Mood Board -ass5(b).artdeco.
So I was all done with making mood boards.....or so I thought..
BAM!
Assignment 5 part B!
Yeah, didn't see that coming..But I absolutely love Mrs.Lisa's ideas though. Playing our client this time, SHE was the one individually assigning projects for each of us to design on a mood board. Nervous yet excited, I quickly went on a search to find out what I'd be designing..

| Le List |
Yes, my face was quite similar to the image that I've roughly drawn above. :O, followed by, :), CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Even though I didn't know the first thing about Art Deco, or kitchens for that matter (how embarrassing, heh).
---------after much researching---------
~Art Deco~

| Kitchen&Dining Room |
A little touch of modern with a 1920's feel.
Matching apron, details here and there, funky utensils and your classic cobalt blue picture plates.

Mood Board -ass5.
Another exciting assignment :)
So we have to create a mood board based on whatever we want from designs in fashion, interior, graphics..... Okay, so I had no idea what on earth a mood board is. Luckily, this is when watching 'Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane' unexpectedly comes to good use :D .
Kimora Lee Simmons is an American fashion model and was the president and creative director for Phat Fashion (hotstuff, check em out) so in her show, the fashion designers are always creating these mood boards which are basically a collage of images, texts and samples which develop their design concepts and help communicate with other designers and clients.
Here are some different types of mood boards..

Although I'm more into graphics, I decided to change it up a little and create an interior based mood board design. At first I was leaning more towards wedding themes but then thankfully decided to design a candy shop! Now that's more like me than a wedding c:

My Monogram -ass4.finalprint
Got all excited for stencil making class, then fell terribly sick that very morning :/
.................Didn't stop me from making my stencil though!
Got Blackmill playin on loud cz his musics so chill man you gotta love him.
---------- few hours later ---------
So apparently its A LOT more complicated than it looks..my first couple tries was quite a fail, but I tried covering up the mistakes with a milk-like design *facepalm*. Well heres my picture frame..

| Progress |
 |
| Picture Frame -Mylilsister |

| Milk-like design |
I tried experimenting with different media's from nail polish to poster paint to plain glitter. Basically got very messy up my room :P
Think I'm starting to get the hang it now thought..slowly slowly..

| Ma logo yo |
My Monogram -ass4.attempt1.
After having a lecture about what makes a good monogram/logo and discussing the designs of some famous logos and absolutely genius monograms...it was our turn!
We were given around 30 minutes to come up with at least 10 different monograms for our names.
I'd say I got it a little easier because of all the A's and M's in my full name..
: Amal Abdulla Mohamed Al-Montser :
My first 10 monogram attempts :
As you can see, Ms.Lisa ticked the what she thought would be the best 2monograms to expand.
Sooooo after expanding thoooose, I came up with these bunch:
And again, as I've circled out to make more visible, Ms.Lisa picked the best 2monograms to expand and enlarge (because in reality these monograms are extremely tiny on my paper). But just as I was enlarging monogram#1 we decided that it was the one!
After a few tiny adjustments, I got an APPROVED stamp from my lecturer and got straight to work on my first sample stencil print from cutting tracing paper..
Voila.
It almost looks like a flower in a way doesn't it? Or a paper plane....hmmm cant wait to get even more creative in our next weeks official stencil making class!

Movie Poster -ass.3
Our first group assignment for the semester where Stereotypes were born!
Kanchan, Marissa, Zaidane and Amal!
As we huddle up to plan our next up coming movie. Our brilliant ideas flow endlessly yet we finally managed to decide on a genre.....
Horror/comedy.
Ooooo
We noticed that zombies have experienced a resurgence in popularity in the early 21st century, a 'return from the dead' you can say.
Here are some of the movie posters that we've looked into and were inspired by:
Expanding your square -ass.2.update.
Expanding the square some more..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to present my square in front of the class:/
Anyway, heres my progress..Trying my best to keep
the design balanced and somewhat simple.

Expanding your Square -ass.2
So what is Notan?
It's a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark next to each other in art and imagery. The use of negative and positive space transforms shapes and structures into flat shapes on a 2 dimensional surface. These are a few of my favourites :
My Expanded square.
 |
| 10"10 |
My design is based on Islamic architecture which is very geometrical, yet I added some organic elements to give it a feminine touch.
I must say this assignment was very time consuming and quite challenging as you need to get all the exact measurements so your design wont look distorted, especially since my design is symmetrical.
I chose a crescent moon as my dominate figure, an Islamic symbol, to match my whole theme. As well as hidden Arabic calligraphy on the sides of the square which reads 'god'.
Notice how the mirror effect on the bottom 2 shapes create 2 symmetrical flowers when you tilt your head either way.
I know I could've chosen a coloured paper for this exercise, but I just love the contrast portraying elements of yin and yang.
And voila!
Enjoy!
Self Portrait -ass.1
Fingerprints are an impression used for identifying individuals because each one of us has our own unique patterns of whirls and lines that no one else in the world possess. So, I thought what better way to paint a self portrait than by using my very own fingerprints for a one of a kind outcome;)
I am surreal with a little mixture of abstract. Some might call me psycho, although I prefer the term genius.
I tend to hide a lot of my emotions..so I split my face into two, portraying my Gemini traits. Feeling blue on one side, yet bright red and pink on the other.
I like to dream, having my head in space, thus I left both eyes closed with the blackness of space on my mind.
I used my favourite colours, 'cotton candy' colours, to paint an abstract flower just below my face. A flower that symbolizes femininity, purity, innocence.
Purposely, I left lots of white area around my portrait because I have yet to learn more about myself, therefore I'm incomplete.
.Your Stoner from heaven.
-peace-
