PART 1: IDEA DEVELOPMENT

1. Write a biography about yourself

My name is Tan Sin Mi, but my friend usually calls my nickname Sammi. I almost 20 years old, I am trying to be more mature than before. I was a BDCM student, I enjoy designing some creative things when I was free, so I chose to taking Creative Media course. I also like beautiful works of art, whether they are hand-painted, electronic paintings, music, comics, film and television works, etc. As long as it is beautiful, I will pay attention to it and understand it deeply!

2. Write a statement about your work

With the theme “Self-Titled”, I wanted to convey my transformation from teenager to adult. I will use some items that can express adults to bring out what I want to express. In addition, I will add some elements to represent the process of transformation. I hope that I could be more mature but still maintain a young mentality at the same time. Besides, I hope that growth will not be a shackle for me, but one of my experiences.

3. Mood Board (3 Poster reference)


PART 2: DESIGN DIRECTION

1. Sketch your mock up poster


2. Create a digital poster based on your sketch






PART 3: EXECUTION AND POST PRODUCTION

ANIMATION PROGRESS:

For the wings, I added 3D LAYER to adjusts the wing's animation part.



I have added a BGM which I download from YOUTUBE and some sound effects from JIAN YING.

For the others, I used ANCHOR POINT, SCALE, ROTATION and OPACITY to adjust the animations.

TITLE:
Be 'Me', Be 'Mi'

ARTIST STATEMENT:
This is my expectation for my future, to be myself and not to be bound by anything. As time moves forward slowly, I also grow up slowly. I will learn new knowledge from the world, observe all interesting people and things. 

I will spread the wing called ‘Growth’ and fly to the unknown future.

I am who I am, be ‘Me’, be ‘Mi’.

FEEDBACK

From Mr. Hafiz (IVN): 

From Mr. Fauzi (DPI): 


REFLECTION

Self-titled, as the name suggests, allows us to feel the content and design of the work ourselves. Although the advantage of self-questioning is that I can decide what I want to do, it makes me more troubled because I don’t know how to start without a title. And in this project, we have to combine the knowledge and skills acquired from three different modules: Typography, Illustration & Visual Narrative, and Digital Imaging & Photography.

I first drew the theme I had in mind on my iPad. After I determined the general idea, I started to use Adobe software to digitize my sketch. After completing the first version of the work, I asked Mr. Hafiz and Mr. Fauzi for feedback. Finally, based on the feedback given by the lecturer, I made final revisions and completed the final project.

I think this final assignment is interesting and I enjoyed the creative process of this assignment. Especially when I finally done the final revisions, I felt very proud looking at my final project. At the same time, I was relieved because my first sem at Taylor’s also ended after completing this assignment.
