LECTURES

This week, Mr. Hafiz taught us how to make a text intertwining with an object, apply texture and give a 3D effect to it.

TASK

Week 8

1. Sketches & References

To begin, I searched for some references and sketches for the design of the poster I am going to work on.

After that, I started sketching on my tablet. I made two sketches and after receiving feedbacks from Mr. Hafiz, I made a new layout.

Week 9

2. Digitalization (Typography)

For the typography, I did all of the work only using Illustrator. I started by typing the quotes out with the fonts I have downloaded online.

Next, I used a 3D effect to emphasize the word "mirror."

These are the setting for the 3D effect on "mirror."

For the final touch, I rotated the mirror to give it a fun look.

Week 10

3. The Poster

The final step is to work on the poster. Since the poster relies heavily on photographic elements, I will put the process on Week 9-10 DPI E-portfolio.

REFLECTIONS

Working on this poster was quite a challenge for me. From gathering ideas, finding composition, and to make all of the parts work is rather confusing. What I get from this task is how effects and filters can change a meaning of a text and its general vibe. So, I decided to go with a simpler color to make the poster stand out and pop. Overall, I feel this task has made me learn a lot of the components on Illustrator, starting from the 3d effects, intertwine and layering textures lectures.
