    CLASS SUMMARY


    WEEK 1

    In the First class, Mr Hafiz guided us to join Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams to get any learning resources or announcements. After that, he wanted us to play The Bezier Game, take a screenshot of the results and send them to Team Chat.


    WEEK 2

    Mr. Hafiz taught us how to create characters using Adobe Illustrator. Through the shape materials he shared with us, we were able to create various creative characters.


    WEEK 3

    In this class, Mr. Hafiz taught us how to look at real pictures and edit them into digital illustrations. He showed us how to express light and shadow using a picture of the fruit pear.


    WEEK 4

    This time, Mr. Hafiz showed us how to edit a man's picture by showing light and shadows using various colours and graphic images.


    WEEK 5

    Mr. Hafiz's sick leave.


    WEEK 6

    Mr. Hafiz posted two new tasks; Milestone (Vormator) and Decisive Moment. He told us how to do these things. He explained exactly what the urban legend meaning he wanted us to mean by showing several examples.

        Fig 1.1.2 Examples  of Vormator (Week 2 / 4.10.2023)


        After looking at the examples, I created the character using the shapes Mr Hafiz gave us in Adobe Illustrator.

        Task 1: Exercise 2 - Chiaroscuro

        EXAMPLES of Chiaroscuro 1

        Fig 1.2.2 Examples of Chiaroscuro (Week 3 / 11.10.2023)


        After seeing the examples he gave and showed, I started my work. First, the shape of the fruit pear was made using Adobe Illustrator.

        And then, the slices of fruit cut into several pieces were depicted in various images.

        Mr. Hafiz explained how to improve their tasks using his examples. It was a little tough, to be honest, but as I finished it, I got the hang of it.

        Task 1: Exercise 3 - Milestone (Vormator)

        As a final step for this Vormator Challenge, we were encouraged to create Pokémon cards for our  Vormator characters.

        EXAMPLES of Milestone (Vormator)


        Fig 1.3.1 Example of Milestone (Week 6 / 1.11.2023)



        Fig 1.3.2 Example of Milestone (Week 6 / 1.11.2023)


        After Mr. Hafiz's words, I realised my character needed some more changes for its shape. So I decided to change a little bit about its clothes and background.

          REFLECTION


          Experience

          I think there was a lot of difficulty in carrying out the task because it was my first time doing it. However, I thought this was also a process of learning and tried hard to complete it.


          Observations

          First of all, it was amazing to be able to create various characters or pictures with this illustrator app. I have reached various limits while designing, but I saw it grow as I tried to try new things.


          Findings

          I keep saying it, but it was so much fun to learn new things. Although I sometimes wanted to rest and put off what I had to do because of my lack of ability, I can say that I had fun completing this project.
