DESIGN STUDIO YEAR ONE SEM2

Project 1: The inspiration of emerging trends(Exploration of inspirations studies)

An introductory task which to engage students conducting research on inspiration base studies and identifying prominent key words based on the nature of selected inspiration. Key words finding are vital in identifying design elements and characters that can be found and interpret them into the basic principle in design(line, volume,etc). The outcome of the research will be presented in Sculpture Poster manner as submission.

A sculpture which emphasizes few keywords: metal, curvy, repetition, and also burst.

Project 2: 'Interactive Interiors' of Pod Design (Exploration of Functions& Space Ideas)

The project is designed for students to develop the pod space design with activities such with information retrieve involving the mechanism used in the design. Continuing from project 1a, the design idea will be expand for this project as well to instill the ideas of" interactive" in the space for the proposed activities involved.

A pod with interesting interactive mechanism: a tri-function panel-storage, mirror and music instrument. Second interactive mechanism: a rotatable viewing stand.

Project 3: 'X'-Tra Exhibition Space Creation (Expression of Space)

Exhibition space design for contemporary gallery to include with "extra" activity that comes together with the exhibits. The design of the interior must be inspired by the selective keywords as well to accommodate the needs of displays or exhibits manner. The touch of 'X'tra ordinary in the design will distinguish the normal gallery design. This is the final project combine idea and research from project 1a &1b.

Final project.  A penang transportation gallery "Capriole Future Transportation Gallery" and actually Capriole means jump. Capriole future means bringing people to future. In my gallery, i emphasized on few keywords which are metal, technology, repetition, modernism and technology. I tried to apply these keywords on the sized space(7000*11500) ,and this can be seen from the circle window(found from research that circle shape plays a important role in futuristic theme), suspended display item( a point of futuristic), futuristic furniture, repetition (ceiling , lighting,partition), huge display area(modernism and a little simplicity taste of typical modernism), hi-tech display panel,information board.

Besides, there is also few interactive activities which i set in my gallery, for example map area ,people(especially tourist and students=my crowd target) can take picture and usually people nowadays will straight away post and share on internet. Indirectly, this can just spread the popularity of this gallery. Apart from this, people can listen to the device which set in gallery to listen to the speaking information about gallery.  There is an interesting part in my gallery , since this gallery display items are based on penang transportation and as we all know penang is trying hard to push on ecosystem , recycle concept to residents. So there is one! People cycling and generate electricity to light up traffic lights. Furthermore, hi-tech panels used as information boards to attract people's interest towards science. 

In this final project, i have learnt that time management is really important as time controls quality of work. Besides, thanks to my lecturer ms Aida and panels who have given me many good advice , suggestions and comments.

Never a failure, always a lesson. All the best.

Story board

 Storyboard(on tracing)

Storyboard (rendering)

Storyboards are used to tell the story of my gallery design. A futuristic themed transportation gallery "Capriole future transportation gallery" which is located on penang hill. In this drawing, i have learnt how to use appropriate line quality, apply different line weight and draw architectural lettering and arrow. Triad tone colour was applied on it which are yellow, red and blue,

Two points perspective

Two point perspective(Estimated method-MP)

Two point perspective, 3D drawing was produced with using horizontal line and vp line. After selected the angle i want, a vertical line was used to mark height of objects and wall.

After enlarged the box drawing, i added furniture and some decoration into the drawing. Last, i traced the drawing on tracing paper.

Applied complimentary colour on the photostat of drawing. in this assignment, i used red ,green markers and colour pencils in different tone. Besides, i also tried to use green marker to show the glossy stain of the dining table. Human figures and plant were added to demonstrate depth of the space.

Two points perspective(on tracing)

In this two drawings, i have learnt how to produce 3d drawing referring to the photos taken with using appropriate line quality and apply different line weight. 

Unfortunately, didnt do well on tracing paper, line quality are poor and not neat enough. Take this as a lesson, will improve more in following work.

Model making presentation & photography

Model making presentation & photography

In this assignment, i made a scale model which is an effective way to show my design idea. After photography section, i used photoshop to compose them and complete my presentation layout.

Expended/exploded paraline view

Axonometric(draft on cartridge)

Axonometric(final on tracing)

In this drawing, i have learnt to draw 3D drawing using proper drafting techniques with appropriate line quality and apply different line weight.
