Design Proposition - Contents

Edward was known as an ‘Unfinished Man’ that was invented by a man that suddenly died due to heart attack. He is a man with scissors on his hands.

The first segment was about how Edward involved and get along with the Boggs’ family. Peg Boggs brought him out from his mansion to her home. Edward was accepted by Boggs family and the neighbourhood at first.

The second segment is where the peak moment of Edward being liked by the neighbourhood since he is capable of cutting anything that turns out well. He brought the different vibes into the neighbourhood by cutting the trees, dogs hair, human hair and even ice berg.

The third segment is where the downfall moment of Edward since he helped Jim to robbed his own house. The neighborhood starts to have bad impressions towards him. Yet there was a moment he wanted to help from being hit by the van but he accidentally hurt the person instead.

The third segment is where the downfall moment of Edward since he helped Jim to robbed his own house. The neighborhood starts to have bad impressions towards him. Yet there was a moment he wanted to help from being hit by the van but he accidentally hurt the person instead.

In my view regarding this movie, Edward Scissorshands behavior's and what he did throughout the movie is a reflection of his upbringing and the challenges he faces due to his physical and social uniqueness which I think is a tragic life experience. Nevertheless, this movie encourages viewers to embrace diversity and accept people for who they are, regardless of their differences. It promotes themes of empathy, kindness, and the idea that what makes someone unique can also be what makes them special.

Design Proposition - Week 1 Self Reflections

SACRIFICE Have we ever pondered the toll exacted from both humanity and nature to forge the grand tapestries of cities and highways? Indeed, we revel in the leisurely journeys between destinations, accompanied by melodies and laughter. Yet, do we remain cognizant of the profound sacrifices made for our convenience—sacrifices by nature, creatures, and our fellow humans? They surrendered their homes, cherished bonds, and much more.

Amidst the urban landscape, I find solace in driving through bustling cities, prompting reflection upon the multitude who gave up their short-term gains for the betterment of our collective future. It is in appreciation that we can repay this debt, acknowledging their selflessness.

As I gaze upon the collage works of my peers, I am struck by their unique perspectives. Take Shervina's creation, for instance, where the very essence of her artwork is born from the sounds that echoed when papers and tools fell while she crafted her collages. It's a glimpse into how art resonates with the world, born from the unplanned and unexpected.

REMINISCENCE I've long envisioned my life as a collection of chapters in an unwritten tome. Yet, unlike reading a book, where one can anticipate the beginning, follow the plot, and foresee the ending, my life's narrative remains an enigma. I can recall fragments from my early chapters, perhaps from Chapter 5, but now I find myself amidst Chapter 24, uncertain of when and how this chapter will conclude.

These reflections transport me back to the days of my youth when I was an incorrigible daydreamer, a trait that persists to this day. As I gaze upon the sepia-toned memories of my tender years, I'm struck by the relentless worry that accompanied me. I would often ponder the contours of my future: What would it look like? How would I navigate the labyrinthine decisions of adulthood? What sacrifices would be required?

The passage of time has transformed my daydreams into a relentless cascade of thoughts, leading me down the treacherous path of overthinking. I grapple with concerns, at times fixating on matters that should scarcely hold my attention.

The jar, a symbol of life's intricate tapestry, brims with puzzle pieces interwoven like the threads of destiny, and adorned with delicate blooms. Each puzzle piece signifies an aspiration waiting to be fulfilled.

Arranged like constellations, the completed puzzle fragments encircle the jar, marking the achievements etched into the fabric of time. Some treasures have settled at the jar's base, while flowers grace its crown, a testament to the blossoming of our endeavors according to a divine plan that never falters.

Yet, scattered outside the jar, lie pieces that remain part of the grand design, awaiting their appointed moment to be gathered.

To witness the culmination of this journey, I must painstakingly assemble each piece.

As I ponder, a question unfurls in my mind like a delicate ribbon: Once the puzzle is solved, will it signal the closing of this chapter in my life's story?

Design Proposition - Week 4 Self Reflections

INTENTION Finding our true identity is important in design purposes because it allows us to create authentic and meaningful experiences, products, and solutions that resonate with our target audience and align with our values and vision.

By finding your true identity, keep asking yourself if you are comfortable in whatever you are doing now? What is your true intention towards design?

To find yourself in your intention towards design and balance, it's essential to reflect on your personal values, creative goals, and the impact you want to make through your design work. This self-discovery process can help you strike a harmonious equilibrium between your artistic expression and the functional, user-centered aspects of design, resulting in designs that are not only visually appealing but also purposeful and meaningful.

