Philosophy statement
Design is creating something new that may change our impression, lives, and even what we think. I believe with good design, it can change our daily lives. With good design, it takes the audience to look into every single detail of it. With good design, it takes my breath away. Although some people think inspiration comes from nature, I believe everything that is around us can be great sources of inspiration. What you look at, what you hear people say can all be something that just clicks. Being a designer for Interior Design has always been what I wanted to do. I love looking at residential home designs and think about what I would do to make it more comfortable.

This is a poster design project that enable us to gain skills to generate the ability to connect the thoughts of the design, to develop the general sense of putting the inspired images into use and create a final textile project. The project starts with finding the inspired images, Photoshop edit these original images into a creative style. Joining all these images into a beautiful pattern with the help of designing and sketching several thumbnails as one of an important processes. Having the 2D pattern image plotted helps to generate the final textile, which is inspired by one of most unique symbolism - the elephant. Elephant is used as one of the central theme in the textile with other unique Indian features, such as the Indian carpet, which is the border of the textile, as well as the border of the central image. There are a number of key processes involved, starting with the inspired images. These inspired images include the Indian carpet, dagger, paintings, and decorative arts. Several thumbnail sketches are done to generate the best pattern that can best represent the art of India.

This is a learning experience, we start by writing out the resume first. Then InDesign program is used to come up with a more creative outline for the resume, by addition graphic images, logo, and other interesting patterns to catch reader's attention. This work enable us to think about the over view of the resume, how it appears to the reader, do people feel comfortable reading it, are all the contexts readable and clearly represented. Making sure all these factors are taken into consideration in order to create a well represented resume.Making sure the text content is consistent, not jumping around randomly, this will create professional outlook of the resume, and this will also represent how organized a person is. This is the first time I used InDesgin to write a resume, it definitely give a better representation, and make it easier to track information. I have to make the text wrap round the logo, and lay on top of the background image. The background image has to be transparent in order for the text to be readable, it is important that text can be clearly identified from the image.

Logo
This is a personal logo created from my initials. This assignment helped us to work through all the processes of creating a logo using a digital tablet as the tool. This is the first time I had used this tool, it was an interesting experience that allowed me to gain some new knowledge about both the digital tools and the digital program. We used illustrator to create the logo and it is definitely a useful tool for making a creative design. And a design can be made in an exact way you wanted it can be like. Both the color and gray-scale images are presented in a way to compare how different the logo appear like under different colors, and make sure there is contract of colors.This allow the logo to be able to fit into any work and does not matter what color it is printed as. Using similar colors in a single design is never a good idea.
