman Island - malaysia

it has clear water , alot of tourist attraction because of the beautiful and extraordinary scenery aswell as  the marine park and snorkelling activities plus diving points. 

Here are some beautiful scenery shots (: 

 yessss! it can get that dirttyyy!

  haha thats me !  perfect sunset :) 

  wasnt a 5star! but amazing as that. 

 the campfire!  

 Also that, we  got to meet some talented musicians from different part of the world like italy , mexico.  who played extraordinary music , they called it experimental music . which was super nice. 

you can listen to it .  its amusing , because they used their own made musical instruments.

THE GAME ARCADE - PIXEL SQUARE

                                                         The Game Arcade.

Using recycled papers in order to reduce cost , turning something 2d to 3d .
making  life size games, using papers only.

Knowing this actually got me very excited , and after getting this game '' PACMAN''
we started off with making sketches and observing the available space . which is a classroom .
also decided to utilize available materials and things such as the window and table to make the game screen and the console  keeping in mind to have a 3D effect.

These are some sketches made . *spatial desigining in process *

After understanding our space, we did abit of  research on our game .

so thats basically the original pac man  screen, characters etc. 

 we decided to design our signage .  there were several designs done and also the characters such as the ghosts and pacman itself.  since we are in a group of 5 we decided to make the ghosts have characteristics of each of us . so the ghosts are made as each of appear.  which i think made it even more exciting . 

we first pre - designed the maze on a piece of paper . and measured the space available and divided accordingly .

signage and ghost characters .

hey! these are my group members :)  ilona and audrey !

 

these are our ghost characters . designed and cut. 

there after we used the window to plot our maze, however we decided to use clear plastic to stick on  the window and then paste our work , so as it would be very easy and convenient to take it off after the display, and may also be used for other purposes later on . 

after finalizing the maze, we used masking tape to sketch up on the window in order to get a preview of how the maze would look like , something that was amazing and beautiful while doing it was that the sun light passed through the window forming a shadow on the floor which made the whole thing look even better  .

isnt this cool ?

after sketching up the maze, we also made the console for the game . using thick card boards which were placed on the table. the console consisted of one joystick and two buttons as per the original pacman game console.  to make the joystick we used table tennis ball with chopsticks glued it and wrapped it with paper.  and for the buttons we used paper and sponge to give 3D effect. 

thats the console. 

A few shots of  paper pacman! 

coming back to the maze, we used card board to put up the maze . as using papers would be too weak.  cool part about using this was , when looking from the front it looked like straight plain lines. but if looked from different angles it gave this 3D illusion which made it look even better. also to make the pacman food , we used stryofoam , we used a styrofoam cutter to cut it into fine squares and pasted them using  double sided tape. 

our signage , was designed by us by made by the signage group, however special thanks to them for making our game look awesome . 

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! 

we present to you '' PACMAN"

we also made the coin slot, to make as real as we possibly could. 

oh the super awesome part is , during the night , the whole arcade looked like this . 

cool isnt it ?

this is a combination of 3 console games. 

the mario , the tetris and ofcourse the pacman. 

however there were other games made  by my other classmates. i must say i have talented friends! 

whack a mole !

andddd! yessssss our entranceee signage 

*PIXEL SQUARE* 

My learning outcome from this whole work is , to every problem theres a solution . 2d materials can be  magical if its used appropriately and creatively. and also teamwork plays a high role in coming up with such a great work  and also to have fun with every work we do ! 

assignment 1 & in-class-activity - 2D paper cut

2D PAPER CUT ART WORK .

IN CLASS ACTIVITY 

HAIIII!  this is another paper cut art work post.  slightly different then the previous one .

this is all about  2D .

things required for this activity are : pen knife , cutting mat,  lots of papers (colored ones) , amazing and creative patterns and FUN! 

this is my in class work . 

 I used  pink and yellow combination. as those were the only 2 colour papers i had in class.   i decided to make cheese like a design for pink and  flowers for yellow.  yes yes ! i know yellow colour  is for the cheese . but hey , playing safe isnt what designers do!  and instead of using black side of the mounting board, i used the other side of it . To see how it would look like with a white background.

  

however ,  my learning outcome from this activity was , freely experiment .pasting should have been abit more in alignment.  

ASSIGNMENT 1 - 2D paper cut art 

so we had an assignment to do , after the class activity . *oh nooo! 

since its the lover's month , i chose the theme ''hearts'' .

we are required the same materials as mentioned above.

This picture shows a  symmetrical art , it basically means, balanced on both sides.  I used red color in order to complement it with black . Also that , the design used is a random design in order to get the shape of the heart. 

 

This picture shows asymmetrical art work which means not balanced, I used green as it is a complementary color of red as per the color wheel and also to complement it with the black background . the design for it is very simple, something like hearts flying  away from a box , showing motion. 

My learning outcome was , before pasting any of your work , play around with the materials to get the best piece of work, can be done by placing them in different places on the mounting board and taking pictures which later can be viewed and best can be chosen . 

sem2 - Assignment 1 - self portrait .

This is my self-portrait, yes i have one already but this is my second one basically new things about myself,  i decided to stick up things on a plain paper and show everything that i like to do and everything that represents me , i know we cant put everything that we do or what  we are . but here is a  few things i mention,  lets start with the paint brush , this directly represents art. Art  is what i see  around me ,  the musical notes show music , drawing of nailpolish pouring out  and the fashion  mannequin totally represents fashion which is considered to be my first love.  Bus tickets and map shows travelling , going around new places, meeting new people , i get excited about stuff and do things at random times and thats why i used tshirt with peg to represent it, here im actually showing how doing laundry can get me excited at times  :P .  so basically thats me . :)
