Final Presentation

Ambient Media Placement: Cafes and Restaurants.
Why: They can use it as a cup mat when customers make order for drinks and can let customers to play with when they needed some games to over boredom when they are waiting for their friends or hangouts with besties.

Final Progression

There's slightly different materials that I used in my prototype.
The previous prototype that I mentioned was card board,
But due to the gap thingy, I decided to go with mounting board. This idea comes in when I found 3 A3 size mounting board that I didn't use for my diploma.

Although it's thinner than cardboard but the quality is better, at least it didn't have gap for the sides.

 The picture above is my printed artwork, I cut them into 9 pieces which in size 9cm X 9cm.

 The mounting board's sides doesn't have a single gap, looking good. After I pasted my artwork at both sides of the pieces, I applied a thin layer of sealer paint to make it glossy and higher protection.

But the paint is quite sticky as I mentioned in my previous post, so I don't satisfied with the finishing, but the overall is okay, better than the gap thingy. And I found out that this puzzle can also used as cup mat, multipurpose huh!

Line Illustration

Since this project is about pushing my limit and step out of my comfort zone,
so I wanted to try on designing a style that I never think of trying before.
It's Line Illustration, I get the idea after came back from Art Expo Malaysia 2014.
But that time what I wanted is just a very rough idea,
I wanna design something that shows blood transaction, flow and the most important is Abstract! The first thing in my mind was using the blood that flows and create some silhouettes to shows how the blood could save people. But the result is just NORMAL, I wasn't satisfied what I designed. It doesn't really pushing my limit though, because it's just another USUAL illustration for me. It wasn't really a challenge at all, so I decided to change my design. So I do a lot of research from books and internet and finally came out a very good idea.

Book References @ Taylor's Library

I found a book from my university, I looked at it for a second and the idea suddenly came out. Blood transaction doesn't really need to use blood to show the flow, it also can use LINE to replace it. After getting the idea, I started to surf the internet and look at most of the line illustration design, it was very inspiring.

The images above are the image that inspired me the most. After that I came out my own design and showed it to my friends and family. But I found out that most tenagers and adults can understand my concept and what I wanted to approach except for the elderly. I was kinda upset because I wanted to design something that everyone can understand, but it's kinda difficult for me by now. This is my first time of try this kind of style, so many parts I can't do something like those Line Artists, I'm still need to improve on my design. So I went to Ms Anis and asked for her comment, see what can I improve my artwork.

1st Tryout: Front 

1st Tryout: Back

Ms Anis suggested that I need to specify some parts that allow people to recognized the people. The important part are the head, hands and legs. I was happy after she said it's a good try for me and the work looked nice. Make me feel like all my hardwork is worth and not just about marks or result etc, it's about satisfaction. So after the consultation, I did some changes on the artwork and went to LAP SOON to print out.

Here is the final artwork:
