Progress and Idea Exploration

Fig 4.1 Myself

Right before i start to do my self-potrait design i make this list to remind me of myself. my first idea was to make an toy box and i put some of my information in the box details.
Fig 4.2 Indomie

I try to think what is the most iconic things of Indonesia. I know there are some like wayang, batik, bali, etc. But, i think Indomie is the most iconic thing in Indonesia and at least it funny.

Fig 4.3 Attempt 1

This is my first attempt and i show this to Ms. Pouline. She said it's interesting and she gave me a couple advice. She recommends me to make a smaller design because this very long and add the plastic texture to this design. And i'm like okay, i just gotta make somekind like a parody of indomie package

Feedback

Week 8
I show my work to Ms. Pouline on feedback session. She said my work is okay and she gave me a couple of suggestion to improve my design. She said the first design it;s too long so, its better that make it more small and add some texture to it.


Reflection

I quite enjoy this project. I feel I get a chance to know myself better and I think it's important for me because, I never try to know myself better. I really dig out who am I, what is my background, what kind a person I am, etc.
