1.3  Artwork from Pinterest
Description:
When I first saw this poster, I was impressed with the illustration which was able to capture the old style of Japanese illustration.


This poster expressed:
The usage of the red moon with the white background at the back incorporates the Japanese flag.The usage of the bamboo plant tells the viewer that the poster relates to Japan as the folklore about the princess bamboo.The opacity being manipulated in order to create layering on the bamboo.



1.4 Artwork from Pinterest
Description:
When I saw this poster, I was impressed by the overall compilation of different elements yet having the same meaning to the poster. The composition of the elements is somewhat mesmerizing with all the different elements.


The poster expressed:
The asymmetrical and symmetrical arrangement used in the poster in terms of the composition compliments the background well while telling us the Vietnamese region. The collage method used in the poster making compliments the arrangement well. The poster is made for Viet Nguyen Design.



1.5 Artwork from Pinterest


Description: 
When I saw this poster, I was reminded when I was a little child playing around enjoying life. I was impressed by the combination of illustrations and photography method that was used to produce this masterpiece.


This poster expressed:
This illustration is for a magazine most likely something related to childhood plays. The vintage style color palette used in the illustration compliments the overall setting of the image. The overall concept is about bringing back the nostalgic memories of the past. It shows that the main subject (girl) is looking back at her past.



Reflection
It was fun getting introduced to this class. This task enables us to view what and how the person behind it sees the art. From looking at the posters, I was able to see a story to it. From that, I learnt that everything has a story behind it.
