PART 1: WEEK 11
Idea Development
1. Write a biography about yourself
INTRO: Tell us about yourself
My name is Rachel Ng. Born and raised in the tropical rains of Malaysia. I’m 19 this year. I like listening to music, especially movie soundtracks. I prefer to avoid fights and discourse. This is the first semester of my degree, there are some up and downs, but I think I’m getting by just fine.
PARAGRAPH 1: What is your passion?
I’m a dreamer. I like to think and to imagine the things I love in life. I like candy, sweets, pastries, and desserts. I used to like sweeter things when I was younger, though these days I prefer bitter-ish things like dark chocolates and green tea. I also love listening to music, reading stories, watching movies and shows.
PARAGRAPH 2: What’s motivate you to achieve your dream?
Music and stories. I feel the motivated when listening to music, and reading stories. Every melody tells me a story, and stories allow me to experience different feelings and emotions. Its calms me down, or give me ideas to act on. Also, I like looking at the stars and the galaxy, make me wonder what is out there.
SUMMARY: How do you want to visualize your dream into an artwork?
With elements that incorporate my passions, my likes, and my dreams

2. Write a statement about your work
INTRO: Tell us about your work
My work is based on the biography we are asked to do. This work represents me, the dreamer.
PARAGRAPH 1: What is the concept behind it?
My work is about me dreaming about the things I like, my passions, my motivation, and my hobbies.
PARAGRAPH 2: What is the message you want people to understand it?
I want people to see and understand how interesting and beautiful dreaming is. I want the viewer to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their own dreams. I want people to see that creativity is not a fleeting moment but a universe within us, waiting to be explored. We are all dreamers in our own way, orbiting worlds of ideas and crafting constellations of inspiration.
SUMMARY: What is your motto/ quote?
The Dreamer

Design Direction
Sketch progress #1
Fig 1.4 - First sketch
This stage of the sketch is to roughly pinpoint where things and going to go and the overall composition. The overall composition and element are mainly inspired by Poster 1 and 2 (See Fig 1.1 and Fig 1.2). I took the idea of having wings around the eyes from poster 3 (See Fig 1.3). The wings around my eye signifies that I'm dreaming, and the music notes around me displays the calmness and peacefulness of the scene.
Sketch progress #2
Fig 1.5 - Final and more detailed sketch
This version of the sketch contains more details and specific thoughts on where things are supposed to go. The planets and the starry sky behind me showcases the dreamlike atmosphere of the poster.
Reflection :
Designing a poster themed around me is interesting and challenging. I had to reflect on my hope and dreams in order to make this poster. Also, on composition arranging, I need to arrange it in a way that the focus is going towards the main subject of the poster, and not just piling everything into the poster and expecting it to look good.
