ProJect 1. Me, Myself & 1

Project 1A: Self Portrait.

                Have taken my Photo and drew by refering to it. Did it look like me? xD

Project 1B: Logo Design.

Design 1: 

Design 2:

         At first, i'm using design 1, but after i showed it to my lecturer, i changed my mind.
A good logo is what that represents you, your personality, and your characteristic, and is not to put your name in it. So, I changed to this Design 2 to be submitted.

The 1st design, there are actually my name in it. James TYJ. And if u look from right to left, you could find the word "Sexy" which i want to say that, architect is one of the most sexy career, and it's true, try google "the most sexy career" and you will know haha.

Whereas the 2nd design, I use it to represents my attitude towards archietcture. Notice the black dot, it's actually to be coloured to red, and represents the red sun. Sun gives energy, and it brings positive emotion to people. I'm using it to represents that, my architecture is focusing on the emotion of the people, and also their space. "Their space" is represented by the space i left white. The others is coloured in black. Black is a colour that could show elegancy, and mysterious. It's representing the building i designed, to be elegant, and it's shape represents that, my archietcture is dynamic, but yet it is standing firmly, and protecting the white space ( people)
.

So, basically this is what i did for my project 2. Thanks for reading!.

1st day of lecture session: The RUS104-Studio

         This is the first lecture session we had with our lecturer. During the morning, after we took a seat and when the lectures starts, our first studio begins =).

         Our lecturer gave us a briefing on our courses, on the importance of the role of our career in ensuring the structure constructed did not collapsed and endanger the residence life. From this short briefing, i felt a sense of responsibility of an Architect. Our job is not only providing a comfort living place, but also a safe shelter which brings no worries to our resident. This is a matter that should not be overlook.

        After that, we had been divided to our own groups with our own lecturer that guide us for our studio course throughout the semester. My group is the third group, with Dr. Mohd. Hafizal Mohd Isa as our lecturer. But then, the challenges comes.

      We are required to buy our drawing tools, sketchbook and other necessary things for our studio lecture and projects before our studio lecture starts. Unfortunately, it is raining during the time. Together with other HBP friends, we fought with the strong wind and rains to reach the shop which is located at Sungai Dua. It is a special experience I would say, as we made our first step in challenging our limits.

       And here comes our studio! The first lesson, we are given coursework of self portrait, designing a logo to show our unique characteristic and also a visual blog, which is why I'm here, writing this =)
Then, we are given a lesson on technical writing. We are introduced the technical letters which is very important as, if we did not write it clearly, the engineers might misunderstood the detailing, and might endanger the residence. The structure might collapse with a small mistakes!
"I'M AN ARCHITECT AND MY HANDWRITING SUCKS!"

This is what we required to do throughout the lesson, practicing to write this sentence with technical letters. With the help of lecturer and constant practice, I think I would be able to write it more 'professionally" haha.

      So.. our first lesson ends here. =) Thanks for reading xD
