REFLECTION

EXPERIENCES

Learning Illustration and Visual Narrative was quite a rewarding experience for me as I get to enhanced my design skills and have a deeper understanding on Illustration and Visual Narrative. Starting a new module on Illustration and Visual Narrative was like entering a secret world that I never knew existed. At first, I didn't know the possibilities and creative potential hidden within the strokes of a pen or the hues of a digital canvas. However, it quickly evolved into a captivating journey of self-expression and narrative exploration.

I felt a bit confusing at first, figuring out how to using the pen tools, knife tools, color blending. However by practicing and getting feedbacks from my lecturer, Mr Hafiz, I learned and improved along the way.

OBSERVATIONS

I found out that Illustration isn't just about just drawing images, it's about crafting a visual narrative that guides the reader's eye through the content. For example, experimenting with the different styles, colors and techniques. Besides, I also discovered how subtle changes in the use of colors, textures, and visual elements could profoundly impact the emotional resonance of an illustration.

I also started noticing the use for Illustration in our daily life. For instance, advertisement billboards, signs, logos, websites and books. It's like undercovering or seeing something I once didn't even pay a slightest attention to even though it was there all along.

FINDINGS

One of the most profound revelations during this learning experience was understanding the power that an illustration holds in sending out messages to the readers. Illustrations are not just a mere images, they have their own styles and narratives that can shape the tone, mood, and perception of visual storytelling. From the whimsy of cartoon illustrations to the sophistication of detailed realism, each artistic choice contributes to the overall narrative.
