Lecture 6 Activity September 23, 2009

It’s already the recess week! Just had 2 papers in the past week. Another 2 coming up after this break =X. Pardon me if I’m slow in uploading the design and stuff =P

Ok, for lecture 6, we learnt about the visual principles. Can only say that it’s very complicated and abstract! Or maybe I’m not creative enough. Haha!

For this lecture’s activity, we have to use basic visual elements, which are the dots and lines, to convey the meaning of one word. So, let’s see if you can guess the word!

Answer below!

The word is MASSIVE! Hopefully you guys got it, because that would mean me and my other group member had succeeded! =)

Lecture 4 Activity September 8, 2009

Oh my, time passed so fast! It’s already the 5th week. Last week, we learnt about the various representational techniques. And we had to come out with an iconic and indexical sign of an object. For those who don’t understand, here’s the explanation:

–Iconic sign: An icon is a type of sign in which the signifier (e.g. logo) resembles/imitates the signified (meaning) in some way. Iconic signs recognisably look, sound, or feel like the thing that they refer to. E.g. photographs are icons

–Indexical sign: An indexical sign is one in which the signifier and the signified are directly connected in some way. This link may be causal and may be observed. E.g. smoke is indexical of fire.

So here’s mine

Iconic sign: Traffic light

Indexical sign: The colours that represented the traffic light
