Figure 1.1: My score for the Bezier game

    This is a very new and awesome game to me because it really gets the gears moving in my brain due to its complexity whilst being fun and challenging. The challenge/game took me around 30 minutes to complete which I think is a decent duration.

2. Create your E-Portfolio blog.

Explain why you like the designs?

Figure 4.1: First favourite design 

1. The very first picture that I like has a combination of very colorful tones to contrast different regions or parts of the poster. To me, I like styles like this because it tends to convey many different stories/aspects/messages even if the number of items is limited. It shows very positive and good vibes to draw people's attention.

2. I have chosen this design because it is a very good marketing strategy to advertise a brand whilst keeping the design very interesting. It uses the features and uses of the items to represent the brand in a very creative manner. The best thing about this concept is that the design must not always be complex, and even very simple yet minimalistic designs can draw people's attention.

3. I left my most favorite design as the very last poster because this is the kind of design that brings so much style and elements of details into it. as seen from the poster above, all the messages/titles/typography/visuals are about the moon and the moon only! However, so much information or technical designs can be shown and take up so much space on the design board. With all those small details and elements, this type of design can be used in many other items or objects to further give more description about it without disrupting the overall aesthetic.

Task 1(Week 1 Tutorial):

    In the tutorial or task required to be done in the first week. The materials from magazines, newspapers and printed materials were needed to be prepared and cut. Then, the full collage composition will be done in the following week. However, I gave myself a small headstart by also playing around and placing the materials/elements around to find out the best design composition. As shown in Figure 5.1, a few drafts were made and the final design was chosen and entitled 'Race Against Time'. Further explanations and descriptions of this design will be done in the following week.
