Reggae Infographic Board

3rd Sept 2015 ( week 2 )
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.

Reggae is type of music for relaxing yourself and kind the beach side feeling for myself. I really appreciate my teammate could be cooperated together to produced a pretty nice work in order to get the best of best in our presentation. Everyone have put in all the effort in single particular work.
