Portfolio Crit

28/Mar/2019

Some good point:

Do not start at drawing execise, put some images let audience feel amazing.

When you take pictures of your book cover or sketchbook, you can show your hand areflipping a book.

Only one image in the first page.

30pt of text is too big.

No need to add text with each image.

Too many images in the same page, one to three are enough.

Let each page make sense, connecting them, even make a story.

Be more confident, show the pictures bigger.

I try to make a new portfolio with the suggestion.

Animation Crit

15/03/2019

Today we have a small group to have a crit of our animations and books.

I wrote down some notes of feedback to help me to improve my works.

My review:

Adding something to let people know what happen in the beginning.

Thinking of his family, what does it related to him. (can be an imagination)

Too long of eyes open and close

Children sounds at the end

Thinking about each sounds and frames

The crit group have 7 people who make animations and 7 people who make books.

We see each others works together and find some good points and something need to improve.

The book with papercuttings are very impressive for me. It is quite clever design, you can see all the story at the same time. It is very colourful and beautiful. This is a sad short story, so the designer arrangement the colour of paper become darker and dark with the story. However, it is not very cleae of the story, and not easy to understand.

Monday Course- Essay Brief

25/02/2019

Some notes of essay that we need to consider.

What do I already know?

I choose Information design to be my essay subject. The key words in question I think they are "present scientific or technical information using images" and illustrations or animation communicate information.

Maybe more easy to know some very difficult information. Maybe more impressive. In the past, they didn't have camera to take the pictures, so they used drawings to let people what them looks like.

What do you need to find out?

Concepts, Contexts, Examples

Research

SQ3R- survey, question, read, recite, review

Survey- evalating for relevance.

->blurb, index, contents, introduction and conclusion, chapter opening, keywords, reference list

Question- thinking about purpose

-> information, contexts, concepts, debates, examples

Read-dealing with difficult texts

-Looking up words

-reading around the author

-putting points with own words

-using related examples to support these ideas

-visualise what is being said

Recite-understand, apply, note taking

->Make sure my notes are usable- clear, concise, ordered

->Organise notes

Review- in planning and writing

Planning

Benefit

->make writing easier, clear structure, stay focused and relevant, rehearse my argument, make sure I don't lose the reader

How to planning?

->Strong introduction, sections, a conclusion

Writing

->making an argument

* support points with evidence, Be balanced-consider different sides, Take up a position-my views

->Identification and description

Compare and Contrast

Evaluation of Importance

Interpretation specific to your topic

Editing

->Re-draft, Refine

->Presentation-make sure everything is correct.

->Reference - 1. 'Direct quotation' 2. Paraphrase

->In-text citation, bibliography reference

*different sources have different reference formats

How to write different sources reference.

Reference: Maggie class and her power point.

Study Trip to the V&A: Interaction Design

04/Feb/2019

Study Trip to the V&A: Interaction Design week5

Group Li, jasmine Tez Yu, Cheon Young Park,Giwoo Lim.

1. I don’t know what’s real any more!

A key concept in video game studies is immersion. This refers to the feeling of getting lost or absorbed in a fictional world. We might think of getting caught up in the suspense of a thriller, or caring about movie characters as if they’re people we actually know. What different types of immersion do games create? Do they attempt to get us engrossed in a plot or empathising with characters? Might there be types of immersion unique to games – does enjoying moving around a virtual world count? Are there any games in the exhibition that seem to actively resist immersion?

1. The game uses nature’s virgin forests and ancient ruins to create a fascinating scene, and the changes in the seasons have given me a deeper experience of the game. Adding the melody and rhythm of the background music makes the game more vivid. The character’s movements are very smooth and smooth, allowing me to feel the physical movements that cannot be experienced in real life.

2. Journey, this game is the same as the name of the game. I want to experience a journey, through walking and ancient magic (flight) to experience different means of transportation. The runes collected during the journey of finding ancient ruins gradually formed a scarf that enriched the character with a mission that allowed multiple people to participate and experience and interact with their peers. Explore the world together. The clothing is very elegant, this part of the game maker has done a lot of real research, even directly to the desert value test, including the foot movements, the foot touches the sand when the situation is recorded, so in the game experience Let the visual senses bring realism. Part of the real part of the virtual game mix makes me more immersive.

