WEEK5-POSTER AND ANALYSIS AND POSTER GRID

Ram Koolhaas' poster with good layout and organized font size

The success point of this poster is attractive. The upside down portrait painting can catch viewers' attention easily. This poster is used to inform people about a presentation. Thus the layout and the typography are strong focused with different size. And the more important information was used darker color to express the importance.
The "OMA" letters are transparent to avoid the unmatched visual to the portrait painting. And the other "AMO" letters which in lighter color make "OMA" in symmetrical poster won't be so abrupt. Hence to create a visual illusion that both site have "O" and "A" in same color.
The reason why the upside-down portrait painting isn't make a donation of strange is that it's only show half face with eyes clearly and also in the same color scheme as texts. The other reason is that in the event of putting painting in the right way, the main part of human face- eyes will be hide after texts, therefore, the poster will be fail to others.
In conclusion, this poster creates strong  and pitched method.

WEEK4-reflection and poster draft

Ram Koolhaas' poster with good layout and organized font size

my poster grid draft
 reflection
In this process, I have improved my software skill such as 3ds max and indesign, sketchup... and got better understanding of Ram Koolhaas and his work that done those years, what impress me most is his principle - well known to be different, as one of world most influent people, he can ignore what people say to his work and control his out come, defense what he is doing. Thus, my creatures can be as strange as I could to express my idea. And creating creatures and modeling environment by 3ds max are interesting and addicted.
Each week, we got every connected task; the connections of those tasks are so strong that we can’t miss any of them. And as a student that needs to prove our own imagination and organize our creative ideas, which is the main purpose of this course, I was pleased about that there is no such a fixed requirement about our creating staff. And for the model that I have created, I decided to develop a new one from old two special characters to maintain those elements.
Finishing assignment is not only learning how creates and model, but also learning from each other in this course, if I only doing my work and never visit others’ blog, I won’t be improving. Like using Build AR, at first, I don’t have any idea to start. And the inspire video really change my thought about Build AR, it’s not only present but also play around depending on how skilled I am, I also changed my presenting model because of this reason, I want to make this presentation much more playful and clearly.
What I need to complete now is a final poster and model, and what I have learned from this process is complete every little task will be easy for us to reach the great goal!

WEEK4-6marker

this is my first marker, all of my ideas are from Ram Koolhaas, so I chosed first letter of his
name to be the first step.

it is like endless cycle and my model is about continuing work , from different view of my work,
 it will be like loops work again and again.

this aspect I use is to show details of my model, it's irregular shape and there is no front and back side as
one special character of my model.

another character of my model is interaction, even it is odd shape but they are very harmony and connect to each other but also can treat as independent model.

The model isn't only have shape as the first impression to others,
as what Ram Koolhaas insist is an architect should think outside of the box.

This is the shape of one of Ram Koolhaas's work- China CCTV headquarters, start knowing him and ends up with his work, this is what my first assignment about.
