New assignment is launched.
We have to create a new 2 Dimensional shapes that applied on the surfaces. For example, we can apply the 2 Dimensional shapes on the lamp, shirts or anything the functional object in our life.
The criteria of the assignment have to applied Gestalt Principle and using Black and White color only. Besides, we just can compose the artwork only from the natural object like feather, leaf, stone and many more.
After the group discussion, we decide to do lamp as our object. We design lamp as there have reason behind. Our lamp design have 4 surfaces.The surfaces will bring out the message and trying to express what we trying to say. The first 2 surfaces, we build up the night time and day time of the city to show the world is developing so fast and modern, the environment disasters by us and human. However, human is trying to save the environment nowadays. As a human, we are playing 2 roles, there are environment destroyer or protector. This can show human in every situation always hesitate and contradiction. Another 2 surfaces were showing the illusion of life. That means whenever what we see through our eyes, that not a real and even is fake. Once we see the object,is maybe that's just a illusion effect. Research for the lamp's design。。。 Night time of city
the night time of city is distinguish show that the development world is so fast and from the top view you can see the land is full of buildings and is hard to find a floral or forest in that way. The effect of night time city is just showing the beauty side of the scenery but if you look more carefully, darkness can cover ugly and truth story behind how the processes to build up city.
Effect of illusion
Illusion as I mentioned just now, no matter what we see in front of us, There is not a real.
you will feel suffering or even confusing. Human will contradiction when the situation is ambiguous and inconsistent. Never ever believe what you see.
Lamp surface design
poke hole in a black lamp shade to make this awesome effect!!
Here are the outcome for our this assignment.
Enjoy!!!
As you can see the effect of illusion of is shown at both sided. The black color is showing the night time of the city and at the same time another side is showing day time of city.
My batik mostly is based on nature theme. When it comes to batik,
the main element that I would think of is types of flora. This was the reason I
have used this theme. I was trying to imagine different types of local flowers;
which are hibiscus, rafflesia and ixora. In the end, I have decided to draw my
own style of flower. The four flowers that I have drawn were inspired from
lotus flower. It is known to be associated with purity, spiritual awakening and
faithfulness. Lotus flower is considered as clean and pure contrast to the
background of the dirty pond. However, the shape and colors of the flowers were
not exactly the same as any flowers in reality. I drew the flowers like how I
imagine with the combination also the flowers that I saw. Imagination can enhance
my creativity in design. “Artist can color the sky red because they know it’s
blue. Those of us who aren’t Artist must color things the way they are or
people might think we are stupid.” Designer should understand that we can play
around colors even though the original color of the object is not it. The
colors that I put to my flowers were violet and orange color. The reason is I
felt the peace and powerful when both color combined together. Based on my
research, the meaning of violet is using for imagination to its fullest and
also energize depression. Moreover, orange color means to increase the
creativity.
For
the twisted and curly roots of my flower represents that even in mud the roots can
grow up towards the bright sunshine of enlightenment. As human being, we need
to stay strong and keep the faith when we are having a difficult time. The
roots grow upwards is representing hope. These were the reason behind when I
drew this and it would be more meaningful and leaves a deeper impression to
viewer. I have applied the color yellow- brownish. Brown color shown even our
life is hard and full of risk, but we still can find another way to overcome
it. It’s mean ‘when God closes a door, He will always leave a window’. From the
phrase, no matter how hard we fight for in our life. It brings you to a better
life. Other than that, there are two fishes in red color. Fish symbolized
happiness and freedom. Happiness and freedom are being together. Red color can
show the fish more energy. I drew the fishes swam to the top as represent the
same as the curly roots which is stay strong in everything.
The
background color was dark in color. It contrasts with the object. In my
opinion, dark color represents the calmness. However, based on my research
black color represents mystery. Life is full of mystery. We cannot predict what
will happen in few second later as life is full of challenge.
Process of Batik
Step 1
The first wax is applied over the penciled-in outline of the pattern. Almost always the original cloth is white or beige.
