responsibility of a Graphic Designer




In the past week I have been chosen as the graphic designer to run a final project for the subject history of new media. My main task is to:
  • design the layout of user interface.
  • design the typography of the text.
  • search the reference of the layout's design .
My main reference is www.coolhomepages.com , this website is really cool!!!

Contemporary Art

I chose this picture for my contemporary art, this picture is the 'pintu jentere' on the design pattern of traditional Malay village. The design of 'pintu jentere' represents the heritage of the local Malay villages in the use of brown color and the use of wood. In addition, the 'door jentere which is located here as a' welcome 'to visitors and to reflect the culture of hospitality that is practiced by the people.

Malaysian Artist

I know a great local artist in Malaysia, whose name was Leon Lim. Leon Lim is an artist, designer and photographer who was schooled in Singapore and now lives in New York City. As i know he has been profoundly deaf since birth and disability in itself was cause him developed a strong sense of seeing.
As an artist Lim has been created
paintings and sculptures to interior/architectural models and graphic design to multimedia and art installations and photographs.

Why do I choose Lim as an example artist of learning? This is because of his first art work 'The Recycled Head Anatomy in George Town, Penang'.


Leon Lim has given me guidance in learning to produce an art work, to produce 'The Recycled Head Anatomy in George Town, Penang', he collects any wasteful and damaged materials, such as plastic film and video footage, and broken glasses. It teach me all the knowledge I receive is a source of inspiration for me to produce more creative art work.
