Compounding Project

One project of Graphic Design course-compounding opera, sports star and bus poster.
And I choose an opera "Un Ballo In Maschera" and my favorite tennis player, Maria Sharapova.

Playing effects

I used Photoshop(a painting software) to play some effects and found joys!


The girl, Ann, in the picture was eating a piece of cake.
That day was her birthday and she aped a role of Death Note(comic book) called L.
I immediately photographed this special frame.


No theme.
Just I love black and white.
And you?

Today is the second presentation of Traditional Paper Cutting. Eleanor wants us to show some delicate sketches this
week.

As a matter of fact, I had sat in front of my computer for 11 hours, sleeping at five o'clock in the morning. Expect for searching more complete research, I had started to design the pattern by Illustrator. At first, the works were so huge so I was at my wit's end! My direct senior told me to skim over a website called "dafont" which has a lot of fonts of special and beautiful patterns. Then, I downloaded those what I want and used them to beset a spotted deer cloth with national flowers. I traced and carved different patterns and composed them. My eyes were swollen and uncomfortable and my body was likely to go from bad to worse. After drawing, I prepared the spoken note to remind what I must say the next day.

I dragged my tired body and drowsy head to my classroom. Many classmates didn't sleep well, too. I just thought I'd like to free myself as soon as possible and rest temporately. So I volunteered to present my final ideas and Illustrator works. Although I didn't know what grade I got, Eleanor saw my efforts on this project. I felt gratified!

Now I have to search and buy appropriate material like foam and find the better factory to lase my items. I'm probable to spend huge money...>"<

OH！！@#$%^&*_+......

I was not really satisfied with my presentation. Although I found a lot of researches at pains, my poor English speaking was the major fatal wound.

I'd like to know how I can express my ideas when I don't prepare any note.

A fact proved...this was not a clever trying.

I said incoherently and felt depressed because of the awful expression.

Surely, not only spoken English but also my design must improve.
The topic of this project is "traditional paper cutting".
I want to combine Taiwan tradition with clothes, finding a rare animal in Taiwan called "spotted deer".
Our basic design teacher, Eleanor, suggested me that I should let the spotted deer paper cutting "dangle" from a body, not "wearing" it.
I realize and begin to revise my sketch.
Then, drawing the decorative patterns is the next challenge.
I must strive most! I hope Eleanor will identify with my design.
