RESPONSIVE : NISE15'

Why do I choose this brief ?
Because I was the designer for the event which run by Leeds University Malaysian Society.

What do I want to get out of it ?
I want to use different fonts on a certificate but still legible and attractive.

What do I need to produce in respond to it ?

• Three type of certificates but only with one design, 
• to include : Event Coordinator of Leeds University and her name- so she can sign the certificates , Director of NISE 2015 and her name - so she can sign the certificates, President Lumsoc and his name - so he can sign the certificates
• Leeds University, Leeds University Malaysian Society and NISE logos.

What do you want to produce in respond to it ?
Certificates that contain all the information needed.

We ( me and the NISE event manager) communicated most using Facebook because it was a last minute task. We only met once just to pass the design. I asked her if the design is okay, then she said yes. However on the next day, she told me to add and fix the details. That was quite difficult and I fixed the certificates in rush as I had a COP session at the same time. Working with people really testing my patience and my communication skill. After I fixed the certificates, I emailed her and thank god she was happy about it.

RESPONSIVE : English Support For International Students.

I have a one to one English class with Sheilah from Leeds College of Art. She asked me to design a poster to promote her English class. The target audience is international students from Leeds College of Art. She wanted the poster to be landscape but I advised her to do portrait as I still remember that  my tutor from Extended Diploma in Graphic Design told me that good posters is portrait and 99% posters in the world are portrait and Sheilah agreed.

Above is the poster that I submitted. I like negative space on the poster, it makes the audience look at the information straight away.

Above images shows my poster displayed around college

Study Task One

My two favourite illustrator among these five illustrators are Elise Gravel and Rebecca Eliott ( but I also like Kristyna Baczynski tho !) I like :-
