 For this week's in-lecture exercise, we were tasked to create a pattern using elements of design. I created my pattern using two-dimensional shapes like diamonds. From the 1st to the last frame (left to right), I slowly varied the space between the diamonds by decreasing the space. Hence, the amount of negative space will decrease and the amount of positive space will increase from the left to the right frames.

Research & Ideation For this assignment, we were tasked to create an infographic to create a visual representation of the data and information that we are working with. As I have recently read up about FinTech, I decided to create an infographic related to digital payments.

For this assignment, we were tasked to create a storyboard using 6 to 9 curated photographic images. I wanted to create a storyboard using activities in my daily life and hence wanted to create a storyline with one of my friends.

  For this week’s in-lecture exercise, we are required to pick five hues from an image and write a short write-up. I decided to pick a photo of a coffee from a cafe I visited. Overall, the image has very earthy, neutral hues and mainly consists of shades of brown, with some black and light grey shades. Since the shades I picked out are all very earthy and neutral, it gives off a calm feeling. The shades of brown convey a mood of being down-to-earth, warm, and stable. The shade of light grey conveys a professional and mature mood. The shade of black gives off a sophisticated and elegant mood. All the shades are working well in promoting this coffee as a relaxing, calming, and classy drink for a short getaway in a nice cafe.
