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.
What is a stamp art? Is it simply a crafting processing of different materials on a plate panel? Yes it is. However, the expression or the idea should be concerned as an important part. A stamp art sometimes creates an impression due to its unique layout-expression.
Commonly, a stamp art is developed on a plate, which could be made from glass, wood, thick paper, plastic, or steel. Then the artists express their idea on it by using different materials such as pieces of paper, color ink, and anything which is suitable for the expression.
Rubber stamp art by Michael Dare:
This is a rubber stamp art, which creates a beautiful painting in colors. The shapes are complicated but together they make a nice balance.

Christmas Card_00295:
This Christmas card was developed with stamp art। Grid layout also is popular in stamp art। Is this a kind of module grid?
Triangle Collage:
Once again I wonder is this a deconstructed grid layout or module grid layout with triangle shapes? However, the color expression is really impressive!
Century Gothic is a kind of font, which is based on the geometric style sans serif faces. It was designed in 1991 for Monotype Imagine-a typesetting and typeface design company. It takes stimulation from Sol Hess's Twentieth Century, which was a successful Futura typeface in 1937-1947.
Century Gothic has a larger x-height, and more stroke width. the face is totally full circle counter for its lowercase ‘o’, ‘q’, ‘a’, and ‘g’.
This typeface is useful for headlines and display in small quantities of texts, particularly in advertising. Gothic is the word related to something very natural. Therefore the Century Gothic typeface could be suit for the cases, which express the beautiful feeling, natural feeling, and perfect feeling. However, due to its layout based on the sans serif, it should be use for modern printing.
