Principles of Design
It was the first class for this particular course and Ms. Lisa give us briefings about what are we going to do in this course basically. For our first activity, we were told to do a mind map about ourselves and a self-portrait using only natural stuff, for example leaves, twigs, flowers, newspaper, etc. We were given two and a half hours to complete this task on an A3 paper. We need to present our work in front later on.
The picture above is a mind map that I’ve done that day. I’d try my best to make it representing my personalities and style. There’s actually more than that but I try to write what represent me the most. I like to keep it simple and neat.
During the presentation session, I was the second person to present as Ms. Lisa decided to start from the bottom of the list to the top. I have to explain what I wrote in my mind map and show them my self-portrait. As I finished, Ms. Lisa asked me “Why do you want to become a designer?” And I said “First of all, I love designing and when I see people use my stuff, I feel very proud and happy” I don’t know whether my answer is good or not but I try my best to be as honest as I can. Who doesn’t become happy when people actually use the stuff we made or design it? When that happens, I can’t help it but wanted to design more stuff in the future. It’s kind of like a motivation for me. Ms. Lisa also asked me “What shapes do you like?” and I said “Circle” She also asked “What stuff do you like to design?” and I tell her “Things like furniture, clothes and etc.” and with that, I've ended my presentation. I was quite nervous but I have to get used to it sooner or later because we going to do a lot of presentation later on throughout the semester. I hope I can overcome that in the future.
