As the assignment was very vague, I decided to come up with something unconventional, a makeshift portfolio of what inspires me and what I've done in the form of a zine, in which each page was designed in a collage format. The zine consisted of 11 pages.
I wanted the zine to reflect me as a designer, with the content being an embodiment of my artistic vision. I felt that a drawing of my face wouldn't really tell others about myself, so I decided to take the risk to do something different. I did put a picture of my face in it, to make it less abstract.
The artistic process was a bit scary for me because I was afraid that my lecturer wouldn't like it, or that I wouldn't be able to design and print 11 pages in time, but thankfully, all went well, (or at least I think it did!)

More below: The inspirations.
And last but not least, my interpretation of what inspires me, in the form of some old, mostly self initiated projects which I did during high school (when I should have been studying. However, I have no regrets!)
Sorry for the 'artsy' shots with all the weird angles and blurriness, I just want to photograph it with a 'personal touch' feel to it (excuses, ha!)
I hope from this class, I will improve as an artist and a designer, and sharpen my fundamental skills along the way, pushing myself to reach my maximum potential while stepping out of the comfort zone and coming up with out-of-the-box ideas.
(Heehee, hopefully some of Miss Lisa's genius will rub off on me! She's really a figure I look up to. Totally not sucking up here)
