WEEK 1
TANGRAMSUsing a template of different types of shapes, we were supposed to create 6 images each representing an animal, an action figure, a plant/flower, a face, a vehicle and an appliance.
This was very interesting and challenging. The shapes were not supposed to overlap, which made it more tough. But i quite enjoyed creating symbolic figures using basic shapes.
Animal - A dog
Action fig - Batman flying
Flower - some sort of a sunflower
Face - angry face
Vehicle - a huge truck
Appliance - a retro kettle

WEEK 4
ROAD SIGNS
For this week, we had to create our own design for different types of road signs for our own world. i tried to create the symbols to what the sign was meant to be. I very rough trial, and quite enjoyed playing with different symbols.
WEEK 6
REBUS
This week we created a rebus from famous phrases as a group. A rebus is a puzzle that uses pictures to represent words, but the picture cant be the meaning of the word, it has to represent the word as a syllabic sound. Our group chose the phrase 'Time flies By'. To represent this, we used clock for time, flies for fly and by for a waving hand.
WEEK 7
PIXEL POTRAITS
This exercise was so much fun to do. I worked in illustrator rather than photoshop because i found it much easier. I made a face tone version and a pop arty version. I think it they all look good, my favorite would be the pop art one.
WEEK 8
CAUSE POSTER
I decided to use the logo we designed as a group for the distribution class, as an element or an illustration on the page. I don't think i was successful though. This poster doesn't work really well with our concept either.
SOUND SYMBOL
The symbol below was supposed to represent the sound of water droplets as it falls on a body of water. But i don't think i successful achieved it. without explaining it, it has a feel of the 7 chakras symbols.
