Tutorial
We got introduce about google classroom, google drive folder system, because this will be the tool for us to submit our exercise work. After that, we got to introduce the fundamentals of creating collages. 

Following that, we have to start preparing the design elements for our collages, which will be utilised in the Week 2 exercise. Additionally, Mr. Fauzi has encouraged us to review past students collage works [https://fauziyusoff.com/dpicollage] for reference.


Practical
We were instructed to choose 3 favourite graphic design works from Pinterest and provide explanations for why we like these designs.

Design #1: Life, Universe & Everything — 42 (By Josh Schaub)

Fig 2.1 Life, Universe & Everything


Description: 
This design incorporates a palette of neutral colours, which offer flexibility, clarity, and a timeless quality. I like this design because it reflects the artist's unbridled exploration of his inner world and showcasing his boundless imagination. The details and the fusion of surrealism and realism in this design are particularly striking. Furthermore, the design, though seemingly intricate, yet it manages to uphold an extraordinary sense of precision and order that adds to its overall allure.


Design #2: No Fire No Reading (By Jeremy Booth)

Fig 2.2 No Fire No Reading


Description: 
I like this design because this minimalist vector design captivates me through its striking simplicity. This art form invites me to centre my attention on the core concept without any distracting elements. The warm and inviting colour palette gracefully transports me to the serene ambiance of a sunlit summer afternoon. Also, the interplay of light and shadow skilfully creates a captivating moods and atmospheres within the design.


Design #3: Nokia 3310 (By Giacomo Sforza)

Fig 2.3 Nokia 3310


Description: 
When I first saw this poster, a wave of nostalgia washed over me, transporting me back to the iconic Nokia era that reigned supreme during the 2000s. The poster seamlessly intertwines with the Y2K design style, creating a harmonious fusion of past and present. What truly captivates me about this Y2K design is its remarkable ability to emanate a distinct and alluring charm, effortlessly encapsulating the very essence of the early 2000s, a time marked by technological innovation and cultural shifts.
