A1.
Design Elements
Task
-
Six portrait-oriented reference images of interior spaces were selected and marked visible points on each image and connected them to form two-dimensional patterns.
-
Descriptions were added to analyze the patterns formally.
-
One pattern from PART 1 was chosen and transformed into a three-dimensional (3D) model.
-
The selected pattern was marked on an A5-sized base, measuring 15cm x 21cm.
-
Key points and lines within the pattern that will serve as the basis for developing planes and voids, creating space and volume using various shapes and forms were identified.
-
A minimum of two mock-up models or working models were produced before settling on one final 3D model that was placed on the A5 base (15cm x 21cm) and not exceeding the height limit of 15cm.

01
I first selected my pattern of choice which I thought had more potential of developing and building up.
02
The pattern was then printed out and pasted onto a foam board.
03
Exploration into the first mock-up; playing around with height and arangements.
04
Upon mock-up completion, analysis of the model was done to identify are of improvements and areas to retain.
05
A second mock-up was created according to the changes implemented from the first mock-up.
06
An analysis was once again done upon completion to finalize the ideas for the final model and design direction.

Final Model
Part 1 of assignment where images were selected, then points and lines were created to for 2-dimensional planes
Outcome
The first assignment on "Design Elements" has been an eye-opening experience. I learned about the formation of plans, volume, and space in design. Studying the fundamental principles and creating two-dimensional patterns that translated into three-dimensional models allowed me to explore different shapes and forms. I gained a deeper understanding of how design elements interact to create harmonious compositions. The iterative process of refining my designs taught me the value of experimentation and critical analysis. This assignment has provided a strong foundation for future projects, and I'm excited to apply these newfound skills in my design journey.
TGC: Problem Solving, Critical and Creative Thinking Skills
Undertaking the assignment on "Design Elements" has been a transformative learning experience, highlighting the significance of analytical, synthetic, and evaluative skills in arriving at rational, critical, and creative solutions. Throughout the project, I delved into the intricate world of design elements, grasping their essential role in shaping compositions and spatial relationships. The process demanded a keen eye for detail to analyze various design principles and their interconnections. Synthesizing this knowledge, I explored form manipulation and experimented with different elements to create harmonious designs. Moreover, evaluating the effectiveness of my choices allowed me to refine and improve my concepts iteratively. This assignment honed my ability to approach design challenges thoughtfully, combining evidence and insights to reach well-reasoned and innovative conclusions. The experience has undoubtedly enhanced my analytical prowess and nurtured my creative thinking, preparing me to tackle future design endeavors with confidence and ingenuity.
