Assignment 2 - W.I.P

Here's my work in progress for my assignment 2.

1st of all, I rearranged the reference.

Then I used rectangle tool to create sky and calendar background.

After that, I created font for calendar by using type tool. I choose the arial font with bold because arial font is a standard font in any media. For 31st, I changed the color to red, blue, and the stroke is yellow because these colors represent Malaysian flag which is related to Hari Merdeka.
For white line, I used line segment tool.

Then I used pen tool to draw a jet. Then I draw a line with slightly curve to create a jet's smoke. To make smoke much more detail, I choose chalk scribble brush for it's stroke. Then I copied three of a jet with smoke and edit it until I satisfied.

For Tunku Abdul Rahman, I traced him from the reference picture by using the pen tool. Then I filled his skin with white color and his cloth with black color. Some pattern on his cloth filled with white color.

I used pen tool to draw Dataran Merdeka, Klcc and cloud. Then I filled them with appropriate color. I choose black and white color because I followed concept and stylization from the reference calendar which is really nice.

Then It's completed. Here's my final output for my calendar. MERDEKA!!

Assignment 2 - documentation

For assignment 2, I would like to create a calendar with Malaysian Independence Day also knows as Hari Merdeka.

So, among all of the design, I have choose :

I have choose this calendar because it's simple but somehow interesting and when I see the building in this calendar, it reminds me of the rapid achievement Malaysia has accomplished after independence day.

So for my design, I decided to make the calendar to show the development of my country. As Malaysians, we all know that Tunku Abdul Rahman is the father of independence so I'll utilize his image in my design.

This is my reference link which contain information about Hari Merdeka.
