Previous Ideas
Figure 2. Idea 1, 2 and 3
In the previous task, task 2, we were instructed to develop three or more
sketch concepts. I chose to refine the third sketch, positioning the title
at the center. In accordance with the feedback provided by my tutor, I
conducted several experiments and subsequently incorporated my own final
design idea.
Final Chosen Idea
Figure 3. Final Chosen Idea
I experimented with several typefaces and fonts for the title and
determined that incorporating an additional element into the illustration
would enhance its overall design. Specifically, I introduced a message
bubble, a recurring feature in the novel depicted in the illustration. The
typeface selected for this design was "IMPACT," primarily because the
comic consistently employs a bold and thick typeface whenever a message is
conveyed.
Figure 4. Poster With Korean and English Titles
I have added the title of the novel into the poster. I decided to try both
the Korean title and English title. I also added both of the titles together
so people can see both the titles. I made a few to compare which would look
better and decide the final poster after receiving my tutors approval.
Figure 5. Final Poster
After receiving feedback, my tutor approved of the title however he said
that the focal point was scattered and explained that I could try replacing
the "<<<Please Wait...>>>" to the English title. I
followed the advice of my tutor and replaced the "<<<Please
Wait...>>>" to the English title of the novel so there is a better
focal point.
Rationale
In this task, I initially selected an illustration from the previous
assignment, yet at first, I struggled to identify what aspects required
improvement. To overcome this challenge, I decided to approach the task
with a trial-and-error mindset, experimenting without a clear plan in
mind. This method proved effective, enabling me to generate new ideas.
Given that the illustration was predominantly monochromatic, I chose to
introduce color overlays to enhance its visual appeal. Following this, I
received constructive feedback from my tutor, who suggested incorporating
a title and experimenting with typography. I adhered to his advice,
implementing the changes as instructed. Additionally, I introduced a new
design element, a message bubble positioned at the center of the artwork
by which I felt complemented the overall composition. However, this change
led to a new issue: the focus of the illustration became disjointed.
Seeking further guidance, I consulted my tutor, who recommended modifying
the title to reflect the name of the novel from which the illustration
originated. This adjustment, he explained, would provide viewers with
context regarding the illustration's source. After numerous revisions and
refinements, the final version of the illustration was approved. Through
this process, I gained valuable insights into the importance of observing
and understanding the principles behind illustrations, as well as how to
apply this knowledge to effectively enhance and refine an artwork.
Feedback
Week 5
Mr. Fauzi explained that I should add a title of the novel this illustration
originated from. He also advised that it doesn't have to be a big title it
could be a small title in the corner so it would not obstruct the original
illustration.
Week 6
Mr. Fauzi told me to try and change the title with the English novel title
in the middle so there would be a proper focus.
