TASK

-Week 1

Mr.Fauzi asked us list down 3 favourite graphic design + photography work from Pinterest and explain why you like the designs.

Design 1

Description: 

     This photograph features a little girl and a bubble.I find it very intriguing and memorable because through the clever placement of the bubble in the foreground and the girl in the background, it creates the visual effect of the girl being inside the bubble. The girl's facial expression isn't a smile, but she’s dressed in bright, playful colors, and the colorful bubble in front of her adds a layer of thoughtfulness. 

Design 2

Description: 

  This graphic design gives me a visually stunning effect.Using Van Gogh's various self-portraits and their different colors, they are skillfully pieced together to form a large single portrait of Van Gogh. The expressionist pioneer Vincent van Gogh lived for 37 years, during which he created a total of 40 self-portraits. This series uses the technique of montage to collage all of van Gogh's self-portraits into one, capturing his life as a burning soul and his brilliant artistic career.
