My First Project In Graphic Design | College



I'm in first year of BTEC Second Diploma in Graphic Design (and second year being in college), i was so nervous moving to new course, which means new people and some projects. My first project in this course is Persona, it's basically about myself, with self-portrait illustrations, sketches, collage, sculpture and doodles. Here are my self-portraits down below -

Julian Opie inspired.


The outcome of this project is that i have to design a book cover, a Persona of me, with 'epilogue'. My finished design is the first image at the top, i may have added the drop shadow far too much on vertical 'Persona'. I do have massively passions on flowers and the colour blackcurrent (or plum, whichever the colour that basically looks the same).

When my lecture open my design up on whiteboard screen and called my name, i was so nervous to talk about my work, even i was just sitting on the chair and talk, this was my first ever talk presentation in around of whole students who i've just met. I have actually never do that talk presentation in school, i was a quiet, very nervous young girl in school. But... i managed to get through it, i was just blathering away such as "Well, i like that colour", "i'm obsessed of flowers", "there's my eyes and mouth with the face of whatever that was", and so on.

And finally, here's my little pet creation, Rose, she have a body of guinea pig, a head of fluffy pom-pom and her antenna of two colour roses.

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t
