Final Outcome : 

Final Poster


Cybernetic Me

Artist Statement : 

I have makes my self-portrait with cybernetic element and makes me looks likes mix of robot and human. This artwork has shows one of the possibilities for the future of human. I chose to make my poster in a cyberpunk style because although robots have helped us a lot in this era, cyberpunk is still a relatively advanced style, and some people will not be able to accept this style. Therefore, I think its fits well with what I want to express. No matter whether what you like is incomprehensible or too advanced for others, just be yourself.

Reflections

*Experience
          During this 14 weeks, I initially viewed it as a realm limited to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Beyond the vormator, I also learned chiaroscuro and how to take create animation. Besides that I also learned different type of story telling by using different transitions. I also got into the way to animate the illustration and how to attract audience focus on what I want they focus and sending the message to audience through my artwork. Not only that, I also learned how to combine all the different element and skills I learned from different subject in this semester.

*Observation
            I was surprised how much depth there is to Illustration. It is not just about drawing, there is a lot to know about the composition and principle of illustration, the type of transitions and the most important is the creativity when we restricted by certain conditions. 

*Findings
            This 14 weeks turned me from someone who draws randomly into someone who draws by following the principle and its makes my artworks looks better then before. I found although the creativity is very important but there is also a lot of little things that we need to pay attention on it to makes our works more perfect, more satisfied. After I pass through this 14 weeks, I knew that when we try to create a illustration or story or when we try to sending some message to audience, the details is very important. We need to figure the composition of illustrations, the content of illustration, the transitions and a lot of things. As conclusion, I found that I still got a lot of things about illustrations I need to learn.
