Sketches

fig 1.1 Attempt of sketching

Mr.Hafiz said that the person need to be bigger, and this have a small meaning, he asked me to explore more if I wanted to make an old school theme, then, I scroll through Pinterest and found this type of text

Mr.Hafiz said it was interesting and I started to digitalize it.

I wanted to do a more girly, elegance, and feminine theme in this task, so I decided to make the theme of my Self-Titled 'Coquette Elegance'

Quotes

The quotes I choose is "She holds close, delight" which means the woman in question finds joy and happiness in things that are dear to her heart. It suggests that she cherishes certain aspects of her life or certain people and finds delight in them. The phrase conveys a sense of appreciation and contentment in the things that bring her joy. 

Digitalization

First, I make the necessary part of the poster, which is the portrait, the text, and some elements.

Mr.Hafiz said my sketch is not really meaningful, I need to do some more research. Moreover, the portrait of me should be big.

REFLECTION

Creating a self-portrait poster was a fun project that let me explore who I am through art. At first, I wasn't sure how to do it, but I started by thinking of which part of me I wanted to show. I learned that making a good poster is about more than just drawing, I had to think about where everything goes on the page and how it all fits together. Mr.Hafiz feedback also really helps me throughout this task.
