Never Underestimate Dots
Wilson posted at 11:31 PM


If you think that dots are insignificant, think again. In MSN and SMSes, '...' is always used, but putting these dots in design, it opens up a totally new world.

The focus of today's principle of design lesson is precisely dots. Basically I spent 1hr learning about dots and 2hr drawing dots. Not at all exaggerated because there's actually a lot to learn about dots, and we are supposed to show concepts such as order, radiance, attention, merely using dots. That's when I realise we should never underestimate dots. Actually I was feeling quite stressed while coming up with the drafts since the last time I did something similar was sec 2 and even then I was failing art all the way. True enough 7 years down the road, I still can't draw and come out with nice designs while the two sitting beside me was like drawing stuffs which I can't imagine myself to think of it. Eventually after some advices from the lecturer and some modifications, managed to get 4 drafts to be approved for the project. So now I got one week to expand my draft to submit next week, better start early or confirm will get stressed closer to next Thursday.

It's only the second week and so stressed le, and actually I felt that this course is more stressed than SMU. But I'm sure I can persevere till the end but just got to work harder and practice at home, especially while now is still the hols. Anyway, after 3hrs of dots when I walk out of the room, everything look like dots arrangement to me. Street lights, vehicle headlights and other random pattern looks like dots moving around to me, and I was quite traumatized.

GST credits came in handy but too small an amount to be significant. Can't even pay a fifth of my new bow, so I decided to spend it on more meaningful stuff.

Materials are expensive =(
