Task 2/ Decisive Moment

Task 2 :

I had decided to choose a famous Japanese urban legend which is Kuchisake-onna or Slit-Mouthed Woman. 

The legend commences with a stunning woman, who was married to a samurai. But beware, looks can be deceiving—she was very vain and one day, went as far as cheating on her Samurai husband. When he found out about the affair, he grew very enraged and slit her mouth from ear to ear, giving her a Glasgow smile (which is a smile caused by wounds cutting from ear to ear). Following this savage action, he asked, “Who will think you’re pretty now?” Although the original tale is a cautionary one to remind people to stay faithful, the story takes a gruesome turn.

This apparent phenomenon can be explained:a woman wearing a surgical mask or mask of some sort who would approach people (usually children) at night and ask them, “Am I pretty?” If they said no, she would slash their faces with a pair of scissors, giving them a similar Glasgow smile. However, if they said yes, she would reveal her face and ask again. If this time, they said “no”, she would slash their faces regardless Even if they still said yes, she would follow them home and still brutally kill them. Many people believe the only way to break this pattern, is to confuse her by answering with either “you’re okay” or “so-so”, not providing a definite answer. The confusion from these replies would buy the victim enough time to get away.

Typographic Systems (Week 1) There are eight major variations : Axial Radial Dilatational Random Grid Modular Transitional Bilateral Typographic systems are akin to what architects term shape grammars . The system has a set of rules that apply in a step-by-step way to generate a set, or language, of designs. While some feel these impositions take intuition away from a teaching point of view, they provide a solid framework that allows learners to be guided in their exploration while intuition develops. Axial - text is on the left or right of the axis, the axis can be a straight line or bent line Radial - text is extended from a point or multiple points of focus Dilatational - text extended from a center point in a circular form Random - text has no specific pattern or relationship Grid - a system o...

Packaging and Merchandising Design / Task 1 (Case Study & Box Making)

MYRA ELIDA BINTI ABD AZIS 0358516 PACKAGING AND MERCHANDISING DESIGN / MER60104 TASK 1 /  CASE STUDY & BOX MAKING Module Information Booklet Progress Case Study We had to choose one existing packaging design and study on the entire design, practicality, ergonomics, target audience and how the packaging carries the brand image. Then, write a short report based on our observation and research. Draft : Fig 1.1 Final : Fig 1.2 Box Making We had to choose 2 loose items and design a box for each item. Final : Fig 2.1 Fig 2.2 Reflection Designing packaging taught me the power of intentional visuals and how each design choice impacts brand identity and customer perception. Through this process, I learned to prioritize both creativity and functionality, ensuring symbols like a sun for UV protection or a raindrop for hydration not only conveyed product benefits but also engaged the senses. Incorporating natural elements, like apple and matcha, reinforced the product's essence, while bala...
