PRACTICAL

1. Write a biography about yourself

INTRO	My name is Felice, I was born and raised in Indonesia. I am an outgoing person who loves to imagine and long for freedom. Studying here in Malaysia is one of the thing i did out of my comfort zone.This was the first semester of my degree and many ups and downs I’ve been through. Without realizing one semester almost end.
PARAGRAPH 1	What is your passion? I love randomness, i am not typical who always plan everything beforehand, i am more to flexible. I love sitting outdoor, enjoying the view, while listening to the music and often imagine things in my head. I love to design because I could bring out my imagination and turn it into reality.
PARAGRAPH 2	What’s motivate you to achieve your dream? My parents is my number 1 support system. I wish to give back what they have given me or even more, by that I desire to always do my best, work hard now to achieve my dream, I’ve always have in mind ‘do your best and let God do the rest”.
SUMMARY	How do you want to visualize your dream into an artwork? Using dreamy and random styled poster, which I’ve always wanted to do.

2. Write a statement about your work

INTRO	Tell us about your work? I would like to do a dreamy style poster with surrealism in it.
PARAGRAPH 1	What is the concept behind it? I love sky related theme, clouds, fairytale, so I put all my interest and would like to come up with something surrealistic and random. I would like to bring my imagination surrealism theme into reality through this design. I want to bring out what is my thought now. I’ve always wanted to make a surrealism poster filled with dreamy, cloudy theme. So here i am to execute it.
PARAGRAPH 2	What is the message you want people to understand it? I would like to portray that randomness, freestyle, is a beauty of art, you just need to be yourself. Dream high, fly high, time will always goes by.
SUMMARY	I would like to visualize that everyone has our own way to make and live on your own our dream. Time keeps ticking, all you have to do is go on.

4. Sketches
I proceed to sketch my idea. This is the rough sketch, I would like to show variety of styles in one poster. After checking my sketch, Mr.Fauzi said it was good and I can proceed to the next step which is digitise.

I cut and paste the pictures into one frame. This was the initial idea based on my sketch, however, I didn't like it. So I try tried to edit the background into 2 sides. I use clipping mask and double exposure method for this.

fig 1.5 Progress #1

I feel the falling star doesn't look really good there so i change it with solar system. I start with drawing elipse and add outer glow effect. Next I erase the part of the moon with clipping mask, and add more clouds. I also blend my dress with the cloud using clipping mask and brush.
