LECTURE: Introduction To Composition
FOCAL POINT is one of my favourite compositional techniques, which can highlight the main subject in a clear and concise way and make the picture more streamlined and good-looking, which is often designed with the main subject extending outwards, so that the reader's attention can be more focused on the main subject.
Golden Ratio is a concept I've heard about for a long time and have always had to deal with it in both photographic design and painting compositions, the Golden Ratio is a mathematical ratio though. The Golden Ratio is a mathematical ratio, but it is often found in nature, and when used in design, it promotes organic and natural compositions.
Golden Ratio is to set your dimensions to 1:1.618, this division is naturally more difficult to manage compared to other compositional methods, but once you can use it well, even if the picture has a rather cumbersome and chaotic elements can also constitute a pleasing rhythm and direction, so that people look at the past is orderly, and will not be Lose the theme.

Description:
I really like the color used in this image and the way it highlights the subject. A single color matching the overall black, white and gray picture will make the theme of the poster clear, and also make the picture more unified and tidy.

Description:
This picture has a very strong color contrast and impact. Although the volume of the subject is not very large in the whole picture, the simple black, strong contrast yellow and gray make the subject very mysterious and vivid.

Description:
The content contained in this picture is not as simple and simple as the first two, on the contrary, this poster uses quite complex characters and backgrounds, but the relatively uniform color will not make the picture appear chaotic. The poster uses black to show the white space, which makes the characters have an overall trend. The addition of blue makes the picture no longer monotonous, but it is not too obtrusive.
Reflections:
In this class I learned to appreciate and analyse the design concepts of other people's work, to find my own preferred style by looking at the beautiful works of other authors, and to be able to classify and visualise my own aesthetics and preferences more carefully. It also helped me to be more comfortable in my subsequent creative process.
The Show Graduate Showcase
In the activity ‘the show’, we participated in the competition as the fourth group, the theme of the competition is to draw an A1-sized painting with the theme of unity in diversity, before the official competition began we were very nervous and close to the arrangement of the discussion about ‘unity in diversity’. Before the start of the competition, we were all very nervous and closely lined up to discuss our understanding of the term ‘multifaceted’ and its derivation, as well as how to present it on the canvas. Our final design consisted of four differently coloured hands reaching out to the centre of the picture, supplemented by a number of faces extending outwards from the crosshairs. The background is enriched with different cultural decorations such as Chinese lion dance, Indian curry, Malay Twin Towers and so on.
Reflection:
In this activity, we had a clear division of labour, after a short exchange of ideas we quickly decided how to divide the work amongst ourselves, I was responsible for drawing the line drawings of the cultural elements in the background, which was not particularly difficult for me, on the contrary, I preferred drawing line drawings to colouring. The conditions were a bit harsh, we didn't have formal benches and chairs, we put the paintings on boards, put the boards on side-by-side chairs, and all of us crawled and crouched on the chairs in various positions or knelt on the floor to complete the paintings that we had put our hearts and souls into. Some of our knees were so red that they almost bled, but we all devoted ourselves to the production of this painting, and after two hours of high concentration, we almost forgot about the discomfort and hunger, and I also felt a strong team cohesion, we all worked hard for the same goal, which is a very rare feeling. From that moment on, the final result of the race was no longer the biggest reward for me, and I enjoyed the process of working together with all of you. This event was a very memorable experience.
