Final Assignment: Card Making

 Assignment:
We had to create 2 greeting cards using themes chosen by ourselves. The themes included pop-up, typography, doodling, cut-out, etc. We were to present our strengths and show what we were good at.

 I presented two themes to Ms Lisa, doodle/characterture and typography. Ms Lisa instructed me to do typography as i was much better at it than the other theme i did. She suggested I do a watercolour background after seeing the work i did for another class. She also suggested i use glitter and cut outs to make the card less flat, which typography typically is.

 Following Ms Lisa's suggestions, i did a watercolour background for both my cards, using appropriate colours according to the occasion; Pinks and reds for Valentines day and bright/happy colours for birthday. I tried to incorporate interactive features such a pop-ups and dangling hearts to add a more interesting factor to my cards. I kept the cover of the cards very minimal because i wanted to focus to be on the inside of the card.

 Overall, I really enjoyed doing this assignment because i love typography and i usually create cards for my friends so it wasn't anything new for me.

Colour Wheel Assignment

Assignment:
We had to produce an unconventional colour wheel by creating a 3D model which displays the 12 colours in the colour wheel.

I was pretty excited about the assignment when we first got it because I had a lot of ideas to suggest to my team mates, such as a hot air balloon, baking cupcakes and baking a rainbow cake. In the end, the Ms Lisa and the team decided to do a hot air balloon and we were all excited about it. 

We researched extensively and thought that it was quite do-able. We used lightweight raincoats as the panels for the hot air balloon and wire for the structure. We began by making a small scale prototype and we were overjoyed when it actually worked and floated up. However, when making the actual thing, our project got damaged and stolen so we had to redo everything. 

We purchased multiple colours of craft tissue paper because we researched and people had made successful DIY hot air balloons using it. We created a small lantern out of the tissue paper and it worked! Unfortunately, the tissue paper accidentally caught fire and burnt much of the lantern. Once again, we had to redo it. 

Sadly, we had to come up with something extremely last minute and made a stagnant hot air balloon model. I was very disappointed in the outcome and i wish i could have done a better job but i did my best with the circumstances.
