Less is More, More is Less

What is the meaning of Less is More?
It often used on design, it means a design keep simple, clean and tidy is enough.
A design do not need to be have so many content,
It will only look messy in the end.
When a design is simple, clean and tidy,
It gave a comfort appearance for the audience.
Being simple not just being simplicity, is a simple design that could bring
many meanings.
A good design always content many meaning but simple in design.
Well, for an example just like my blog design...
The background has many books, it looks messy and
do not have space for the audience.
My brother first impression for my blog is " It is messy".
So, it does make people feel messy when things is more.

And so, what is the meaning of More is Less?
More is Less, meaning there is something are in a large quantity but there is still consider as less.
Just like money, the more money a people have, still a people feel less the money they have.
Haha..this is not the good example anyway.
But for design, More is always more, it will make a design messy, but sometimes more is still
not enough. It depends on the situation.
But it apply on a principle of design. The more content of a design always is less.
The more content a design have the more better the design.
When a Design has more content and meanings but simple, it is considered a rgeat design.

Well, that is all I know about Less is More, More is Less.

The Last Week

This is the last week of this trimester, week 14.
This week is the submission for our last assignment.
After I and my teammate prepared, we went to the classroom and ready for submission.
Oh well, we have lack some some file inside the CD ._.
But the most surprising thing is,
there is no people when we reach to the classroom...
Oh my god... well, i think they may appear themselves later.
So, we quickly do some repair like the title name that has forgotten to type it in the picture,
the name of us, and the CD content.
After done all the repairs, we submit the work to Mr. Zul
Mr. Zul was funny today, doesn't like the previous submission.

Le Modulor

Le Modulor is developed by Le Corbusier.
Le Modulor is a system of measurements which became known as "Modulor", It based on the Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical dimensions of the average human.

The Le Modulor was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial system and the Metric system. It is based on the height of an english man with his arm raised. Below showing two different system.

Imperial System

Form follow Function, Function Follow Forms.

What is Form follow Function?
For myself, I think it means that the form of an object is followed the function of its.
Just like Keyboard is design for pressing, so the keyboard have many keys on its.
The car's tyres is designed for rolling, so it is round.
The pencil is for holding and write, so it is cylinder and long shape to easy the user to use.

So, what about Function follow forms?
Function follow forms is like the function is depend on the forms of the objects.
Like the door knob, there is different type of door knob design.
But their main usage is to open a door, even their shape are different.
Example like the door knob is round, we will rotate it to open the door.
but when the shape is changed to handle, we will hold the handle and push down to open the door.
below are the example of the door knobs.

Cheras Leisure Mall has 2 comic shop.
One of the shop has many comic character model and poster decorated.
The shop is look very messy, but it looks like the shop
has many books i can find inside.
But when I went in, there is no books that I wanted to buy
inside the shop, totally disappointed.
But there is still many customer come to this shop,
may be the decoration was attractive.
The another comic shop, it looks very simple,
only a few model and poster decorated on the door side.
But inside the shop, there is many many books and comics.
I finally found the comic I want inside this shop.
I was very happy, hehe...
After bought the comic, we went shopping a while.

After the shopping, we went back by bus.

This is the week 7 of this trimester.
This week, Environment Deisng class just open for consultation.
It is nothing special today,
I have my consultation with MR. Zul and went back for printing and start my
Bus stop model work.

This is the Eleventh post since i joined Environment Deisgn class.

The Sixth Week

This is the sixth week in this trimester.
The material to make our bus stop model is finally reached.
I had bought the material that needed for the bus stop model.
Before the material reached, me and my friend had bought a cardboard from Mr. Zul.
We quickly trace the container box, and cut it out.
This is because mr. Zul only have a few container box sample for us to trace,
so, me and my friend decided to do it earlier before others do it.
So, the container box is done earlier than others, it is a bit not good but
it is still can be use to contain the bus stop model.
So, it is fine for me =_=

After that, when the material is reached, everybody started to lend the trace sample
and pass around, very messy during the working time.
And I had already done the container box model, I am free, haha...
But there is still have people want to be fast, so I lend them my model for them to trace,
sigh...I have to wait them done tracing only I can stick the box...

