Project 3: Visual Design
1. Sketches
As the theme will be a family theme, we have allocated each person a role in a family. The family members will be father, mother, eldest daughter, second daughter, third daughter and youngest sister, and each of the member represent different meaning. When the family members come together, their distinct face paint designs will blend harmoniously, symbolizing the unique qualities and contributions of each individual within the family unit.

FEEDBACK
Mr. Charles gave us feedback on our entire idea for this topic, expressing how interesting and inspiring it is to him. He thinks that physically painting out the face paint is a fantastic idea and suggests that we have our own booth on campus or walk around Sunway Pyramid. He is genuinely pleased with our work, and I sincerely appreciate his compliments.
REFLECTIONS
This experience has been a journey full of surprises and growth for me. At first, when we decided to work on face paint for our project, I didn't think much of it. But as we went along, I realized how much depth and fun it could bring. Painting our faces and seeing people's reactions was exciting. This project helped me understand different cultures better, especially the significance of face paint in Mexican culture.
Moreover, this project taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork and collaboration. Working closely with my teammates, I learned the importance of communication, task allocation, and mutual support. Each member brought their unique strengths to the table, and together, we were able to achieve more than I ever thought possible.
Furthermore, this project sparked my curiosity about different cultures and design traditions. Exploring the diverse elements of face paint from around the world opened my eyes to the richness of human expression and creativity. It made me realize the importance of incorporating cultural nuances into our work to create something truly meaningful and inclusive.
Throughout this journey, our lecturer, Mr. Charles, was a constant source of guidance and support. His expertise and encouragement helped us navigate the challenges and celebrate the successes along the way.
In conclusion, this project has been a transformative experience for me. It has taught me the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone, embracing new ideas, and working collaboratively towards a shared goal. I am grateful for the lessons learned, the memories made, and the friendships formed along the way.
