object of my affection and distress
i like this assignment. i do. but its driving me to the bloody edge!!! it took me a while (slightly too long) to get into the project, but as with everything else, once you get your head around it things will start to clear itself out.. sorta.
oke. so this is info design. the objective is to (re)design the informatics of an existing festival. the original brief went on and on about websites which left us all with HUGE questionmarks at the start, but as it turns out we can choose our own application as long as it shows enough information.. that being sitemaps, tables, graphics, yadda.. now i was originally going to do something local. but then at the first sesi tanya jawab ama kelas i got ‘inspired’ by a classmate to do something bilingual! but of course!!! this would be a perfect opportunity to something dutchy. but oh boyyyy turns out that it requires nearly twice as much work -__-*.
so my outcome was going to be a program book. format is A3 divided in 3 parts, so that creates one side in dutch and the other one in english.
like so..
english side
dutch side
reads like this
if folded out, looks like that. but this is not how you read it, obviously.
now.. iv only done the english part. that is nearly finalised, and only then will i start doing the dutch side. mr ward then came with the question “do you have anything else to add to this document?”. i was like WHAAAAATTTT?!?! tp yeh while waiting for my consultation slot i DID think about something, but thot that it would only stay as an idea.. so to fill up my very empty process journal so to speak heheh. but oh tidaaaaaakk. faced with that question i blurted out that i was going to do some sort of poster. yg skaligus juga jadi infosheet/mapping. HALAH. BLOODY BILINGUAL JUGA. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! its going to be different from the existing document tho. its pointless to just copy paste, right.
so thats going to look something like this
…hopefully. yah in that spirit lah. no imagery, or at least.. only the location map if that fits. basically ini perincian dari acara2 yg di schedule.
now this meant another few hours of extracting info from the web. plus i had to add the pages up cuz it needs to be kelipatan 4 kannn.. so to achieve that, i had to extract EVEN MORE info. in both languages. HAYAAAAHH.
mind you, the presentation is due wednesday which is if im not mistaken 4 days from now (saturday doesnt count. thats my sunday^^). untung nanti baru presentation ‘doang’. individually presented pula, so its not wasting time. everything in its whole due the week after. well the thing is.. next week identity design’s presentation is also due. OHMY now its the other way around, iv been neglecting that somewhat. HADOH. tolong tolong toloooooongggg… berikan saya kekuatan untuk terus bisa bergadang dan konsentrasi. juga pada smua teman2 yg rata2 berada pada posisi yang sama. EDANNNNNN..
twisting mr mayer’s words a bit..
my stupid idea has got me in trouble.. T_____T
one day i will read this again and laugh pitifully.
cuz by then the projects will most likely be even crazier!!! *___*
