Title: Nirvana
Size: 1080 px (width) : 1920 px (height)
Artist Statement:

"Nirvana. An ideal place where it doesn’t exist in reality; a place where one can feel peace without suffering."

With this “Self-Titled” Project, I want to represent myself, someone who really loves fiction, surreal things, with touches of dreamy and calming feeling combined with childishness traits.

Through this design, I want to present my feelings about my ideal world. Using contrasting elements (e.g. whale and airships) in one place, I want to describe the idea of freedom – where we can dream of anything that we wanted to be. Some elements (e.g. castle, cloud, stars) were used to represent the dream of a little girl, being a princess. I want to deliver the representation of the “princess” in my own Nirvana.

This is myself, someone who likes to dream about things and I’m the princess of my own world. I feel calm and peaceful when I’m in my world.

REFLECTION

What I've learnt from this module:
(technically)
This module taught me about photo editing mostly. I've learnt lots of technique that I haven't know and learnt before, such as; masking, recoloring, and smooth photo manipulations. I never been able to do some good photo editing, but after I learnt from this module, I understand the technique better and it can be seen from my final project.

Even though it's an online class, I gain some knowledges for examples about; bezier, studio photographies, lighting. Besides those, I also leant Adobe AfterEffects, which is actually I'm very blind about it. This module has taught me a basic way of doing animation, although it's quite basic, to be honest it really helped me in doing my other project assignments.

(overall)
Other than the technical terms, this module has a very important knowledge about composing elements; which we didn't learnt as much as in here in the other classes. I didn't really understand about composition at first, I struggled in doing that as I'm not quite confident with my compositions. But then, I think I understand on how to make a good composition better.

What I enjoy the most:
My favorite one is the "self-titled" project. It made me think of myself, and understand myself better. Besides that, I really like it because it's a form of self-expression that I made using combinations of photo manipulating techniques. I also enjoyed this project because compared to other projects, it's a project that allowed us to think creatively, with unlimited elements.

What I didn't enjoy the most:
I didn't quite enjoy project 1A since it's very hard to find old magazines and pictures as I wanted. Also, when I went in to the class for the first time, it's hard to make a good compositions for me because I'm not used to do that. Then, it made me felt unconfident with this class.

What has changed:
As I progressed more and moved forward, I noticed some change in the way I made compositions. I usually made compositions with lots of elements in there, and it'll look very full. But as I learnt more about composition, I think I managed to apply "space" in compositions. I noticed it'll look better when I did that.

Things that I realized during the process:
I think I'm not a quite good communicator, because I struggled to find words to say sometimes. I'm still progressing on how to become a better talker, especially when I presented my work and progression in class, and I'm sorry if I ever responded silent in class sometimes, which can bring awkward atmosphere.
