My ThoughtI sank into the blue sea, surrounded by surging waves and marine life. The sound of water and bubbles rising slowly echoed in my mind like a whisper from the deep sea. At this moment, I was surrounded by nature and silence. My body gradually merged with the sea water, and I felt a peace and connection beyond language. This is not only a physical immersion, but also a homing of the soul.

I also used the remaining materials to create another style of product.

Theme: City Inspiration: Beauty - The Scenery of Hometown
Category: Magic Lock Screen (Square & Vertical poster only)
Title: The Golden Hour 
Summary of your design concept:
In my hometown—-Pontian, Johor, I could always see the most beautiful sunsets. But now, I find myself far away, caught in the hustle and bustle of the city. That’s why I want to blend the city, my hometown, and the sunset—to create a golden moment that belongs to us.

THE PHOTOS WHICH I WANT TO USE
These are photos I captured in my hometown.

FINAL POSTER

Fig. 3.5 - My Final Poster

TITLE: The Golden Hour in Johor
SUMMARY:
I used the fusion of the sunset photos in Johor‘s city and the seaside to bring out the golden moment I wanted to express. The girl in the picture is the main subject, forming a sharp contrast with the city behind her, reflecting my emotional tug-of-war between the city and the countryside.

"Even when I’m far, I carry the sunset of home in my soul."in this picture is a portrayal of my inner heart. No matter where I am, the sunset of my hometown is always burning in my heart.

I hope that when viewers appreciate this work, they can also feel the warmth of home and the warm and eternal sunset in everyone's heart.

Reflections

DOUBLE EXPOSURE
Double Exposure is a novel and interesting way of creation. It can add story and artistic sense to ordinary photos, making the picture more varied and layered. This creative technique can fully convey the creator's emotions and ideas, giving the work a deeper connotation.

For me, this assignment was both enjoyable and has a high degree of freedom, allowing me to give full play to my creativity. I really enjoyed the whole creative process and gained a lot of inspiration and fun from it.


POSTER DESIGN
For this assignment, I primarily used double exposure combined with collage techniques to create my composition. Compared to previous exercises, this task was much more challenging—especially when it came to seamlessly blending elements like landscapes and human figures into a unified and visually impactful image.

To achieve a more refined result, I referred to many different poster designs, drawing inspiration from their composition, color schemes, and layering techniques. Each adjustment and revision became a new experiment—at times even requiring me to completely abandon the original idea and start from scratch.

Through repeated trials and continuous fine-tuning, I gradually found a visual approach that suited my style and eventually completed a piece I was genuinely satisfied with. This process not only improved my technical skills, but also taught me how to observe, analyze, and integrate visual elements more thoughtfully—giving me greater confidence to take on more diverse design challenges in the future.
