Design Principles : Task 3
14.3.2024 -28.3.2024 /Week 6- Week 8
Final Outcome:
In a poignant visual metamorphosis, the unassuming fork, once a utensil for sustenance, now embodies both anguish and optimism. Its prongs, once laden with nourishment, have transformed into instruments of anguish, penetrating the essence of human existence. Like a prison, the fork ensnares individuals, symbolizing the widespread hunger tormenting millions globally. However, within this somber depiction, there echoes a plea for action—a cry for transformation. Let us not wield our forks as weapons, but as agents of change. Together, we possess the power to alter the course of events, ensuring that no one goes to sleep on an empty stomach.
Fork: The existence of this fork is actually ironic. Its purpose was originally to enable human survival, but unexpectedly, it can also destroy a person's life.
Hand：The four hands also symbolize the meaning of the three major races in Malaysia along with the minorities. It represents that all of us are striving to survive, working together to prevent famine. Therefore, we are striving to take the fork away from people.
Monster: Famine means devil. The devil is trying to take people life.
Jail: Represents humans being confined within, just as the fork tightly traps them until they can no longer survive

Reflection：
Reflecting on my design principles class, I find it to be an enlightening journey that delved deep into the core principles governing effective design. Throughout the course, I gained a comprehensive understanding of various design principles and their applications across different mediums.
One of the key takeaways from the class was the concept of unity. Learning how to unify elements into a coherent whole to emphasize collective impact was a pivotal lesson. Whether it's in graphic design, architecture, or product design, the ability to create unity fosters harmony and coherence, elevating the overall impact of the design.
Additionally, the importance of alignment was emphasized throughout the course. Understanding how proper alignment can enhance visual appeal and convey meaning was enlightening. From typography to layout design, aligning elements effectively can reinforce hierarchy, guide the viewer's eye, and communicate messages more clearly.
Moreover, the class provided valuable insights into the significance of contrast in design. Exploring how stark contrasts can create visual tension and draw attention to specific elements highlighted the power of contrast in making designs more dynamic and engaging. Whether it's through color, shape, or texture, harnessing contrast effectively can make designs more visually compelling.
Overall, the design principles class equipped me with a solid foundation in understanding the fundamental principles that underpin successful design. It not only broadened my knowledge but also inspired me to approach design projects with a more critical and thoughtful perspective. I look forward to applying these principles in my future.
