Week 7 : 1st Sketches

Here's my sketches, initially i was decided to use the idea for my exhibition booth. From the top, we can see the shape of  h20 molecule, it would be my concept. My booth are contain some rounded and curvy shape to show that the water wave. and Blue and white is my color concept.I'm using these 2 colors because blue show the sea and the white show pure and clean.









After few sketches, I was changed my mind and do something different than molecule. Since the mosaic tiles will be using in my design, so I decide to us square as my main shape, like the sketches below.






Week 6 : Assignment 2

This week, we will going to proceed to phase 2, which is we have to design a exhibition booth for a company to promote their products. first, we have to draw our floor plan and facade view follow with the grid that lecturer given. 6m X 9m X 6m. I decided to choose a Cosmetics company. I was choosen the "~H20+" company.






Week 5 : Murphy's Law

These are some Murphy's Law examples:

-A slice of buttered bread, when dropped from a height, will always land butter-side down.
-Gerrold's Laws of Infernal Dynamics #1: If an object is in motion, it will always be going in the wrong direction
-Gerrold's Laws of Infernal Dynamics #2: If an object is stationary, it will always be in the wrong place.
-Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
-Everything takes longer than you think. Or, everything takes twice as long as it should; excepting that which appears easy, taking three times as long.
-Nothing is as easy as it looks.
-The first 90% of the job takes the first 90% of the time. The second 10% of the job takes the second 90% of the time.r
-Just when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, the roof caves in.

Basically, from this site, we can know that everything or anything will goes wrong no matter what happen. For my understanding, from this law, we know that nothing is impossible and nothing is possible. Everything is 50:50. For example, "Winning the lottery happens to everyone else", or we are overlooked somehow,when we think that everytings seems to be easy.For design, a single simple photo has tells it all, is more than a thousand words somehow.

Variations on Murphy's Law

  1. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
  2. Everything takes longer than you think.
  3. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
  4. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
  5. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
  6. Quantization Revision of Murphy's Laws: Everything goes wrong all at once.
  7. Murphy's Constant: Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value.