3. Like, the virtual world allows me to experience the experience that cannot exist in real life. When I am in the virtual world, I not only experience different worlds but also experience the stories of the current characters, just like living in a different life. This kind of experience gives me different perspectives, so I like activities in the virtual world.

4. I feel that each game has his own different story and game experience. I don’t feel which game resists the immersion of the virtual world. This part is directly related to the individual’s recognition of the game.

Week2 Touching film

Jasmine Tsz Yu, Li jia En, Cheon Young Park, Giwoo Lim

Magic Paper (2017) by Guldies

Link: https://youtu.be/JJ_zMNNsmCk

This stop motion animation mixs virtual and reality. It uses sound and visual to make audiences understand what happened in this story. For example, the copy machine prints a paper with a picture of faucet, and it uses a sound to show the water drop into the real glass. The materials in this animation are common in our daily life like faucet, printer, notebook, and glass. It uses colour paper to replace real water, and uses picture to be a faucet.That’s quite interesting.

Blog Review

18/Jan/2019

Today teachers told us how to build our blog, not just put every thing and images on our blog. We need to manage the information and images and represent them. They also showed us some good examples from other students. Then give us some 1 hour to practice how to make a good blog.

Cabinets of Curiosity

15/Jan/2019 & 16/Jan/ 2019

In this module, we were drawing in museums.

The first day, we went to V & A childhood museum and the gallery which exhibit a lot of artworks that relate to medical subject.

We went to British museum on Thursday. We keep drawing objects and observing them carefully. We also draw one thing with many differwnt versions such as different colour, angle and materials.

After the end of a day, we gather around again, and discussed our drawing and found some really good points.

Week 1 - Documenting Differently

Group: Li Jia-En, Tsz Yu Chou, Chen Youn Park

We choose the Kingston market and explored and recorded the environment. Each of us tried to create different images from a different time.

9:00~10:00AM (Picture1,2)

In the morning, the vendors are busy preparing ingredients, no guests are sitting, or buying meat, vegetables or fruits.

13:00-15:00PM (Picture3,4)

In the afternoon, people began to get more, and the entire market began to get busy.

17:00～18:00PM (Picture5)

In the evening, the guests began to decrease, people went home, and the vendors began to pack up. End the busy day.

Sensory Design

Illustration Animation and Touch

14/Jan/2019

Embodiment

-> Five Senses

Sight

Touch

Hearing

Taste

Smell

'According to the lastest scientific estimates, there are at least ten senses and possibly as many as 33' (Howes 2009, pp.22-25)

Ocularcentrism （視覺中心主義）

-> The privileging of vision over the other senses.

-> 'Both Plato and Aristotle gave primacy to sight and associated it with reason.'

-> 'seeing is believing', 'see for yourself.' 'I see' Those sentences all use 'see', it shows that a sense of sight is the very important sense.

The Sensorium

The total character of the unique and changing sensory environments perceived by individuals.

Illustration and the Senses

How does illustration appeal to our sense of touch/hearing/smell/teste?

Touch: Book was made by different textures. e.x: Jason Shiga (2010) Meanwhile

Hearing: Some phone comics are show with the sound or music. e.x: Webtoon, Comico

Smell: e.x: Fumi Yoshinaga. Antique Bakery. Scratch and sniff covers

Taste: Give some candy or other things with book for audiences to teste them. e.x: Sally-Ann Hickman

Multisensory Design

-> Atmospherics, Kitchen Theory, Bompas and Parr

Touch and illustration as object

-> Papper cutting. e.x: Helen Musselwhite, Yulia Brodksaya, Lee ji- hee

Yulia Brodksaya

Interactivity-'tactile illustration'

-> Interactive haptic storytelling

Stewart Easton (2016) The Next Verse

Tactile Cinema: touch and animation

Vivian Sobchack (1992), The Address of the Eye: a phenomenology of film experience

Haptic Visuality

-> Our eyes 'function like organs of touch'

->'Haptic looking tends to move over the surface of its object rather than to plunge into illusionistic depth, not to distinguish form so much as to discern texture.' (Laura Marks 2002, The Skin of the Film: Intercultural Cinema, Embodiment, and the Senses, p.162)

-> Cinema of attractions, Direct animation, Stop-motion animation.

The Tactile imagination

Skin

Musculature

Viscera
