WEEK 1- 3 FAVOURITE GRAPHIC DESIGN COMPOSITION

List down 3 favourite graphic design composition work from Pinterest. Explain it on your E-portfolio blog about why you like the designs.


Since there were many types of graphic design compositions, I did research on the collage composition since we were to create our own collage in our coming exercise. I chose 3 of my favourite collage compositions and at the same time, I was looking through the other artworks as inspiration while browsing.

In this monochrome image, the vibrant and beautiful colours of the flowers caught my eyes. The flow of the flowers brought a focus to a child which appears lonely. From my point of view, the uncoloured image might be presenting the child's inner feelings. At this deserted area, the plants were mostly cactus which theyre known to be mentally strong, resembling the child's personality. In contrast, the flowers shows a more bright and positive feeling that might represent how this child shows his bright side, showing love and support during tough situations in others.

This collage shows three young girls watching the scenery. I love the colour scheme used in this image, such as the primary colours and the complementary colours. The highlight of the view is the pastel sky and a huge hibiscus behind the mountain. This makes the image interesting and gives a dreamy feeling, an unrealistic scenery. At the same time, it gives a vibe of wizard od oz because of the place.

When I first saw this poster, I was impressed by the idea of the artist. It's a simple image where it highlights a (curious) boy using the whipping cream on the snow mountain. It is such a creative idea how the whipping cream could be expressed as the snow on the mountain. The whole image is low saturated, simple and clean yet eye-catching!

To start, I used the Color Shades Finder tool to refine the color palette. One of the issues with the Watsons app is its lack of a consistent color theme. While the current colors somewhat represent the brand and make the app recognizable, they can also feel overly distracting. For the high-fidelity prototype, I focused on creating a more cohesive and simple color theme. In the existing app, green, blue, pink, and various gradients are frequently used. For this redesign, I chose colors...