After they return back my model,
I leave the classroom, since Mr. Zul has allowed me to leave.

After the class, I straightaway went back to my house and sleep.

This is the tenth post since i join Environment Design class.

After the class end, I went back to home.

This week nothing special occurs.

This is the ninth post since i joined Environment Design class.

The Bored Week.

This week is totally bored!!
There is nothing fun to do and my father have to outstation,
so, I can't go back home... I miss my friend Kuro so much.
He is going to have STPM soon, wish him can score better on it.

Well, unfortunately, my mouse spoiled...
How dare you spoiled at this time!! I have to buy a new mouse again.
Mouse is a very important tool for me,
without it I can't do many thing...Luckily my roommate Dominic have a spare mouse.
Thank him so much.

But I can't keep using people's thing, so I decide to buy a new mouse.
So, I went to the computer shop which locate in MMU center food court.
The shop is look very deep silent, well do anybody been here before?
And I went in with my friend and start searching for mouse.

Inside the shop, well, you can say that it has a lot different accessories.
But the most important thing is today I came for a mouse.
And the selection for mouse was just a few!?
Oh gosh... that day I saw he open the store at the center plaza was giving a lot of better choice.
But why now only those expansive and some low quality mouse?
And there is NO the blue color mouse I want.

Aww... this shop is a bit make me disappointed.
I didn't judge his cover but his content was also just so so.
The shop hang those bags and put the box blocked the view inside the shop.
That's why it doesn't look attract attention.
and the arrangement in the shop aren't right, he left too much space right infront of the door.
The only way to look inside the shop.
And it totally look and feel a bit empty from outside.
This shop should has some improvement.

In the final, I didn't buy any mouse and went back home.

This is the Eighth post since I join Environment Design class.

The Forth Week

Now already came to the Forth week in this trimester.
I still have a lot assignment haven't start yet.
How lazy am I, hahahaha...

Today's Environment Design class, after Mr. Zul gave us the lecture,
He confirm with us the brand and product we chose for the project.
After that, he give a brief on the designing process of the bus stop project.
Then, he taught us how to cut the material in proper way.

Mr. Zul's cutting skill was very skillful, the first time i saw a person can cut a material so fast
without any hesitation. But the funniest part is, when he keeping those cutter pieces
into a container. I and my friend think that may be he keep for some purpose,
like shuriken for killing people. Mr. Zul must be very skillful on throwing knife too.
Hahaha...

Well, after the class, I went for the Hailam Kopitiam restaurant with friends to have our lunch.
The Hailam Kopitiam just like always, very full in the afternoon.
After the lunch, I didn't went for the next class but follow my friend to
Bank Simpanan Negara, because they wanted to buy something for MUET exam.

In the way to BSN, I saw the canteen that sells food at roadside.
This remind me the day I go there with my friend.
The place was totally awful because it was dirty and dark.
But there is still many people going there for lunch, because there's food is delicious.
Sometimes, a bad environment could not effects a good quality product.

After that, we went back home and I take a nap.

Grand Mother's Birthday.

This week's Saturday is a celebration of my Grand Mother's 71th Birthday.
The previous day, before the day of celebration,
My father took me home from Cyberjaya.
My home was full of customer and my relatives.

Actually it is normal that my home was always full of friends and relatives,
But this time is way lively and noisy than usual.
Because the relatives from other state also coming to celebrate too.
I'm the camera man that day. Because only me have a DSLR ya?
Hahaha...

The place we going to celebrate the birthday is at Hee Lai Ton Restaurant which is located at Serdang.
On that day, there is many couples of new married people are celebrating at there.
The place is beautiful and the workers there are very nice too.
They will automatic serve you your food and drinks.
Here is some picture I took from that day.

