Evaluation of my snowboard design

Evaluation

This is the evaluation about my second assignment brief. Assignment is about creating our own snowboard design. This assignment wasn’t that hard as the first projects because in the first project, it was like the very first experience of making my own projects and analyze about my works and other works. So that time was really hard for me but on this one I kind of know what I should do and need to do. While I was doing my first assignment sheet my teacher told me that next assignment is going to be creating snowboard designs.

I was wondering how we were going to do it our snowboard designs and was very exciting and interesting. I got the assignment brief after the half term, after I got the assignment brief I didn’t know how to make it. I didn’t know how to create my own design as well, but in my 2D lesson my teacher taught us how to make print making. At that time I didn’t know why we had to do lots of print making but I did a lot of print making as I can.

When all the print making dried, my teacher gave us the layout of the snowboard. I cut of the bit that I don’t need and use other bit to get my snowboard designs. I put it on the print making paper, and get the designs. I had 38 designs of the snowboard that I made it. Some are from my print making, some are from magazines and the other bits are I drew it on my own.

Snowboard designs are not easy as the first project, I have to think what kind of designs I should do will look good. While I was doing the projects I didn’t have much difficulty as like the first assignment. I knew that every assignment/projects I need to do research and analyze about the artist and my own works. I looked at the artists’ works, if I’m like their works I started looking for their history, biography and works. I done the research of the 6 artists and I wrote it on my blog http://maymtk.blogspot.com/.

I drew some pictures of the artists’ work as well in my sketch book. My works are not really connecting with my design but the shade, the colors, patterns, lines and structure are kind of relating to them. I am always wanted to improve my works; I never think my works are good that’s why I always try my best to get a good works like others. I am always learning from artists, friends and teachers how they do it to get the great works, good grade etc.

In this project I had learn how to make print making, learn about how to draw with ink and stick together on the paper, learn about shading the right place, I learn a lot about perspective drawing, understanding about the secondary colors, values, tertiary colors, tints and the shades. I also drew some still life drawing in my sketchbook. I am not happy with my designs for this because I didn’t have enough time and I want to do it properly to my final design like on the big paper or the board like my first project.

However I tried my best again for this projects, and I will always going to try my best for my every projects to get the grade that I want. I always spend more time with my works, and thinking what kind of design I should do. I think I done it well on this project even thought I didn’t have my good final design. And I want to do it a lot more and do good designs if I can have an extra time.

I've done my final pieces for my snowboard, I inspired the 2 artists work that I like most. I done one final piece inspired by the Piet Moderian, and the Murakami Takashi's work, I copied some of them work that I like most then I created on my own way and made my snowboard design. I have my own city scape, I done it in many ways first I traced some bit of the building that I like after that I photo copied it. 

After I photo copied it I started shaded in that I wanna cut off, I cut off the bit that I shaded. Then I put it on the color paper, white paper and stick it on them. It turns out really great, before i done that I took some bit from my city scape to create my snowboard design. I done 2 snowboard design which its related with my city scape. This project was not hard as the first one but it also confused to think of an idea to get final piece. I'm kinda happy with my final pieces but I want to improve more to get a better grade and look good.
