Design Principles
Project 1 - Self Portrait 


INSTRUCTIONS




PROJECT 1 
For our first project, we were required to create a self portrait by using the design principles that we learned with any media. My idea for this project is to create a self portrait in a frame. First, I draw myself digitally by using Adobe Illustrator. After that, I print out the drawing and move on to trace the outline on a transparent pvc cover. At first, I was trying to trace the outline for the whole self portrait  but it looks messy. So, I ended up tracing some part of the outline. For the frame, I found some unwanted box and cut it to the size of A4 to fit my self portrait. To wrap the frame, I used the aluminium foil as I want some textures on it. I faced a lot of problems when doing the frame as the measurement need to be really accurate and it took me a lot of times. Another problem I faced was that I accidentally mess up my drawing when I was trying to combine it with the frame. So, I have to reprint it and do the tracing again. The outcome wasn't that good as this is my first time making the frame, but I would like to take this lesson to improve myself for my others assignment.

15/01/19 - 03/02/19 | Week 2 - Week 4 Yeoh Xiao Shi (0331577) Information Design Project 1 LECTURE Lecture 5 : Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H 15/01/19 (Week 2) Today, we were required to deliver a presentation on Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H which includes the five principles of information organisation. Among many ways of showing the data, L.A.T.C.H has been proven to be the efficient one because nearly all organisation schemes of the data can be organised by following it. Throughout the lecture, I got to hear my classmates' ideas on these principles and have a better understanding of how I could apply them when organising information for the upcoming projects. Below are my lecture notes and the compilation slides for today's lecture. Lecture Notes :  Compilation PDF slides for week 2 presentation : Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H.
