DRAWING A - INVISIBLE CITIES
"FOR US, HOME ISN'T A PLACE, IT IS A PERSON, AND WE ARE FINALLY HOME."
DRAWING A1 PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL
Laszlo Moholy-Nagy,Light Play-Black White Grey,1930.
DRAWING A2 TESTING COLLAGES
I used black and red as the main colors for the entire picture. Black represents the depression of the city, and red represents the danger of the city. In the surrounding mountains, I used a sharp triangle to indicate the danger of tingling. The hemp rope highlights the characteristics of the city's suspension. At the same time, the broken hemp rope, people shouting and the city falling are all conveying an panic atmosphere.
DRAWING A3 INDIVIDUAL COLLAGES
First of all, I choose the face of a monkey rather than the face of a human to express the instability of the city, because monkeys are good at climbing and naturally live in trees. However, the current state of the city, as an animal living in high places, also feels very scared, which indicates the high altitude of the city.At the same time, because of the vulnerability of the city, the monkey's expression is panic and fear, afraid of losing their homes. I put the red triangle on the monkey's eyes to show the danger of living in the city. The monkey may cry for the lost family or home. The next big red triangle in the back shows the entire home at risk. There is a man falling under the big triangle, and the red triangle under him is also proof of his death. The black circle indicates the depth of the cliff, from which the man's fall is fatal. To the left of the monkey is a transition of blue to black, indicating that darkness is gradually coming, and the city is gradually enveloped by darkness and then destroyed. I used bags to represent the architectural features, and the houses hung like bags on spiderweb ropes. The bags are hung on a green rope, which symbolizes life and hope. And the silver wire is the urban structure, like a spider's web covering the monkey's face, also covers the whole city. The iron wire is always cold, just like the death brought by the instability of this spiderweb structure. The gradual black line does not slow the full face of the monkey, which symbolizes destroy of the city.
FALLING MONKEY SAYS, WE ARE GOOD AT CLIMBINGďźŒ BUT EVERYTHING BEGINS FALLING WE ARE LOSING OUR HOME.
First of all, in this picture, I chose the pole dancer DANCING as the protagonist to represent the urban architectural structure. Like the EVEN LOST HOME, movements of this dancer, the WE whole city OUR is literally suspended over the abyss. DON'T GIVE UP, to show that the atmosphere The whole drawing is black and white, I want of life is very depressed, uneasy.The blackSUN, part on the left is one of the WHERE IS THE hills used to lift the city. AtTAHT the same time, the bag at the back also shows IS THE HOPE, the appearance of theIS city. There is a bucket, rope ladder and other daily A HOME FOR OUR DANCE. necessities hanging on it, as described in the original text. The rope behind was woven like a spider's web.
HOME LIVING IN A UNSTATABLE PLACE, BUT WE CALLED IT HOME, HOME SWEET HOME, COLORFUL AND WARM.
This is a concrete representation of the connection between the house and the house, which is like a giant spider web empire. What inspires me is that it's like a messy telephone pole. The black part on the left is the pole that holds up the city. I'm using hemp rope here as the material for the spider's web, because it's also mentioned in the text that people cling to the hempen strands so it as the main protection tool. I added yellow and orange patches to the various houses where they gathered, just like the color of the sunshine, vibrant and full of hope for life. Even though people know that living in this city is full of danger and the risk of losing their homes, they still choose to live there. These two colors also express their optimism about life.

This mountain is the most important information, because this is where my spacecraft crashed, so I used a red grid to mark the crash area.

Because the change of light and shadow is particularly important for my client, this involves her life safety, so I put it in my poster.
As the information given by ARC1001, this field can be found strange, bulbous trees on the plain below-a scattering of fine, bibrous yellowed grasses.
In order to maintain the unity of colors, I adjusted the grayscale of the picture.The order of the pictures in my poster is actually a timeline. According to the chronological order of the visual field during landing. I used the finial visition of my smashing capsule and turn the site plan into that shape which hightlight the shape of my crashed capsule again.

This vertical structure is a rational expression of the crash of the spacecraft.
I put the grid as a medium of reference size, and at the same time make the picture more tidy.
Precedent 2
The amazing idea comes from James Corner, he is not using an regular rectangle shape to demonstrate the site plan.It gives people an new and interesting view. Also, he used different shades of color to indicate altitude.
This picture shows a good way to use the grid. Putting the picture into the measured grid not only shows the size, but also the picture becomes more neat and logical.
Site Section
It is an interesting way to draw the site section like this way. Using the lineway instead the accurate texture to show the different hight of this field. However, after testing, it is not a suitable way to draw in my section.
It shows the accurate position of crashing on the map and also shows the relationship between the land and the capsule.

VISUAL DIARY
THE LEFT ONE IS MY FIRST VERSION OF MY COVER. I WANTED TO CREATE A SENSE OF AGE, AND PRESENT THIS ISSUE HAPPENED IN THE PAST. SO I CHOSE TO USE "MOVIE LENSE" TO EXPRESS MY CONCEPT. ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS CLEAR AND UNIQUE, NO HIGHLIGHTING POINT IS THE REASON I CHOSE TO DEVELOP FURTHER. IN THE LAST VERSION, I USED BIG LETTERS AND RED COLOUR TO MAKE THE THEME MORE CLEAR.
"LOST"
"HOME"
"HOPE"

THIS IS THE COMPLETE PROCESS OF THE CHANGING PHASES OF THE MOON. THIS ALSO REPRESENTS FROM SOMETHING TO NOTHING, AND THEN FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING. HOPE IS ALWAYS THERE. AND THE COLOR CHANGING INSPIRED ME A LOT. WHEN THE MOON IS FULL, IT'S A BRIGHT COLOR, SO I USED RED TO EXPRESS HOPE.
