LECTURE

1. Practice and Play Bezier Game 
    Link : https://bezier.method.ac

Fig. 1 

This is my first time playing this game and I also have never used pain tool before so this is really new experience for me. It was actually quite challenging when aligning the dots especially because I'm still using trackpad so the line tend to be imprecise. However, it was still a fun activity for a pen tool tutorial. I do sometimes going back again just to test myself. 
    

 

PRACTICAL

2. Create a E-portfolio blog
3. Register Pinterest & Behance(optional) account
4. List down 3 favorite graphic design work from Pinterest. 
   Then, explain why I like the designs?

 When I first saw this design, I instantly knew that I had to include this into my favorite list. My initial thought was how nice and clean the artist's presentation of using gradient color. And after I observe the poster on the second look, the artist seems to use spring as their theme. I am actually pretty confused about what is the connection between the season of spring and the color chosen here as I can't really find the artist's description of their work. However, this is how I interpret this poster. The blue color may represent the cold weather and red is the opposite of it, hot weather and when the transition between this two weather collide they make spring. Well, this is how I  think about this piece. Either way I personally enjoy this type of design and most of the time they always catch my eyes first.

First and foremost, I just want to mention that this design particularly reminds me of one of  the brand 'Converse' collection named Golf le Fleur which their flower pattern is one of my personal favorite. Even though, after further reading this piece may not have any relationship with that brand but that was my initial thought. This design as the artist mentioned  is categorized as a psychedelic  art. Yes, I didn't know what this was at first. But, I discovered that this type of art is made when the artist in drugged or hallucinating. After knowing the origin of this design, finally I can understand why they have distorted checked and flower patterns. However, my intention to include this at first just because of their color palette and the unique choice pattern that the artist creates.

Honestly, I can't really elaborate on the context in this package design because I don't understand Japanese but I really love the retro style in here. They only use red and blue to fill the content here yet the designer use both effectively. This packaging has a good balance between functionality and aesthetic. Hence, why it got included in my top three favorite design.
