Illustration and Visual Narrative _ Project 1
PROJECT 1_
Week 01
Today is the first class, its also the first time I use Adobe Illustrator so I was looking forward to this class. We get straight into the class and start our exercise, Mr Hafiz showed us how to use the pen tool to trace out the shapes given to create our vormator. We can't distort the shapes while creating out vormator. The following are the shapes we can use by tracing them.
This is what I came up with, I used every shape except for the Cobra.
Week 05
We went to Fab Space KL for today's class. Prior to this class, I finished finalising my vormator. I went through different color combinations and chose the one I liked the most and added the shading to it.

| Original colour |
 |
| 1st experiment |
 |
| 2nd experiment |
 |
| 3rd experiment |
 |
| 4th experiment |
I really liked how the 3rd and 4th experiment turned out and ended up choosing the 4th experiment's colours as the final.

So moving onto Fab Space, we were demonstrated how to prepare the file for laser cutting, engraving and UV printing.
 |
| Mr Redzwan and Mr Hafiz. |
 |
| took a look around the space. |
My vormator was chosen for demonstration. So I recorded a video as she shows us to prepare the file since I was stood quite behind and can't see much, I'm going to refer back to the video to prepare my file again for laser cut in the future.

It was very interesting to watch since this is the first time I see these process in real life. She let me keep the pieces which is very nice of her, so I'm pretty happy about that. Although I will not be using any of these since they have problems with it so I will make adjustments and laser cut it again in the future. She also mentioned that the UV printer uses CYMK instead of RGB unlike the laser cutter used RGB. So that's why the if we used grey for printing, it might appear more green. Then I confronted her on how to solve that and I noted it down on my phone.

| how to change the colours so the grey is a proper grey |
I tried to use layering with the orange part laser cut with wood and the other with printed acrylic.
But I can see that it doesn't really line up and didn't really make a difference.
So i think the best outcome was the wood laser cut and printed version.
This is what I came up with, I used every shape except for the Cobra.
