Valerie-Creations

Thought of using color pencils as a theme for my portfolio so I came up with this idea of a painting of color pencils with colors dripping down.

Firstly, I decided to use one color pencil for one assignment and they are of different colors. In other words, different color pencil was used to represent different assignments. The reason for me to do a colorful portfolio is that colors is a representation of me and my life as I'm always constantly facing ups and downs. Therefore, colors can be used to portray them, for instance, someday u might be down(blue), other days you might be happy(yellow) or you might even be angry(red), etc...

Well, here's the portfolio I did! Enjoy~

My postcard after amendment!

First of all, I added the name of music festival so that it look more music festival related. Then, I cut down on the words and also change the font of the text to make them stand out more. On top of that, I also edited my color scheme and try playing around colors for guitar and drum.

I created an imaginary musical festival called Groove Live Music Fest 2009.
This festival mainly have live music of various genre like Rock, Classic,
Jazz, etc. Live music consists of live bands hence, I thought of using guitar
and drums in my postcard design.

I chose Sensual Jazz color scheme because it is the best among all and it
gives a nice sensual mood to it. Furthermore, the graphics stands out
more with the dark background color to give a nice contrast.

After refinement version of my poster!

Basically, I am reshuffling all the objects in my poster to make it more coherent. First of all, I centralized the text "Be Active" to make it look more balanced. Next, I moved the text "Enjoy Golden Age. Prevent Isolation Among Aging Community. Age with Dignity." to beneath the title to make it a sub-title. Then, I added a black background for my copy to achieve a more contrasting view. Lastly, I removed the NUS logo and added in more logos to the poster to complete my poster.

Here's the finalised version after amendments

I added in an abstract version of the bird for the forth abstraction.

Again, I chose the 3rd abstraction for pictogram:

The bird viewing area loses its identity at the 4th level. Hence, I decided to use the 3rd level as the pictogram for the bird viewing area.

This pictogram can be placed in maps to let people notice the existence of this place. Furthermore, it can also be used for sign board so as to guide people who are unfamiliar to the bird viewing area.

After many rounds of refinement, this is the finalised one~

First of all, I added in a background to make the whole illustration look complete. Next, I redrew the musical notes in Adobe Illustrator to make it look better. Also, I shorten the wire of the speaker for the letter 'L' and enlarge the letter 'V' to make the whole image more balance. Lastly, 'I am Val and I love MUSIC' becomes 'Val loves MUSIC'. And here's my final version of 'Val Loves MUSIC'!

I used the initials of my name, which is Val because my full name, Valerie, is rather long. In order to show that I love music for this concept, I used simple stickman doing various music-related actions like playing guitar and singing to form the initials of my name.

For 'Valerie Hates DIRT', I redrew everything in Adobe Illustrator again! The reason is because I used live trace previously therefore manipulation is tough! So I decide to redraw everything in Illustrator..

This concept show that I really hate dirt by having a hand trying to clean away the dirt particles on my beautiful wall. The dirt particles on the wall form the initials of my name, ‘VAL’ and the cloth on the right form the other part of my name ‘erie’. Hence, ‘Valerie hates dirt’.

Personally, I love my Dirt concept a lot! Hehehe.. (:
