Assignment 2B - Man-Made Structure

So, after completing Assignment 2A Natural Structure, we were asked to do Assignment 2B Man-Made Structure. This assignment is about translating the natural structure that we drew into a structure which can be built. To be honest, i felt the tree i drew in Assignment 2A was not the easiest thing to work with.

At first, I wanted to convert the tree into a building, but then i felt it would look like any other building. Then I thought of looking at it upside down to make it an arch. But I didn't like that idea of drawing a tree the wrong side up. So, i decided to make my tree into a column of a bridge. This is my end design:


~My final design~

Other than just designing a man-made structure, we were also required to explain in words why we drew that structure. I exlained my intention in the window next to my drawing using the intention, act, product concept.

For this assignment, we were also required to design our own logo for RUS 101. So I came up with one using Adobe Illustrator:

~My very own logo~

The 'I' in my logo stands for Integrated, so when combined with the word 'Studio' beside it makes it Integrated Studio, which is RUS 101. The 'I' is made up of seven squares of different colours, representing the seven courses in HBP. There are some squares which are detached to further emphasize the meaning of 'integrated'. That is basically the meaning of my logo.

The end.
