final assignment

​

Monogram (Logo)

in this assignment, we need to create our own monogram by using words in our name and transfer our monogram into 5 item.

i USE 'v' and 'j' to create my monogram.

'V' stand for my english name which is 'v'illson.

'j' stand for my chinese name which is 'j'ie shien.

​

in this assignment, i finally can explore something without any rules. our lecturer just told us that we need to transfer our monogram into 5 item, so it mean it can be something except paper.

​

for this module, i did most of the artwork on paper.

so now, lets play and explore!!

THe monogram with the word 'big' and 'medium' is my final monogram that i use to create my 5 item.

​

two small 'J' in a big 'v'

​

it mean, in villson's mind, there are two Jie shien. which mean i atleast two different thinking way or angle for everything. but there is a similarity in those thinking, i only think about something new to me. that is what i call 'MY EXPLORATION'. 

​

​

​

my 6 item

1. fan (asian fan???)

I went 'daiso' to search the possible item for me to transfer my monogram.

​

I saw this and i bought it.

​

it look very easy to transfer.

​

but, it is not that easy that you think.

​

the surface is very uneven, i use two big clip to clip the both bottom side of this fan to make it as flat as possible.

​

but once i clip the both side, the middle side bounce upward... i need to press it when i transfering my monogram onto it.

​

i use a red rendering marker to render because the complementary colour of green is red. (lesson taught by mr.ernesto from fundamental drawing class).

2. candle (wax)

In print making class, i had carve images on wood, lino and cardboard. 

​

this assignment is my chance to try is it possible for me to carve on a candle(wax)?

​

​

some people will say it look very easy to carve on wax. but the truth is, it is really hard to carve a image on candle, especially a small image.

​

i use the normal carving tools that i use in print making class to carve this candle.

​

it is very hard because i can't make a major mistake and i need full concerntration and be patience.

​

the part that been carve will become white colour, the wax break very easily.

​

if i make a major mistake, everyone can see it clearly.

​

​

so is it possible to carve an image on candle(wax) ??? 

YES! IS POSSIBLE, BUT you need practice, skill and a better carving tools for wax carve purpose.

3. Something place under a hot or cold cup. 

this is almost the same like the candle, it look easy but is hard.

​

But honestly, the candle is still the hardest one.

​

i choose this as one of my item because i had seen many of this thing from cafe. normally it is with the beer brand logo.

​

i want to transfer my monogram onto it and i want to know is it easy or hard to cut this thing using a normal cutting blade? 

​

yes, it is quite hard. 

the wax will become white once i cut, and this will break once i cut.

​

i used a very shard cutting blade for this but it still broke easily, especially cutting the details of my monogram.

​

but, it still possible to transfer my monogram onto it, just need to be very concerntrate and patience while cuting it.

4. t-shirt (cotton & nylon)

i want to know can i create my own t-shirt design by just using a normal spray paint??

​

i get two black t-shirt from my wardrobe.

​

the first one is made by cotton.

​

The second is made by nylon.

​

i stick my t-shirt on my car porch floor by using masking tape.

​

i cut my monogram off from paper and spray the back using spray gum.

​

then i stick on my t shirt and start spraying process.

​

i did the same process for the both t-shirt but it come out differently. 

​

the monogram on the nylon t-shirt has contrast compare with the cotton base. 

​

it is because the cotton absorb well, it absorb the paint.

​

the nylon base won't absorb that well, so the paint remain on the surface  of the t-shirt.

​

it look like a printed t-shirt for the nylon base.

​

​

​

LESS CONTRAST                      MORE CONTRAST

5. DREAM CATCHER

i WENT DAISO WITH MY FRIEND FROM OTHER UNIVERSITY, HE TOLD ME SOMETHING VERY STUPID, HE SAID: VILLSON, YOU CAN COOK WELL, WHY DONT U COOK SOMETHING FOR YOUR LECTURER? MAYBE U CAN GET EXTRA MARK?.... I KNOW HE IS JOKING BUT SOMETHING CRAZY COME INTO MY MIND.

​

I SAW A EGG FRYING PAN WITH LOVE SHAPE, AND I START THINKING. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE MY MONOGRAM ON AN

EGG? 

​

I BOUGHT TWO FRYING PAN AND ONE ALUMINIUM PAN.

​

FIRST PAN WAS FAIL, I TRY TO BEND IT BUT IT BROKE. I THREW IT AWAY AND I GIVE UP... 

​

I TRY TO THINK, CAN I TURN THIS PAN INTO SOMETHING ELSE? WITH MY MONOGRAM?? OWHHH IT IS REALLY HARD AND I ALMOST THROW THEM AWAY.

​

I START ROTATE THE PAN AND SOMETHING COME INTO MY MIND AGAIN. A DREAM CATCHER...

​

I DRAW MY MONOGRAM ON THE PAN AND COUNT HOW MANY HOLE I NEED TO DRILL FOR THE TRANSFERING PROCESS.

​

THEN I DRILL THE PAN USING DRILLING MACHINE.

​

NEXT I SPRAY THE PAN AND THE SCREW INTO BLACK. 

​

I PLACE ALL THE SCREW INTO ALL THE HOLE ON THE PAN.

​

THEN I USE BRIGHT COLOR SEWING ROPE TO CREATE CONTRAST AND TRANSFER MY MONOGRAM ONTO THE PAN.

​

I TIE THE SCREW ONE BY ONE AND MY MONOGRAM BECOME A 3D MONOGRAM. 

​

​

back

after transferring my monogram onto the pan. i start to tie the feather together for the dream catcher. 

​

i use eagle feather because eagle is my favourite animal.

​

atlast, my dream catcher finally done.

​

lesson learnt, do not give up. think and try again and again till you make it.

6. jelly & jelly mold 

AFTER CREATE ALL THE 5 ITEM, I STILL CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THE EGG MOLD...

​

I LEFT ONE ALUMINIUM PAN, I JUST CAN'T GIVE UP.

​

I STOP THINKING AND START DOING IT.

​

I DRAW MY MONOGRAM ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN.

​

THEN I USE A CHOPSTICK AND A HAMMER TO KNOCK THE PAN FOLLOWING THE MONOGRAM LINE THAT I DRAWN.

​

IS VERY HARD BECAUSE I NEED TO CONTROL MY PRESSURE VERY WELL. THE ALUMINIUM PAN BREAK VERY EASILY. AND I BROKE FEW HOLE.

​

WHEN I KNOCKING THE BOTTOM, THE WHOLE SURFACE AND THE PAN SHAPE CHANGED...

​

I NEED TO KNOCK THE SURFACE OUT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE PAN...

​

IT IS REALLY HARD...

​

ATLAST IT IS DONE!! BUT THEN I REALIZE ONE THING !! THIS IS ALUMINIUM PAN..IS NOT A NON- STICK FRYING PAN!!! HOW AM I GOING TO FRIED EGG ON IT...

​

I ALMOST GO CRAZY...

​

my mum ask me something... how about jelly?? 

​

mummy, i love you so much... you save me.

i try to make jelly using this mold and it really work !!!

​

it din't look perfect but atleast i created my monogram on a jelly !! i had explored something new !!

i repeat

​

i like to do things differently is not because i want to be someone special or to compete with someone. 

​

i am learning thats why i should not stop exploring something new.

what i mean something new is not something new in this world, it is something new to me.

​

no matter the exploration fail or success, i am exploring something new to me. If there is a mistake, there is where i learn my lesson. 

​

            i will always and only be my self.
