Subject : Detailing and Working Drawings

Back at it again in Semester 3, its been a while.

For our first class assignment we were asked to do a simple sketch of a drafting table. One placed in our very own studio. Since we haven't learnt about the proper techniques and methods to sketch a perfect detailed drawing,we we're excused to do a basic sketch without measurements. As what Ms Norji had said, this was a basic practice to see how well us upcoming designers were paying attention into detail. How ordinary everyday objects  were being put together.

Actual photo of Drafting Table is yet to be updated on the sketchbook.

Reflection :

This has got to be my second round in sketching the drafting table's mechanism as I originally made a mistake. Even though I had to sketch a couple of times in order to get the mechanism right, I found it helpful, each time I start a new sketch I would look more into detail of the subject matter. Since it was just a sketch, rulers were not being used and now a days, pens are to be practiced and implemented in everyday drawings.

Stage 3 : Memoribilia

 Im finally done with my presentation and tho I think I could have done better, I still did try.

Interior Design Project 1: The Playlist

As we were briefed about this project assignment, it was about creating a compact iconic  listening booth that suits the mood,music essence  and characteristic that best express the sound genres. The main functionof this booth was  to create an exciting environment that gives off a  better impression and attracts viewers to experience the space through visual in order to maximize their audio sensory. The considerations that were looked at was the compactisati in  space design which would cater all the intended activity comfortably within the limited space.Provided there is also, consideration of behaviour and attitude while listening to music which includes posture, movement, body language and gesture.

Interior Design Project 1 : RYTHM WALL

RHYTHM WALL 

Our next Phase 1 Assignment was to construct a RHYTHM WALL according to our given music genres. In which case mine was Electronic Dance Music .

The Rhythm Wall would have to portray and give a best impression about the music genre itself. We were given freedom to design our future wall. However, we were told that keeping designs to a minimal and abstract looking would be more interesting . As for the materials, we were given enough freedom to use whatever we liked as long as they were white in colour or colourless. However , Ms Norgi did advice us to use minimal materials as we have yet to look into what materials were suitable for which designs.

UNLEASH THE BEAST

Electronic Dance  Music has now become one of the most mainstream music of the generation. It is know that EDM represents up beat music, with high low tempos,fast tracks and repetition.

I was influenced by the movement of the music itself. Whenever I envision EDM , I began to  picture a ball of energy. Pumping , blasting and full of movement. Unleash the Beast , represents the music strongly. It is where in EDM that people lose their self consciousness  and completely surrender themselves to the music.In an abstract way, the strange shape shows how from the center ,the ball of energy slowly becomes a whole, creating its own aura and effects peoples mood .

Interior Design Project 1: Electronic Dance Music Infographic Board

For our first particular assignment, we were all required to work in groups of five.Of course our lectures decided to spice things up by handing out lucky draws to see which category we'd fall into.
There are a few different music genres that were given off such as Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Retro, Reggae and so on. I ended up being placed in Electronic Dance Music and was paired up with Zack, SQ, Wen Wei and Carmen as my group members.


We started of doing in depth research on Electronic Dance Music and what the sub genre's were. We were also lucky enough that Zack was knew more about this topic since he himself is a DJ :p and had help us.

Like any other group,we manage to split the task so everyone would have a part to contribute.
Not only that, we also had bonus materials to support our Infographic Board which was an actual DJ Deck. Courtesy of Zack of course. We had it plugged into our Mac and play different sub genres of EDM. Everyone seemed to have loved it . In fact, it made people more aware of the difference of  EDM a lot better.

All and all my team mates and I had done a fantastic job, we work hard in producing the final outcome :)

Reflection / Comments :

As for the criticism from our lecturers , we were told that we had so far grasped the idea of what and info board really is and that we had implemeted and translated most of our finding into pictures and images rather then to write them out. However, Ms Shaa and Ms Norji found that it was too "much". In a sense, they mentioned that there were to many elements going on such as the shapes. We had circles , rectangles, triangles and others that it was getting a bit scattered. In the end, I do agree that perhaps keeping within a specific "theme" would have been a lot better. But whats done is done and shall I make the most of what I've learnt.
