Final post for this blog

Finally this short trimester ended. After all those hectic moments, I survived. I took 3 subjects this semester and I am really exhausted because assignments seems to be popping out every second I thought I have the time to take a break.

Although this short sem is really stressful and packed, I have learnt a lot from this subject such as designing effective navigational signs and also making full use of space for exhibitions. Other than that, I like sketching for this subject because we are required to use rulers to draw unlike other subjects and I like LOVE to draw using ruler. Besides, I love making mock up and we didn't get to do it since beta year and I am really glad we have the chance to do the mock up of the navigational sign. If we were asked to do the mock up of the exhibition booth, I will be more thrilled but hey, we have no time to do so.

Next sem will be internship for me so I am really looking forward to be working in a new environment and hopefully learn some useful knowledge.

Project 2: Phase 2

After few days of hardwork, my exhibition booth for Monopoly is done. I am quite satisfied with the outcome, I just hope I can have better lighting and make a little bit more color used. But I am still very impressed with myself able to work under such pressure and still manage to get this done.

Another Exhibition Booth for MI

Before I can start with my Monopoly booth, I still have this assignment waiting to be done. Since it is also an exhibition booth, I guess I can upload it here too. This is an exhibition booth done for a campaign which we chose and my team chose to do a campaign about women abuse. We wanted to share the message that most women are abused at home so we made our exhibition booth looks like a housing area.

 This is the first version of it but me and my group members think that it is still not polish enough and the colors seems to be a bit out of the place so we spend more time trying to add more things into it.

These 2 are the final product we came up with and we are all very satisfied with it after few restless days and after this assignment we are ready and set to create another exhibition booth for environmental design.

Research on buildings

Since my exhibition booth consist of 4 tall buildings, I guess I need to get some research on how tall building looks like or else my building will not look like skyscraper but some random toy.

I really like this building and I think I might model a similar 1 and place it in the middle

This is great too but the texture does not really fit with my whole idea.

These 3 are suitable for my booth too so I guess I might pick 1 and stat with it.

Project 2: Phase 1

This is the concept board for my exhibition booth. I want to give it a modern twist with tall buildings which looks like the Big Apple (New York City). I wanted to used bold colors too to give it a playful feeling to suit my target audience.

These are the graphics board and the exhibition profile. The graphics board contain the images that I am going to use in the exhibition booth.

This is the design of my exhibition booth which contain of 4 tall building, a gallery, a reception, a gaming area and a discussion ares. The tall building are to attract people's attention and there will be LCD tv on it to show some promotional videos of Monopoly. The gaming area is to let people try out the latest gaming board from Monopoly and the discussion area is for Monopoly lovers to sit down and have a chat.

Print ads from Monopoly

Here is a series of print ads from Monopoly which I want to share. I guess green and red are their main color so I might choose either 1 of them to be the main color of my exhibition booth.

References of exhibition booth

Brands set up exhibition booths when they want to promote their new products or to re-introduce their services and products to the mass audience outside. Exhibition booths need to have a very striking exterior to attract people's attention and a very informative interior to provide the information that the brand is trying to tell the audience. Here are some example I found that serve as my reference before I start sketching for my exhibition booth: 

A very futuristic booth by Motorola that suits the brand identity.

A booth that is very clean and simple but still edgy at the same time.

An exhibition booth by Siemens which look very high tech and interesting.

Like the use of the leaves shape as the roof and the wood texture as the body.

A very unique looking exhibition booth with lights that can attract people.
