Project 1b : Rhythm wall about Hiphop music ( Individual assignment )

After the first group assignment , I was given another part of the project 1 , rhythm wall. For the wall, we have to design it with expression of hiphop music and add in the tagline ( keyword ). For my rhythm wall, i use the spilt water pattern to cut out with building on it. Also, i choose to use " Wrath of Menace "as my keyword for the rhythm wall . 

The word " Wrath of menace " is actually come from a gangster rap style song, hit'em up by 2Pac.The lyrics in "Hit 'Em Up" were aimed primarily at Biggie and Puffy.Tupac Shakur viciously insults Biggie throughout, the first line by Tupac Shakur is "That's why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker", and threatens retaliation in "Hit 'Em Up", saying "Now you're about to feel the wrath of a menace." He also used the song as a platform to express his belief that Biggie was guilty of stealing his style of rapping, and was merely imitating his lifestyle.

Wrath of menace actually bring out the writer's strong emotions and express to the public. Crime is illegal, but singing a song to release a feeling or emotion is freedom of people. In that time, most of the hiphop people cares a lot about brotherhood and living environment. When they felt unfair beyond on something, they can only express it in their song, their lyrics. Anger, violence, unfair , political and sociality problem.

Thus, wrath of menace means an anger's anger, much more anger than they show in their face but deeper and more in their heart. 

The water spilt represent the significant sign of Hiphop, grafiti and the buildings represent that Hiphop is never going to tear apart with social and city. The flowing water spilt express more of the emotion. 

The whole wall describe how hiphop blend into the city, how unseparated are among city(social) and hiphop.

That's all, Thank you......

Project 1 : Infographic Board about Hiphop music ( Group assignment )

As the first week since I am back from a short holiday, first assignment did stressed me out. I never thought that I will have my first assignment in my first class of degree semester 2. For this particular assignment, we've been asked to form a group by choosing several types of music and together to produce a infographic board. I was group with Nadia, Celine , Chloe and Zhi Ying and we are all in Hip Hop group. First of all, all these people were those that I am not familiar with except for Celine. I was worried to have discussion with all of them because they seems smart, talent and have plenty of ideas to share.

During my first discussion in class, I was so quiet . For me, ideas doesn't come out in the moment that we knew what we have to do. I am that kind of person who need times to think and plan. When I saw my group members are so active on giving ideas , I was freaked out. Towards the end, I kept silent and barely spoke a word. I felt bad for not really participated in the discussion.

During our next discussion, I started to gather around my ideas and share with my group members. We shared and discussed and decided and planned together. Each of us in charge of different category .Finally, we've came out with a brilliant idea. Everyone were participating in. We did some research and ideas sketching and we planned to lecturer in tutorial class. 

After we met Miss Sharmila for tutorial, we rearranged our plan and finalized the idea. Everyone was separated in different part of doing the infographic board. Background, famous people, dance style and so on. We worked quite happy and peace together. Not much " drama " happened in our group.

During the process, we found some minor problem and fixed it together. Our expectation to each other were very high, so we would always gave advise to each other to improve our work in a better way. The best thing in my group is they never really complained about the changes of ideas or design or drawing....Thus, I like to work with them all. 

Thats all , Thank you.......