Step 2
The cloth is dyed in the first dye bath. In this case the first dyebath is indigo blue. The area of the cloth where the wax was applied in Step 1 will remain white.
Step 3
Second application of wax is applied. In this case it is a dark brown color. A poorer quality of wax is used to cover larger areas of cloth. The darker color helps to differentiate it from the first wax applied. Any parts that are covered with this wax application will remain the indigo color.
Step 4
The cloth is dyed in the second dye bath. In this case it is a navy blue. Any areas that are not covered by wax will become dark blue.
Step 5
All the wax that has been applied thus far is removed. This is done by heating the wax and scraping it off and also by applying hot water and sponging off the remaining wax.
Step 6
Wax is applied to the area of the fabric that the artist wishes to remain the indigo blue color.
Step 7
Wax is applied to the area of the fabric that the artist wishes to remain white.
Step 8
The fabric is submerged in the final dye bath. In this case it is brown. Any areas of the cloth that have not been covered with wax will become brown.
Step 9
The finished cloth after all of the wax has been removed.

The first time I started to see James Bond's movie was the time Pierce Brosnan who acting.
The first film I watched is called 'Tomorrow Never die'. After watched I almost addicted and never ever forgot, 007 rocks, but he always has, with his girls, guns, gadgets and martinis, which could be shaken, stirred or both. Thus, every time the new film of James Bond release, i will never ever missed out because every action and the technique of shooting was too extreme and amazed. After a four year's gaps James Bond returned with Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006).
2006-2012 Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig who is currently filming for the upcoming "Bond 23" film Skyfall, which is slated for release in late 2012. Of course, is showing up in cinema now. So, i decide take this chance to watch it and this is the episode 23 of James Bond. By the way,on July 27th, 2012, Daniel appeared alongside the Queen in a short film titled Happy and Glorious , the film was the highlight of the Olympic opening ceremony. It was actually the Queen's first ever acting role, a joint celebration of 007's 50th anniversary in film, and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Written by JoaoBond
Go through the movies, there was many silhouette is applied in the movie and the effect outcomes were really fantastic and great!
We were ecstatic to discover that Skyfall, the twenty-third James Bond film due for release late this year contains Jellyfish Nightlights, stock footage produced by Bass Visuals. As this part of scene is strongly shown the silhouette is formed here. So, Jellyfish Nightlights on the big screen once again.
Another part of scene is the movies, SKYFALL opening credit.
Honestly, the opening part is really amazing and creative. The ideas is fabulous. From the opening, there have some kind of silhouette you can find out. Besides, half way of the opening, there have many dragons coming out from the scene, that is represent one part of the scene that James Bond go to Macau Casino.
The final scene when James bond and M in Scotland. James Bond had a fight scene. There were clearly shown the silhouette.
after watching the movies, i have ideas for my silhouette. I trying to do something that similar and familiar with this method.
Before starting my silhouette, I were doing research and how to present the outcome of silhouette is more better and impress to audience and peoples.
Those are the simple silhouette. The color is just only using one tone. Its look nice but there may not impress audience to read it because is bored and is not attractive at all.
Two of pictures that i found, Its consider as a silhouette as well because there were using the grey scale and applied on it. It look more vivid and more interesting to audience.
Here are the outcome for my silhouette assignment.
the story telling is about there was lonely man that always travelling with his helicopter. One day, he is passing by the jungle and forest. When he looks down from his helicopter, the scenery is gorgeous.
Unfortunately, the helicopter is out of control and is crashing with the trees . However, the man escapes from the catastrophe by his parachute. He is staying overnight in the jungle and set up the fire for getting warm.
As the night come closer, an object is brighten and glittering from the underbrush. The brightness of the object affects his eyes contact. So, the man curious about the object. He found out the object is a big box. He picks up a branches and try to open the box.
Finally, the box is opened. There are many vapors is coming out from the box. Soon, a beautiful lady with a long hair is appeared. The lady and the man is falling in love with each other. The lady was grateful that the man found her and rescue her because she was cursed and trapped in the box over 15 years. Once the man find the box and open it, the lady will free and they will live happily after these.
