Task 2 : Visual Analysis & Ideation
Visual analysis is a way to break down an artwork by looking at what’s there, how it’s designed, and what it means. It helps understand the artist’s choices and the message behind the piece.
Observation means closely looking at and identifying the visual elements of a design or art work
Analysis is done after doing observation where we could analyze how the artwork is made or what principles of design is used from an art or design work
Interpretation is done after doing observation and analysis where in this part, we discover the meaning behind the design
Selected Design/Artwork

fig.1.1. Dragon Hanako by AidaIro |

Analysis :
- Contrast : in her artwork, there is a contrast between the thick and thin line art where the area where more line will crash and create thicker line art to give shadows, there is also contrast in her choice of colors where she's never afraid to use very contrasting colors like red and blue.
- Proportion : Hanako-kun is drawn larger than the other characters so viewers will look at Hanako-kun first, then the other elements.
- Emphasis : being the only large character and posing diagonally gives the character emphasis where it draws attention to hanako first and then the other characters.

- Movement : the diagonal pose of hanako-kun, the other character pose, and the elements surrounding it, as well as the flowing hair and clothes gives the artwork movement and dynamic

some context about my character story "Undelivered
Letter"
its a story about a boy named Nathan in his last high
school year finally finding new meaning of friends, he
met friends that helped him go through hardships, and
his last high school year with them made him realize
how much they meant to him. because in the past he
used to have a best friend that left him, due to some
issues they lost contact (the title is undelivered
letter because they get in contact using letters) but
because they don't know what's wrong, his old friends
bullied him for the absence of his own best friend he
felt betrayed and never tried to get close to anyone
ever since. until his last high school year. when he
met his new friends, he starts to care about things,
make even better decision, etc.