This environment of the restaurant was very nice to have dinner, the light is dim but romantic.
All the picture I took the light source is originally from the environment.
Isn't it look nice? I would like to have this kind of environment in my study room.
It would give me mood on imagination and idea.
Well, I admit this mood is a bit moody light, haha.

Well when a same situation change to different purpose, it works well.
Just like the Secret Recipe shop last time, the shop is dark and dim light
but not nice when having cake there.
But when the environment change to another purpose, for dinner, it works very well.
The celebration dinner is such a succeed celebration.
Everybody was happy on that night.
But also a very painful night, because thwy drank a lot of beer.
Take care of body and do not drink too much beer, it will harm your health.
Luckily I am not drinking beer, may be influenced by my mother? Alright.

The Third Week

This is the Third week.
The time passed so fast, already week 3 this week.
There is still many assignment I haven't touched yet that lecturer's have gave.
But I am tired back from Kuala Selangor trip.
The trip is quite fun and good for me, I did learn many thing from the trip.
The important part is I am facing my own problem that I haven't let it down.

In the trip we have went into forest, river cruise and watch the firefly.
The Firefly is the most memorable moment I have, the first time I saw the most wonderful yet flaw's creature.
Firefly are beautiful, but their live is short and they are fragile.
In this trip I had learn that we have to protect those animal who need to be protected.
They have their wonderful side if we go for further exploring on them.
But I admit it is a very tired trip after all.
After the trip, almost all Media Innovation student are collapse. Can't help it,
they are a fragile animal too right?
Here is some Picture I took from the trip.

This week, Mr. Zul also giving us some lecture too.
And we start discussing about the brand we have to choose to advertise and design on the bus stop since last week. It must be a Malaysia Brand Product.
I think over and over, but still can't think a Malaysia brand product. Luckily there is my friends,
Tracy and Denyi help me to confirm the product.
Finally, I chose the Goodday as my brand. I am going to advertise their milk product.

After all the class, I went back room and hearing music again.

This is the Fifth post since I join the Environment Design Class.

The Deepavali Holiday

Today is Deepavali Holiday, everyone since very free today.
But I am feel not right by myself, I feel wanted to go outside and shopping!
I need a new headset because the old one is spoiled, but it had been with me a quite long time.
Rest In Pieces, my old headset.

And so, I went to shopping by myself.
The destination today is The Mines Shopping Mall !!
Hahaha, this is the most biggest shopping that near my hometown. It takes about 15 minute for me to reach there by bus. Hmm... the bus fee is still the same after a long time I didn't take a bus.
Before getting bus, I had went to a bus stop near my home.
The Bus stop was getting renewed, now it looks beautiful, neat and clean than before.
But there is no any advertisement on the bus stop. I wonder if I had design the bus stop,
will mr. Zul help me to renew the bus stop outside my home?
Hahaha...

After a few minutes, a bus came. I ride on the bus and go to The Mines Shopping Mall.
The Mines Shopping Mall is huge and many shops.
I had walked around the shops and buy the headset.
From what the Information Kiosk stated, the 3rd floor which is the highest floor is the computer accessories shop and electronic accessories floor. So, I went up and buy my new headset.

After I bought what I want and wander around, I found myself infront of the Secret Recipe cake shop.
The Secret Recipe cake shop here was totally different than the one at Jusco Cheras Selatan.
Here has a lot of customer come and having the cake here, but the shop in Jusco Cheras Selatan can be count with finger. Look closely, we can see many differences between two shop.
The Design is almost same, but because the shop in The Mines Shopping Mall are at outer part.
So, the shop is brighter and look nicer. In the other hand, Jusco Cheras Selatan's shop is darker and feel uncomfortable. Well, the different environment was giving different feeling too.
Besides, The Mines Shopping Mall's Secret Recipe shop workers are friendly than Jusco one.

After buying a secret recipe cake, I went to bus stop and take a taxi. I take the taxi because the day is going dark and raining, and that cost me about RM 15. I can't believe this !!
Well, I have no choice, after go back, i try my new headset and start hearing music.
