HAND IN

Communication design is a program focused on information developing and visual communication which shows how media design can communicate with people ideas and messages. In the Communication Design program I can explore new skills I have not learned at high school before. This can help you improve your skills with digital design and try more stuff such as Advertising , Animation , Web design , Publishing and more about design . For me I found this course interesting when I was in high school and don;t know what to do next step for new life chapter , during the time when i was in highschool i had design class I looked at the bottle packaging in my desk try to make a new look for that for that moment I found out design quite interesting and apply for that course because I want to be a graphic designer. Until now i still felt bit worry with my digital design skill but over 6 week study Communication Design course I felt exciting cause every lesson i know more thing i haven't know before like example with Adobe Indesign , Illustrator … the difference between typography it not just about the text because the text design sometime can bring your the feel , the message behind . For me, communication design can also help bring everyone together , sometimes it is not just about the aesthetic look of yours , it also can be the aesthetic look and bring your message, your voice wants to tell people through your design that is why I found Communication Design is interesting.

I chose the concept of blue and the font I chose for my book type is “Magic Retro” because with me the ocean and magic is something that is really meaningful for me . I choose blue not other colour because , for me part of my theme is Ocean so that colour is represent for the ocean colour , blue also sky colour when u think about sky and ocean that bring for your the feel of freedom this is the message i want to telling to viewer through my typography . Magic Retro is the name i choose for my typography book first because it Magical is the theme i want to bring to viewer be freedom and dream , do what you want to do no matter what happen will coming to once you dared to dream  and go for it the magic will come and helping you when you trust yourself . The colour and the font is suitable with my pepeha because when ever I feel negative dont know to do for the next step i will thinking about the Ocean because i want to be freedom like a ocean no matter surrounded by natural influences , it is always be gentle and accepting all even it a good or bad . Part of the thing want to sharing to view is always be yourself , be confident , be creative and be positive , 

I really like that font because at first look I feel like that font brings for me the feel of dream and magic so that is why I choose Magic Retro and mix that with blue to fit with my theme pepeha . With Magic Retro  font i think it will going well by help me bring the message want to tell to people like how it bring for me the feel of dreaming and gentle , like the message I  want to tell at the beginning , I want to telling to the view the message of my pepeha like I Am  the blue Ocean but also it have to have something soft but dream in that to fit with the feel i want to bring is gentle like an Ocean . 

My message I want to bring to that is be yourself ,I was scared to do something because I could not  be confident all the time. If something bad happens, I will cry about it  . At this time I found out why don't we just open ourselves like an Ocean , just be gentle and accept all the things that happen in your life. Sometimes you should be happy accepting that . Sometimes, stay positive to accept that will help you to grow stronger and be the best version of yourself . That helped me a lot to build up my mindset now to be confident and trusting myself. I realise crying is not the way you deal with the problem , staying positive and trusting yourself is the key to help you deal with all the bad things coming to my life .  The term “Ocean and Magic” is the concept I used for this work to communicate with view . This course makes me understand more about what Communication design is and how I used that for my work to communicate with view by visual art , all the colour and font using having a story behind .

Magic Retro I choose for this concept because go back with the message I want to telling is about being yourself and be freedom like and ocean , the curl detail in this font remind me about the curl of the wave , I really interesting with that font because it bring for me the feel of a dreaming the curls and the way word character connecting to each other look really interesting for me . Reason why I chose the name for this media making is “Magic Retro” matching with the font name because same thing with the font. I want that art can also bring for viewers the same feel of dream and softer .

For The animatic it just basic base on my booklet , I still choosing the same colours as the book to make them relate and second i kinda like the colour pallet because making the feel refreshing and catching eyes . By doing the animatic i feel like this thing is quite hard for me because this stuff i havent done at high school before so during the time making the animatic i had watch tutorial on youtube and asking teacher , friends if i had any question .

I got some stuggle when I do the after effect with the key frame that why i cant play the video . I asked the teacher and got help the work much easy .

week 9 + 10

week 9 and 10 is about how we working on After Effect to creating an animatic video with the stuff we had done and the story board we plan to do . When i made a plan i realise that is make the work is more easy cause by that i able to know what i working on and what i need to continue with . I thinking the blue would be good idea for this project but i feel like if i keep stay with the same thing like the last project that will make the viewer feel bored so i try to mix it will other colour and i feel like Pink mix with Blue would be an good idea cause they still in the same pastel pallet

i feell this too colour go together make it feel like summer vibes , refreshing. i don't like the colour go darker because this kinda feel sadness and not matching with the front.

because i still haqve to learn more about affter effect so by the time i also looking at some video i found on youtube show me tutorial to trying on my work , those video kinda helpful because by that i can easy to learn with After Effect .

in the class at week 10 , we had learn about how to how to save and up load a video working we will do in canvas when we handing it in , this is a good activity because for the last assignment i have a little problem when i handing in the working the file is too big to hand in in canvas so by this one it will be less risk when we handing in the working in the last minute .

week 6

before start the uni break in this week is the last week we have with the booklet design . I have finish my book with the book name is magic retro - this also the same name with the type i use in the book , i name it " magic retro" also because this name is kinda the theme i want to bring into the book i made i want this bring to the viewer the vibe dreaming , fairy so the colour and the name will be match each other so well .

cause we also need to make the actual book soon during on our break time so after showing in class i also looking on youtube and pinterest to get some idea what my outcome gonna look like becasue i want the piut come will be a good quality .

that example is showing me how they making a book , in this mock up i realise the important when they puting image on that is making the book more interesting , and the colour is also important cause if u get the colour out of the colour palette matching it will make it look confusing also too much colour or image make the viewer not forcusing on the message you want to say cause other stuff will take them more attention then the type u saying . By this example i try to change my book to cut off some image not relate .

here also some more book example i found .

in the assignment it also asking for the video represent the book you making , this mean by looking at the booklet outcome i also have to make video introduct my book as well . this video is about maxium 4 minute , i think making a little intro so the represent video would be a good idea so i decied to record a little intro showing people like typography is everywhere us this really important that way relate to what i will say in the represent video also can make a little interesting cause i dont want the video just about boring talk straight 4 minute.
