INSTRUCTIONS
PROJECT 1
We were told that for this project, we needed to focus to represent "The Troublemakers Manifesto: A Design Colloquium". This was the provided information that we got from Facebook:
After that, I'm moving on to AI.
After receiving some feedback, I changed it to an expression.
I also tried to add some colors and changes.
(Shown more the last 2 artworks on low right side and) getting feedback from Mr. Vinod, I changed it again.
I showed the changes together with the information.
After getting some feedback, I went back to change it again. I still showed my progress with the information within it.
After that, Mr. Vinod helped me with my work to make it more interesting.
FEEDBACK
General feedback: Mr. Vinod advised us to read more so we got bunch of ideas.
Specific feedback: At first, Mr. Vinod said it's okay, maybe I could change the arrangement of the words and I didn't need to use a whole page so it's the best to put the words together. After I changed it, Mr. Vinod said the words didn't have a flow or it only stayed like in one line and some words are hard to read. He also suggested me to try divided it into some columns and rows to put or arrange the letter one by one. After that, Mr. Vinod said it's better now and I'm getting there, he saw that I already arranged it by column and suggested me that I could arrange it by row too.

Lecture Theatre 12
I started by sketching some ideas from my mind but then it's hard to find the images that I wanted so I draw it on Illustrator. At first I tried to searched some images that showed about troublemaker but it's kind of hard to find what we wanted so I searched some reference from our seniors and I found out that one of the seniors used their own drawing or design for this project. For the second sketch, it actually a character name Bizu from a song called "Snobbism", I sketched him because he had that devil look things which giving me a troublemaker vibes.

FEEDBACK
14.05.19 (Week 7)
General feedback: Mr. Vinod advised us to read more so we got bunch of ideas.
Specific feedback: Mr. Shamsul told me that our project is not about poster, but title & key artwork, while Mr. Vinod said that the one that I showed to them somehow reminded him to an expression or a logo inside a comic, so maybe I could use that if I still wanted to used expression to express troublemaker.
21.05.19 (Week 8)
28.05.19 (Week 9)
Specific feedback: Mr. Vinod suggested me to try primary colors instead of using color like black because it represented more to death.
REFLECTIONS
EXPERIENCES
14.05.19 (Week 7)
It was kind of hard to find the images that I wanted to present the "Troublemakers". I even tried to have some inspiration by scrolling the seniors' works.
21.05.19 (Week 8)
I'm having a hard time and struggling with myself when I wanted to show it to Mr. Vinod (lmao, even the upperclassman saw it all).
28.05.19 (Week 9)
I knew that I didn't have color sense (something like that?) so every time when I wanted to change the color, I struggled with myself, asking for others feedback and so on.
OBSERVATIONS
14.05.19 (Week 7)
Even though our's and seniors' had a different title & key artwork, their works helped a lot.
21.05.19 (Week 8)
After seeing other people's progress, they made me wanted to change mine more.
28.05.19 (Week 9)
There is other people who also used their drawing instead of using the images online.
FINDINGS
14.05.19 (Week 7)
Everyone had different ideas and images to use on this works and it's interesting how they arranged and designed it.
21.05.19 (Week 8)
After struggling myself with all of those nervous and so on, Mr. Vinod first reaction was an "ok". O... kay?
28.05.19 (Week 9)
I thought that the lecturers kind of knew that I'm so argh with the colors? So they told me to stay and sit at the front to focus on it.

The Typographic Layout as Conceptual Artwork (p. 125-127)
Some artists like Carl Andre and Vito Acconci, applied classic Minimalistic strategies like repetition, accumulation, and so on which were to reduce and isolate texts into some independent individuals. By using some example from Carl Andre, the possibility of the words to operate and form as units by using Minimalistic works:
arc
bath
bench
chrome
brine
bulb
cog
Reference List: Andre’s poem “Green” (1960) and Andre’s poem “Essay on Photography for Hollis Frampton” (1963/4).
He also acknowledged the connection between his sculpture and text works:

My interest in elements or particles in sculpture is paral- leled by my interest in words as particles of language...
[I] write poetry in which the sentence is not the dominant form but the word is the dominant form.
By this time, people see Minimalistic design as outdated.
