Memorabilia - music retail shop

CRASHING

"Although the body is dead, but the souls never die"

The sentences above are my shopname and tag line. My shopname is the same with my keywords. Which means that, when theirs a very high pitch voice it able to made the glass crack. This is how I connected my music general (hard rock) with my interior style (deconstruction). At the same time, deconstructizm is something repetitive uneven shapes jist like broken glass in pieces. In my music retail shop my product is Ibanez jem electric guitar and hard rock music albums. 

Compact listening booth

For this assignment, we are required to do a 3D compact listening booth model for a music retail shop. Which needs a public space and private space in this listening booth. Public space means that a opened space for customers that wouldn't stay long up to 5min, wanted temporary music then goes off. Private space means that a closed space for customers to enjoy the music without distribution.

Rhythm Wall

"Whisper In The Dark"

In this second assignment, we' required to do a model with 2400 mm height x 2400 mm lenght x 300 mm with the theme of hard rock music genre. In my latest post, Me and my group mates had done a presentation about Hard Rock music genre with a Info-graphic board. After that based on our understanding of hard rock, made a rhythm wall with white colour which is the only colour we can use on this model.

The first thing that came out in my mind is ripped clothes, because mostly hard rock bands their outfit was ripped, leather with heavy make up and extreme hair style. I get inspired by their fashion and so came out with this design. Which is the eye recognize as when they sing at the higher tone, the pupil of the eyes will smaller and the eyes looks wider and bigger.

For the clothes I choose t-shirt fabric because when it ripped it looks soft but strong at the same time. As for the eyes I choose paper clay because when it dried off, the surface of the clay will rough and crack outcome. 

I finished my rhythm wall model with a tag line called "whisper in the dark", this is one of the lyrics in hard rock music which I heard it from the radio. I set this tag line for my model because it suits the feeling that I want to express, the eye is like hiding in the dark do not let other know its an eye but something else. It looks mystery when added the ripped clothes, which proved my tag line. At the hard rock concert, the whispering from the back stage, the mystery of the bands.

Music

In this particular subject that I had in this semester, all assignments are related to music genre.

On the first class in week 2, we have a draw on the selection of music genres and based on the music genres find your group mates which is same music genre. My music genres was hard rock music, which I'm not so good at it. Basically, it considered is my first time touch this kind of music genres. 

After that we group into 5 people per group and I group with Chiang shu ling, Tia Nellisa, Claudia and Dickson. Before the next tutorial start, we discussed on our design for info graphic. After we had tutorial with Ms Shar, although we change our design but our information is on the right track. On the next day, we started to do our info graphic board which is in A1 sized.

This is our Hard Rock music genre Info graphic board and our feedback from both lecturer is too much words, graphic too less.

In this music genre, we discussed around 10 main point and each people get 2 for the further explanation. I get characteristic, example and public opinion.

Basically, Hard rock was influenced by Blue's music. Which have the most frequently used scale in hard rock is the pentatonic. For the example, I found some top hard rock band which is quite famous in Asia. As for the public opinion, I did 30 set of survey forms which consist 3 queastion, "do you listened to hard rock music before?", "What did you feel?", and "How many hard rock songs that you have in your playlist".

Overall for this new music genre for me, I'm still ok with it. But I still cannot accept the rhythm.

Final Review of Survival Assignment

On 6th July 2015, is our final presentation on our final project - Survival Project from the subject Introduction to Interior Design Project. We need to present our story board, survivor pod and weapons. In the last class of Design Communication, we learned how to composed our presentation board. So in our presentation board we need to apply what we had learn on that class.

My Presentation corner.

My story board,

My presentation board,

My survival pod,

After my presentation, I get feedback from the lecturer who review my presentation. He said that there's too much paused when I talked about my storyboard and I should mention how I get my final design for my survival pod. I agreed what he said because I'm too nervous due to I'm the first to review and I have no idea I will be the first to present. Anyways, first semester of degree is over and I know I must improve myself through a few practice during semester break. Hope that I can mange to upgrade myself well if not I wouldn't able to improve in Semester 2.