CYANO

Besides the usual mediums I am accustomed to, my introduction to Cyanotype marked a new experience for me. Cyanotype is a photographic printing method that generates blue prints through the use of light and coated paper. Originating from the Greek word ' cyan ', signifying ' dark-blue impression '. This process differs from albumen prints that tend to have brownish tones or silver gelatin prints with gray and black tones. Its fundamental technique involves applying a 1:1 solution of Potassium Ferricyanide and Ammonium Ferric (III) Citrate onto a surface, which must then dry in darkness.

Initially, I was enthusiastic about this new process, but I ended up somewhat disappointed with the results as they didn't align with my expectations. Perhaps I encountered difficulties during the composition. Nevertheless, I cherished the moments and memories created during this activity, considering it was a first-time experience for everyone involved.

i made stuff In the gentle whispers of creativity's call, one must immerse themselves in the essence of materiality, weaving dreams from the very fabric of thought. Long before the hands touch the canvas of design, one should embark on a journey, exploring the boundless horizons of possibility. The muse, material, waits patiently, like a dormant volcano, for the artist's revelation.

She, a sorceress of creation, acknowledges the quirks of her craft, where the clay sometimes defies her wishes. In the face of such challenges, she gazes into the soul of her creations, seeking solace in the shapes and forms she cherishes.

Undaunted, she reignites her spirit, vowing never to surrender, birthing anew her artistic visions with each dawn.

Among her creations, the plastic tote bag stands as a testament to her ingenuity, a phoenix reborn from discarded plastic. It morphs into a daily companion, distinct from mundane totes, each stitch echoing the refrain of sustainability and style.

In the realm of her imagination, the medicated storage emerges as a whimsical marvel, shaped from clay. An artful solution to the chaos on her makeup desk, it cradles the tiny, fragile tiger balm, ushering order into the chaos of her life.

Time dances as she molds her thoughts into tangible wonders. The process, though time-consuming, is an elixir for her soul, a refuge from the storm of stress.

Each creation, a piece of her heart, an echo of her essence.

Before the journey commences, the compass of inspiration must be set. It's not an arduous quest, for the kaleidoscope of social media awaits, a treasure trove of ideas and dreams. As we traverse its digital landscape, we gather the fragments of creativity like stardust, seeding our minds with the magic of artistry.

PRINCIPLES Initiate your journey by harboring a myriad of questions within your thoughts. Delve into the realm of possibilities, acknowledging the potential challenges and threats, such as the patterns etched in the human journey and the energetic forces that inhabit the site. It matters not whether these forces are unseen or the prevailing environmental conditions; this fundamental concept will be your guiding star in the art of design.

Data collection holds a special place in Ms. Suzy’s heart, as she diligently records every piece of information before commencing work on any prototype intended for the end user. Keep in mind that our designs are not tailored for our own desires but crafted with the end user in mind. How will they employ it, and in what manner will they interact with it?

Ms. Suzy's guidance emphasizes the importance of always considering the user's perspective in any structural endeavor, especially when designing for public use, where the audience can be diverse.

Before embarking on the construction of structures that are not our own, it is imperative to honor and adapt to the daily routines and habits of the intended users, thereby infusing the design with a profound understanding of the human element.

Remember that the allure of a design on paper does not necessarily guarantee its success in real life; the true art lies in the harmonious fusion of aesthetics and functionality, creating a creation that resonates with the hearts and lives of those who will encounter it.

Design Proposition - Week 7 Self Reflections

As designers, it's crucial for us to remain handson in our work, even when we have a team assisting us.

Ms. Suzy meticulously gathered all the necessary data before moving forward with the concepts she had brainstormed, ensuring that her designs would seamlessly translate into practical, real-world solutions.

Isn't it remarkable to possess this innate approach to design thinking? Ms. Suzy hails from an artistic family; her father, an artist who captured the essence of places in the 1900s, instilled in her a unique perspective.

Surprisingly, she refrains from admiring her father's artwork and remains neutral toward it.

Nevertheless, she subtly demonstrates that her artistic lineage is deeply ingrained within her.

She possesses a natural talent for art and design thinking, perceiving the world through an artistic lens, and discerning possibilities and connections that others may overlook.

DISCOVER Discover new method in design is not a crime right?

In this particular episode, we unraveled the intriguing process of crafting distinctive shapes within a novel software called 3Ds Max. While this method promises to save us time, mastering the software will naturally require some effort, given our novice status.

Moreover, this journey of discovery doesn't stop there. We've also stumbled upon the exciting revelation that our model structures can materialize in the physical world through the magic of Augmented Reality (AR), all achievable through our own devices.

Augmented Reality or so called AR is an enhanced, interactive version of a real-world environment achieved through digital visual elements, sounds, and other sensory stimuli via holographic technology.

The versatile applications of this cutting-edge technology have found remarkable success in various professional domains, notably in healthcare, where it aids surgeons in non-invasive procedures, and in the business sector, where it facilitates on-site machinery maintenance and provides real-time, hands-free support.

