01/06/2022 - 29/06/2022 (Week 10 - Week 14) WONG JUN ZHE / 0353613 Typography / B' Creative Media / Taylor's University Task 3B - Type Design and Communication (Sticker Design) LECTURES Mr Vinod gave his feedback on our sticker designs.  INSTRUCTIONS MIB:  Task 3B - Type Design & Communication (Sticker Making) 1. Idea development and sketches Festival chosen: Happy Chinese New Year The reason I chose this festival is simple. We are limited to use only shades of red, black, and white in our design, which suits perfectly to the Chinese New Year theme. Besides, I am also familiar with the festival myself and know what graphical elements I can use (e.g. lanterns, Chinese calligraphy, firecrackers, Chinese temples, etc.  First of all, I sketched out five designs that in some way relate to Chinese new year. Each of the design carries a different element of Chinese New Year.
