Project 2. Kim Chan Hee 0334532 For our project 2 we were to choose a place and express this place using any mediums only from the photos that are taken by us , where I decided to use photoshop for it and chose a place called 'purple cane', which is a tea house located near Pasar seni mrt station. The reason I chose this place is because I really like this place and felt like my own Azit where it is not really crowded and sometimes I am the only one who comes here, where it is really quiet and peaceful with many trees and the kind of traditional interior soothes my mind and help me to think of more ideas and inspirations for my assignments. Above are the photos I took to use for the assignments and edit.              These are my process for the final work using photoshop, where I cut out each of the items using brush tool. This is my final work for the project two where I want to make it look harmonious with cal...

Self Portrait assignment. For our assignment for self portrait,  I decided to do a surrealism as I like surrealism and wanted to Express myself with it. This is the photo I used as reference to draw my face. I sketch down my design using 2B pencil first lightly. Then again I used 0.1 pen to sketch following the lines I drew with pencil so that it will be more easier for me to color it clearly. This is my final outcome. For the self portrait I decided to use color pencils as I liked the texture and I wanted to use lots of pastel colors to Express me as I don't believe that only one color can Express a person. Which I colored the face with it as face is one of the best way to Express emotions. Aslo the I drew a moon phase on my head because one of thing that symbolizes me is full moon because it was my nickname from childhood since my face is round like the moon. Also I drew two hands that are comforting me coming out from the hole in my heart, as I am ...

Kim Chan Hee (0334532) Typography Project 2 Font Design. Lecture notes. Week 7. 17 May 2019. We learned about Text/Tracking: Kerning and Letterspacing.

In traditional typesetting, there are two unpardonable gaffes, widows and orphans. A widow is a short line of the type left alone at the end of a column of text. An orphan...
