Work by Methavi Pontip



1 : Design Exploration
The photo is taken with iPhone when she went to Mindil beach a month ago. It's the photo of fireworks. She added a filter through Instagram app to make it looks a bit. Then she adjusted brightness, contrast and the image size with Photoshop.
- colour exploration to make the picture more obvious
2 : Design Challenges
- Hard to read the text if you put it as a background

- colour exploration to make the picture has a better colour because it is too light.

PRACTICAL – Design Exploration

Choose your favourite design concept from all your current works

• Use any tools you wish
• Put the results and a paragraph of description in your Blog
• Through a combo of research and creative thinking explore the possibilities of
concept experimentation, variation and evaluation
• List these items clearly, draft examples and explain your thinking
o Two Experiments
o Pros & Cons
o Choosing & Refusing


My favorite design concept from last week : Mobile mirror

 
Mobile mirror
It looks like normal mobile but it is decorated by small pieces of mirror. The screen is made by mirror so it can reflect.









More research
From my research, actually there are many products which has the same concept with my mobile mirror

Two experiment

1. A mobile which has design like a mirror. this design was very popular in Asia girl before. The mobile can use and have all functions like normal mobile phone but design is an interesting thing.  






2. A screen guarder. This one is a common thing which I think almost everyone put on their mobile phone but this screen guarder is made like a mirror. If you put it on your phone, you can use it as a mirror and it also make your mobile look different and protect your screen as the same time.






Choosing and refusing
I think the second one would be better idea for mobile mirror. The first one used to be famous but fashion is never stop and this design might not popular anymore. For the second one, it could be good as long as people still use mobile phone.


This video is a preview about the screen guarder which look like a mirror. I think this is a good idea to make your mobile become more useful. It is a good combination between mobile and mirror and it's possible to make and people accept it.
