WEEK 6 : TUTORIAL - PHOTOGRAPHY BASIC

Before I begin with my work, I watch the videos provided by my lecturer about photography technique and method.

WEEK 6 : PRACTICAL - RESEARCH ABOUT YOUR TOPIC

We are asked to do some research and choose a team to make a digital poster in photoshop. Since I choose genesis (related to future world) I came out with 3 vibes of mood board. This assignment is also a entry for the honor 2025 competition.

Mood board 1 - Cyberpunk

    

Mood board 2 - Solarpunk

      

Mood board 2 - Futuristic

      

Details of my poster

Theme : Genesis

Category : Magical Lock Screen

Summary of your design concept: I’m planning to create a futuristic vibes by combining human with technology, maybe half human half robot (cyborg). In future, human might have a second chance to live again with the assist of high developed technology.

FEEDBACK

I consulted with my lecturer Mr. Fauzi on this task, and he said I'm in the right track and the theme I choose align well with 3 of my mood boards. For him, he prefer me doing things like the first mood board (cyberpunk) or the third one (futuristic). At the end, I decided to choose to go with the futuristic vibe. 

REFLECTION

Experience - I finally understood how a theme like genesis could be expressed with different vibes. At first I thought genesis is like something so futuristic like white robotic environment, but after some research on this theme, I found out futuristic, cyberpunk, solarpunk, and others like sci-fi can also be considered as Genesis theme too.

Observation - I realized that each mood board might go to the same theme but the vibes of each mood board brings different emotions and tones. Like cyberpunk is more of chaotic busy city with colorful visual, while Solarpunk focuses on the combination of nature and technology, the greenish color give a calm visual. And Lastly futuristic which is dominated with white color can sometimes make the visual look cold, developed, and a bit lonely. 

 

Findings - I found out that each vibes brings different story, feels, and mood. It all depends on your story and what you want to create.
