9.10.2024 (Week 3) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 3 INSTRUCTIONS Week 3 1. Symmetry For "symmetry", I looked at a lot of references in Pinterest on what shape and motion I should go with. There isn't particularly any reference that I want to specifically follow, but after scrolling for a long time to the point I started zoning out and making my own wild shapes and motions (even though there is a fair chance I won't be able to execute it due to my lack of After Effects skill), I finally decided to work with square shapes. I made a couple squares and tried to place them at the centre (I took some time to snap them to the centre, and for some reason, they like to move around), and then I tried to play with the scale and rotation to see if anything comes to mind. For some reason, the play of square and diamond shapes makes a pretty decent shape. I put every square or diam

2.10.2024 (Week 2) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 2 INSTRUCTIONS Week 2 On the 2nd week, we had another on-site class meeting with Mr. Fauzi. We were given an introduction to motion graphics. We were shown several examples of motion graphics, and how the process is divided into several compositions before they were all merged into one video. Afterwards, Mr Fauzi gave us our first task, which was to remake 4 of the 8 basic principles of form and design. We are to work on the 4 principles on the bottom part. We were also given a tutorial video for us to refer to while working on the project. fig 1. Demo video for Project 1 Part 1 From this composition, the principles that I need to remake with my own version the "symmetry", "focus", "scale", and "rhythm".

Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 1

25.9.2024 (Week 1) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 1 INSTRUCTIONS Week 1 During the first week, we had an on-site class with Mr. Fauzi, where we received a briefing about our semester activities. Mr. Fauzi provided us with the MIB to review, and he also presented some of the tasks we will be undertaking this semester, along with examples of works from previous students. To start the semester, Mr Fauzi assigned us the task of researching motion graphics on the Internet. Our job is to list three of the best motion graphics we found in the given Google Docs and explain why we love them. In the google docs, we also give the link to our e-portfolio as well as our Pinterest board, which most likely is for sir to see our creative thinking process.

Design Research Methodology

23.9.2024 - ______ (Week 1 - Week 14) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Design Research Methodology INSTRUCTIONS WEEK 1 On the first week, Ms. Jinchi gave us a general brief on what we are going to do in this semester. To my understanding, this module will be some kind of introduction to design research. We are going to do some research in a more basic level, before taking it to the next level with the Design Research Dissertation module in the future semester. We are to choose the design specialization that we wanna delve into for this module. Note that this chose specialization only applies to this module alone, and won't affect our actual specialization in our study. By the end of this week, we are to look into the specialization briefing videos provided by Ms. Jinchi, and then we can decide on what specialization that we wanna take, as well as to come up with a research topic for us to discuss with our resp

24.9.2024 -  12.11.2024 (Week 1 - Week 7) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Advanced Animation - Exercises INSTRUCTION Exercise 1: Bouncing Ball In this exercise we were instructed to make a bouncing ball animation for several types of ball: Soccer ball, ping pong ball, bowling ball, and beach ball. For week 3 deadline, we're only instructed to make a solid non-stretch ball since the squash-and-stretch ball is gonna be taught in week 3's class. First off we were taught the basics, including how we can apply a bone structure to move a shape to it's desired form. This technique will be useful when we need to apply complicated forms like a full body character. fig 1.1 applying bone to a shape Now we proceeded to learn how to make a basic bouncing ball animation. In class, we were taught step by step on how to make a soccer ball bounce animation. PROCESS Soccer: First, we need to determine the location of the camera and how w
