Assignment 1

Had some fun brainstorming ideas for Assignment 1 but the "designer complacency" (a syndrome where one gets obsessed with one's designs and refuse to heed the words of others) came in and I had quite a hard time trying to scrap my initial ideas to work on new ones.

HATE
First Drafts


First drafts for "hate" was totally out of point. Only realised that it was out of draft during tutorial classes. The words are supposed to be part of the picture and not separated.
So I went back and did a few new ideas,



The last idea received the most positive comments. Most people could see my name and the hatred towards tomatoes.

Coloured the last idea and presented it in class. Comments are as below
Comments:
- Tomatoes look like strawberries?!
- Can see the "hatred" towards tomatoes as portrayed by the hammer hitting the tomatoes
- Letter "N" can be further improved on
- Name (Leen) can be seen clearly

LOVE
Love was a easier task. Luckily my drafts did not go out of point.

Comments:
- Can add more creativity to the small "e"s
- Name can be seen clearly except for the letter "E". Looks like "B"
Other comments are welcomed!!

A touch of realism in your artwork could potentially zest up its overall appeal? It is cartoonish as it stands.