Consider, for instance, the realm of design. Building a complex wall with an organic or curved structure traditionally involves significant costs and time.

Presently, bricklayers follow plans, making adjustments as they go. Now, envision a worker donning a pair of mixed reality glasses that display a holographic guide for each brick's precise position. As each layer is added, the software dynamically adjusts for variations in brick angles, streamlining the process and reducing human errors.

Discovered new method in designing is another story of us. Overall, we really enjoyed learning and yet we help our peers that sit next to us when we kinda lost at some moment.

Design Proposition - Week 10 Self Reflections

IMPEDIMENTA Mr. Danial Ismail has broadened our perspective on design. We often associate the term "design" with architectural structures, but its scope can extend far beyond that. In fact, design can be applied to everyday items like tables, chairs, and sofas.

In the world of design, it's not limited to large-scale spatial planning; you can begin with smaller objects. Handcrafted design, in particular, holds great value and receives high appreciation.

Mr. Danial introduced his design, and among the captivating pieces, the +P12 chair stood out the most. This chair was crafted to emphasize the graceful contours of molded plywood and the organic textures of leather.

These materials, seemingly contrasting, harmonize beautifully to create a striking visual composition. The chair is meticulously designed with ergonomics in mind, perfectly tailored to human measurements, and meticulously crafted, devoid of the cold touch of industrialization.

Moreover, a remarkable feature of the chair is the separator at the backrest, designed for those who enjoy reclining and tilting their shoulders to one side. When the user reclines, the separator smoothly shifts backward, allowing for a comfortable and customized experience.

‘ Get inspired to inspire ’

Indeed, we have the freedom to explore beyond the confines of traditional architectural or interior design elements to find richer sources of inspiration. It's important to recognize that design is an integral part of the storytelling process.

‘ Create your own render style ’

Sharing knowledge with peers is an invaluable pursuit in life, as it allows for the potential fulfillment of others' needs. I admire Jessie's generous sharing of her expertise in Sketchup software; this fundamental act can yield significant differences.

During her session, Jessie emphasized the importance of creating timelines for our tasks, enabling us to allocate ample time for completion well before the submission deadline. Her advice encourages a gradual but steady approach. Additionally, she advocated for the development of a unique rendering style, which would distinguish our work and resonate with both peers and instructors as they assess our masterpieces.

I am profoundly grateful for Jessie's presence as our guest lecturer. Her wealth of knowledge has proven immensely beneficial to us in the present moment and undoubtedly holds promise for our future endeavors.

This will serve as evidence of our learning in the Design Proposition class, a tangible outcome from our weekly sessions. Personally, I aim to further develop my skills in curated and narrative drawing. Hence, I've selected the knowledge gained in Week 11 as a demonstration of my progress in the class.

Tact Dining aims to offer a space where people can relish new culinary experiences prevalent in today's food culture. Beyond providing gastronomic delight, my intention is to create an environment that engages individuals while they await their meals, allowing them to explore new textures and patterns.

I've chosen ' patterns ' as the focal point of my final assignment because, over the past few years, I have extensively drawn patterns in my sketchbooks. Many of my peers recognize me for this particular interest, and I am ecstatic to have found something that truly resonates with me.

Admittedly, most of the patterns I have drawn, often termed as ' doodles ', have been for my personal amusement. I derive immense pleasure from experimenting with pen thicknesses while drawing. One of the perks of doodling is that imperfections often go unnoticed by others, it's something only you may notice.

SELF REFLECTION Design encompasses a wide spectrum, allowing for limitless expressions driven by individual creativity and design has no bounds. Anything crafted with one's creative mind qualifies as design.

Each week in Design Proposition classes introduces us to fresh insights and methodologies in the realm of design. We explore numerous approach to design.

Understanding that Interior Architecture or Architecture isn't limited to just buildings and homes, even minute elements like furniture and objects hold architectural significance.

Anticipation fills me whenever the Design Proposition class approaches. Whenever Ms. Aishah asks us to bring materials, I'm curious about our upcoming activities or creations. The thrill is genuine.

The guest lecturers have been immensely supportive, especially encourage us to explore our unique design paths that would mirror our identity. I firmly believe that our designs should reflect our essence, allowing peers and outsiders to recognize our distinctiveness.

This experience has broadened my horizons, giving me a clearer direction towards my passion for my future pursuits in what I'm passionate about. I'm still exploring and contemplating ways to expand my artwork's reach, aiming for it to captivate audiences at any time.

Lastly, I want to express my deep appreciation for Ms. Aishah. She's the most finest lecturer I've encountered. She consistently making her classes exciting. We eagerly awaited each session with her.
