Assignment 3: Surrealism

So I was thinking about my dream. My biggest dream is to travel the world. Since there are some limitations, like time management, how far the places are, hard accommodation etc. I was thinking that I want to have a place that I lived in, is just near the places that I want to be. So it just effortless to go to that place. I can reach those places easily.

Me with the pillow represents happy me relaxing in my pillow. Got excited to visit those places.

Starts from the top image and go with clockwise direction.
1) Snorkelling could be a great idea for relaxing. Beaches have always been a definitely yes for me.
2) Turkey has always been a big dream. I really want to visit that beautiful country. Hagia Sophia is one of Turkey's landmarks
3) Komodo island represents Indonesia. It also got on my 1st list of places to visit in Indonesia.
4) I always been curious about Croatia lately. Just wanna visit that stunning waterfall.
5) Flower fields, France. Who doesn't love flowers? I just love it very much. I really want to be in the centre of flower fields with a stunning view of hills and villages. Let's just go to France, should we?

Air balloon is for my vehicle to go to another place because it's relaxing and I can feel the 'smells' of those places by myself.

I wonder this is real.

Had a lot of fun doing this things, I always had fun on dreaming :)

TADA! Please welcome... Indo Dua Empat!

Just wanna tell you what I felt during the final week is can be explained by one word...

Hectic? 

I guess..

Final weeks were always been a kinda hectic week because we have to present our works. It means we have to print out our works, make a presentation, and prepare the visual diary (which is the most crucial). And to compile things for visual diary is...BOOM!.. quiet tiring. But I was just take it easy and had fun with my hectic-ness ;-D ;-D

ANYWAY!

on Wednesday, January 21st 2015 I was having a presentation about my project, Indo Dua Empat.

Here is it:

Assignment 2: Poster Parody

We were asked to make a movie parody poster. We have a research on poster parody and list of movie from Asia. Finally I chose a poster from Indonesia because it's easily recognise (everyone familiar with it). Many options of Indonesian movie like Ada Apa Dengan Cinta, Janji Joni, Ayat-ayat Cinta, and many more. Since I am a fan of Prisia Nasution, beautiful yet talented Indonesian Artist, I chose her film, Sang Penari. What I like about her is her face is really Indonesian-kind-of-face, she is so down to earth, and she looks so simple and just the way she is but her charm is there. She doesn't need any make up, pretty dresses, and branded items to be beautiful. Her beauty is effortless. Despite her beauty, she is also such a good actress. 

So first thing that I did was brainstorming about what kind of parody would I make:

List up things needed

PHOTO-SHOT

I asked my dad for helping me on this project. So I finally chose Sang Penanti as the movie title. The story is about me begging my dad for pocket money because my money on the wallet is on crisis. And I gave a weld face to make my dad's heart touched. Penanti means someone who waits for something. On this case, I am the one who waits for the pocket money that hopefully would be given by my dad.
