Assignment 1: Me, Myself and I
This is my first assignment for this module and the process has been pretty interesting if not strenuous.
You really need to put in a lot of effort to draw all this things plus juggle with your other school work
Oh well, at least I managed this time round. =)
Anyways~ We had to come up with something that we love and hate and then incorporate that idea into our name.
Initially it was really tough as we had to come up with a draft of 8 thumbnails ie 4 love and 4 hate so that we can choose two from each category for the tutorial critique.
The first time when I was doing it, I was pretty much enjoying it until I had to draw a second and a third and a forth and so on...
It's mind racking! It's really not easy at all! Haha...
After the tutorial critique, we will then either stick to the one we like or the one the class prefers.
I think it's a matter of your own preference though, unless your work really sucks big time, if you really like your own work while a small minority of the class insist that you pick the other one, then it's really up to your own judgment to decide.
I did some altering though based on the class's critiques while trying to still make it my own and here are the final products:
For the "I hate ants" part, initially i had put up "I hate insects" instead with the lollipop replaced by a cockroach (I hate ants too anyway, it's part of the insects group =D), but classmates felt that the roach seemed out of place and suggested that I replace it with a candy so here it is with the altered and more apt theme as well,
By the way i drew out the candy cane using Adobe Illustrator (which was pretty mind boggling to use at the beginning) and initially I had used up half a day to draw a lollipop where i used a real picture to try to make it into a vector.
Well it seemed too much of a success because when placed next to the ants, it looked a tad too realistic and just couldn't make the cut, so I had to re-draw another candy which is this candy cane, but somehow it still looks like something is wrong isn't it? =\
Really took up a lot of my time but it was fun anyway. Hee...
I really like my ribbons though so the only change was the first letter where my classmates suggested that i make it look more like X. =)
Some of my other classmates have some really nice designs so it might be difficult to chase up to their standards, but I'll do what I can for now. *smiles*
Cheers!