Model Making, Marker Rendering and Submission of Portfolio

Model Making:

Its nearly final and during this period, we do not have any drawing to do. Its kinda a released for me, because no need dealing with T-ruler, scale ruler and more. In addition, we does not need to bring so much stuff to campus (yayyy~). In this period, Ms Norji wants us to form a group with 4 peoples for model making assignments.

Presentation board:

Before doing this assignment, our lecturer demonstrate us on how do build it. After watched the demonstrate, I felt that quite easy and think that 1 person can do it all. While on progress, it proved that my thoughts are wrong. Its hard and consumed time, its not as easy as you think. We need to cut and stick each and every wall and steps of the stairs, stick PVC cover for the windows and frames. Plus, its tiny and we need to keep the model clean. So we tried to stick it without the glue stain left it there. 

Marker Rendering:

In this task, we learned to rendering on floor plan to make it more interesting. The purpose of this task is to let the client know what's the colour scheme of overall (furniture, wall and floor) and kind of material used of their interior. Its impossible to show client floor plan without rendering, the outcome will looks bored and dull for them. 

Its my first time using marker to rendering. Quite a good experience but its kinda scary during rendering, because I just bought the markers and when using the new markers the ink will easily spreed out. So when you rendering, you must be brave and confident on your strokes then you outcome wouldn't looks over inked.

Submission of Portfolio: 

On the 1st July 2015, we need to submit our portfolio which is all of our assignment put in A3 clear folder and attached with rings and our visual diary.

One point & Two point Perspective and Oblique Drawing

One point & Two point Perspective

In this exercise, we get to recognized a few points that form a Perspective. Such as, Ceiling Line (CL), Ground Line (GL) and more....

Two Point Perspective:

One Point Perspective:

In this exercise, I succeed on how to recognized the lines easily and I found out this technic really help me a lot. It guides perfectly and accurate.

Oblique Drawing:

In this task, we need to draw a structure by using oblique method drawing together with the title block.There's a plan and 2 elevation diagram in the given paper. 

I choose to do in 45 ° - 45 °

While doing this task, I realized that a professional Architecture drawing is not easy to draw. Due to in foundation, we used to draw in free hand in every drawing. But now in degree, every drawing has their own fixed way to draw. It must follow their exact ways and angle to do it, if not the outcome wouldn't be nice and looks not "formal". I should practise more on this technic so I wouldn't have so much of mistake when I continue on next sem.   

Isometric test:

Redang Island Field Trip

During our sem break, we have a field trip to Redang Island to get inspired for our final assignment for Introduction to Intrior Project and Design Communication. We spent 3 days 2 nights on the island. While on the Island, we snorkeling in the morning, sketching and explore the island in the evening and perform at night.

On the 1st day, Miss Norji give us a task. Sketch an item that you saw on the island. I sketch a beach volleyball court due to I missed the time in high school where is the first time I played volley ball.

On the 3rd day, Miss Norji conducted a small class which is about Paraline Drawing.

I learned to draw 3D by using angle and boxes, it makes it more parallel. 

Visual Diary Task:

Sketch note, when we going back from Redang Island to Taylor Campus...

Plan, Elevation and section of a house

In this task is quite though for me, because it needs actual measurement in everything. Thus, it needs a long period to finish due to we're a beginner, this is my first time drawing a exact hand-drawn  plan scale. Its quite fun but annoyed at the same time, because the measurement quite small and hard to erase when you did some mistakes.

Section

Right Elevation

First Floor Plan

Ground Floor Plan

These four I've done it twice due to some mistakes and I decided to redo it. It spend me around 4 hours plus to finished it, its hard but worth to try, 

Architecture Materials Symbols

As for today, we learned a few architecture symbols for the plans and the sizes for common doors and windows. For an example, doors is 2100mm height, 800mm width and the height between door lock to floor is 900mm. 

We measured exactly the door that we used by using T-ruler and convert it using scale ruler. Its quite hard to measure the exact length due to we did not have measuring tape with us. So some parts we predict it. 

Visual Diary Task: 

Analyse the architecture materials symbol (Plan, Section and Elevation)

For this tasks I recognize and know the symbols of Timber, Stone, Glass, Brick and Concrete. I know I have a tons of it to recognize because there're different symbols due to 1 type of materials with different kind like for Timber, the symbols between thick and maple are different. Although is quite hard but I will do my best!
