Assignment TWO: Just Another Day.

Design of a simple webpage.
Theme: Create a web based visual narrative of any simple daily/weekend activity/event.



For this assignment, i chose to spend one day at Far East Plaza.

Far East Plaza is unique in that it is a heartland-ish shopping center right smack in the middle of Orchard Road. Many youngsters go there to look for fashionable yet affordable apparels, and at the same time, some middle-aged people and even the elderly can be seen hanging around there. There is a special mix of retro and fashion; of the young and the old.

I wanted to capture this unique characteristic of Far East Plaza, and at the same time present a feel of a slow-paced day. Just randomly walking around this building, taking photos of small, usually unnoticed things.

Because of the assignment requirement, that the whole webpage cannot be bigger than 180kb, i had to look for simple objects, with fewer colors and lesser details. It was quite difficult cuz i am attracted by bright colors and fine details.


Here are the photos.


Welcome. As an introduction.



In his own world.
This boy was seen playing his hand-held game alone on a short ladder while his mum is busy shopping.



Directory.

The price tag of a tee-shirt.



Pretty chandelier.



Lunch break.



"This shop is for customers only. Non-customers are not allowed to sit here."



Toto? Or is it 4-D? I don't gamble.



Tattoo. There are quite a few tattoo services there.



SALE.



Escalator downwards. As a closure/ending.



Feedback: The class didn't get the second photo until i explained. I guess that photo needs some explanation. One suggestion was the walking photo would be better if the floor was in greater contrast to my shoes. Yea, i can work on that. :)


Tadah. So you've seen my photos.
Any comments?
Pls do feedback ya?
:)
