TUTORIAL - Folder System and E-portfolio.
During the tutorial session, Mr. Fauzi presented an introduction to collage and he showcased a demo video that involved the steps in creating a physical collage. This was aimed at providing us with guidance for our project 01A, which is crafting a physical collage. Following that, he remind us to prepare our own design elements for the collage, such as magazines, newspapers, or other materials. Finally, he shared a link containing previous students' collage works in order to inspire and assist us in planning our own physical collage designs.

PRACTICAL - Creating E-portfolio.
In the first week's tutorial, I followed the guidelines to create our own e-portfolio. Once that was done, I logged into my Pinterest account and proceeded to create a board for this particular module. Lastly, I searched for three graphic design works on Pinterest that caught my interest, and I copied and pasted them into a Google document provided. I provided descriptions for each poster and explained why I felt they expressed me.

Figure 1.1 Design 01.

Description: I was impressed by the color and the object that was used in this illustration.
This Poster Expressed: This illustration is for the Absolut competition in 2019. The concept is "Encourage you to be yourself". It brings a meaning of empower yourself to show the world a new perspective instead of remaining silence. Don't be afraid to shine and make your voice heard loud and clear.

Figure 1.2 Design 02.

Description: The illustration is cropped into different parts and it’s meaningful.
This Poster Expressed: This illustration is a poster for the Fondation BNP PARIBAS which was commissioned by Usbek & Rica. The aim of creating this illustration is to promote a series of conferences that focus on the critical issues of global warming and climate change in various specific fields. Certain parts of the illustration will be cropped and used to raise awareness about the conferences, which will feature presentations by leading scientists from diverse backgrounds.

Figure 1.3 Design 03.

Description: I was impressed by the illustration and the color using of the illustration.
This Poster Expressed: This illustration is a New series of The 24 solar terms for the Chinese cosmetic brand Baique Ling. This series explores a similar theme but does so in a different way, using the solar terms as a metaphor for goddesses with unique abilities. This is named The End Of Heat. It shows the scorching summer heat has dissipated, making way for the crisp, cool breeze of autumn.
