Anatomy and Human Sculpture 23.04.2025 - 04.06.2025 Jolin Ceria (0363784) Anatomy and Human Sculpture Bachelor of Design (Honors) in Creative Media Character design ζ‘δΈŠζ„›ε”„ (Murakami Aika)  Character backstory (Holy yap)   Design notes:  => I tried to make her look more youthful considering she's supposed to be around 16-17 years old, but also took away the light from her eyes to reflect her unstable mental state. => She wears a dark red raincoat to protect her clothes from blood splatters. The dark red color of the coat also helps to conceal it .   => She does not usually dress like this! She usually wears less revealing clothing and has neater hair. She's wearing a revealing outfit here to, again, prevent blood splatters   and so she's less likely to get recognized. Lots of people get caught committing crimes by wearing stuff they were wearing during the crime after all... Project 1 - Character Blockout Notes about sculpting:  => No eyeballs ye...

I'm doing it again and it's equally as painful as it was last time => Decided to make the one in the second image simpler Ex 3 - Muscles Notes:  => To be honest I didn't draw two separate muscular system for the masculine and feminine bodies, I just duplicated and tweaked them => I should've focused on leg muscles too instead of just the arms...  Ex 4 - Head studies Notes:  => I used Bonehilda from the Sims  (Specifically Sims 3) as a reference for the skull images because she was the first anatomica...

Design Principles Task 1 - Exploration 17.03.2025 - 19.03.2025 Week 7 Jolin Ceria (0363784) Design Principles GCD60804 Bachelor of Design (Honors) in Creative Media Table of Contents Instructions Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 PDF compilation Reflection Instructions Task 1  (Link here) Fig 1.1  Departure of the Winged Ship Information Title: Departure of the Winged Ship Year: 2000 Artist: Vladimir Kush Size: 80” x 100” Medium: Oil on Canvas Online Source:  Here Principles  The first element I noticed being used in this painting is the  emphasis  principle, specifically in size and use of values, as the butterflies are scaled to a much larger size to grab a viewer's attention and so the butterfly wings would work better as a substitute for normal sails, and the humanoid figures and the rocks nearing the foreground being painted black to create depth using shadows. Besides that, I also noticed that the ship itself and the butterflies are painted with predomi...

Design Principles Task 2 - Visual Analysis 21.02.2025 - 07.03.2025  Week 3 - Week 5 Jolin Ceria (0363784) Bachelor of Design (Honors) in Creative Media Table of Contents Lecture Notes Instructions Task Visual Analysis Sketches Feedback Reflection Lecture Notes Visual Analysis is a method of understanding design that focuses on the visual elements and principles. Part of it's process involves describing and explaining a visual structure and recognize how a designer chooses to communicate their ideas and implement things in their design. It's an important part of developing one's visual literacy, as it trains your ability to read and critically interpret images. There are three main steps in visual analysis: To observe  by closely looking and identifying the visual elements in a design and describing them in your own words, preferably without prior information about the design beforehand. Observing a design without prior information will help you look, think, and find goo...
