This is our group's mockup of website in DIM 3. We design tis mockup in Photoshop. We try to design the themeplate related with the style of the logo. This is website of "Saigon Players", the logo has the bammbo and funny - sad face and palm-leaf conical hat so that we choose the themeplate belonged Vietnam culture. The main color as the color of old bamboo and the navigation bar is the body of the bamboo. Moreover in each subpage we also choose the vietnam style to decorate.After the discussion about Collage and Photomontage in the class, I would do a little practice about this technology by developing an idea about “Vietnam Today”.
First, the little girl in the center could be represented for my country today: poor and small. A few pictures with blur effect create the growth of Vietnam but what you can see in the pictures is not really good about this country.
Second, the way I use color for the poster has some meaning. If we say Vietnam is growing, the haft left could represent the past and the right side is now to future. In the past, Vietnam was mostly an agricultural country, nature, and true color. However, today part is only one color. Why is that?
Let us just think about Vietnam today… air polluted, people and bikes are everywhere. It does not fresh anymore, and becoming boring.
I have viewed a graphic designer named Jan Lenica in the Polish Poster website who has a very special type in her posters.
Just take a quick look around her posters; we could see that she preferred human face and human body in many of her posters. The human face and body are very abstract. They do not look real; sometimes there was only a mouth or just the eyes on the face.
On the other hand, I realize that Jan likes to use dark colours combine with thick line to create the motion for her posters. Some of Jan’s posters are strong contrast and the elements often symmetric.
