Digitalization

Since I was going for a more scrapbook look to the poster, I decided
to choose lots of elements online to create a more "sticker" or "scrap"
look

I decided to start with picking a style or font for the quote, "Stay True to Yourself".

In the end, it came to either option 1 or 4.

After making the first draft, I noticed that the quote's style didn't fit too well with the poster, so I opted for the option.

Animation
After finalizing the poster, I started to work on the animation. My plan is to animate the "stickers" by slightly rotating or wiggling them.

Artist Statement:
This poster is a reflection of my interests, hobbies, and essentially a visual representation of who I am. It embodies the idea of staying true to myself, as each element on the poster represents a different aspect of my personality and passions. All these elements come together to showcase the uniqueness that makes me, me.
Blue Batik
This traditional fabric symbolizes my connection to the culture I come from and is a reflection of my roots.
Flowers
The flowers reflect my love for floristry and my dreams of becoming a florist one day.
Paper elements
Scrapbooking is another of my hobbies. These paper elements reflect my love for preserving memories through paper. Through scrapbooking, I can capture the essence of moments, expressing my creativity and personal experiences in an artistic way.
Bright colors
The vibrant colors reflect my optimism, enthusiasm, and the positive environment I wish to create around me, from the people I interact with to the places I love to be.
I had lots of fun doing this assignment. It allowed me to do a deep dive into who I am, my passions, and my interests. Through Mr. Fauzi's weekly guidance, I was able to stay on track with the project. Although I had several problems while animating in After Effects, I am happy with the final outcome
