Assignment 4 : Self-Titled
1. INSTRUCTIONS
2.PROJECT
The final project consists of combining challenges from three modules: Typography, Illustration and Visual Narrative (IVN), and Digital Imaging and Photography (DPI). My goal is to design an integrated poster that highlights my skills in each of these areas. I'll utilise a custom font I designed (Typo), include a self-portrait (DPI), and thread a connected motivation (IVN) between the font and image to make a visually appealing and intellectually rich poster to express a narrative or theme reflecting personal or artistic identity.

Next, In my Typography lesson, I created my own font named 'ko regular' using Illustrator and Fontlab 7.
I used the word "golden light" for my self-titled poster as it incorporated the meaning followed by my artistic statement.

Final digital poster
Title : Golden light, "C'est la vie" , Living in the moment
Artist Statement:
My work is going to be about what i love and enjoy doing it at the moment. Travel forces us to leave our comfort zones and see, taste, and try new things. It continuously challenges us to not only adapt to and explore new environments, but also to engage with new people, embrace new and significant experiences, and share them with friends and loved ones. That is why I included travelling to different cities in my poster. Besides that, the reason I choose sunrises gradient colour as my background because sunrise represents birth, growth, new beginnings of all kinds, resurrection, even creation, and practically everything with a loved or hoped-for origin. “C’est la vie” quote in Spanish. It means that That’s life so it is what it is, we will be moving on and to the best of life. Living in the moment is also a phrase that I wanted to included in my poster because we have to be living in the moment and therefore, leave no regrets.
