In this task, we are required to create a rhythm wall in order to visualize the music to the movement. The keywords of reggae are relax, chill, release and kind of beach feeling.My wall was following the size that has fixed which is 2400mm x 2400mm x 300mm. So, I have decided to create the wavy movement with the material of felt paper. Felt paper created smooth surface as related to reggae with the smooth beat that never ever change the 4/4 times to another time beat. The waves represents feeling of reggae and bring out the entire movement. I was focusing on the newer style of reggae contains the remix as Hip Hop, EDM, Rocks and others. The difference thickness of felt paper represents the remix of reggae fusion while all the wavy intersected together with different type of thickness would be symbolize the reggae music has sink in to the people mind and heart. Moreover, the swirl express the evolution from old to newer style reggae. The tagline 'FALL IN FLOW' means follow the wavy lines that you would enjoy to the activity that fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus. The function of my rhythm wall could be displayed little things.

Assignment 1.1

After a long holiday, we are started to the first class of interior design project 1 in semester 2. Ms. Norji and Ms. Sha told us the whole project is related to the genre music and once you got the title would be stick with it so we had lucky draw to be divided the group in fate. I got a title about REGGAE genre music which are same group with Alex Teh, Pei San, Aizat and Sheela Wong. Unfortunately, Sheela was transferred to another university after a few days.

We have totally no idea about reggae genre music and don't even understand the word of reggae. I felt very shame about myself that knowledge not wide enough. Then, we did some research together regarding to reggae genre music and we got an information about Bob Marley was the creator of reggae music. There have transition from earlier to urban reggae and others. We must visualize all the reggae music information, essence, mood, characteristic into infographic with 3D feeling.

In the first tutorial class, we had some ideas to hang the information on the board and spin it. But it was refused by Ms.Sha. She said that wasn't related to our project and didn't have any meaning towards it.

However, we were decided to using a plywood to make our infographic presentation board. Red, yellow and green are theme colour of reggae whenever you seen anything related to reggae that were using this colours. We used archylic to paint it and applied Bob Marley's face with the material of ropes to sticks to electric wires appeared the technique of sillhouette. It was represent the transition of earlier to urban reggae. Mostly the reggae related to the loves, peace and politic so we did a peace sign with weed on the board to visualize all in it.

In the newer style of reggae fusion, it was mixture in other genre type of music or dancehall such as jazz, hip hop, pop and others.
