Abstraction

Assignment 2 - Degree of Abstraction

After the generous feedback from class, I conclude that my abstraction wasn't really a "true" abstraction. I think it's because my original picture wasn't very clear especially the details of the train and the people on it. I could see the outline of the train but it wasn't good enough. Siti also said that my 5th picture should be the last abstraction (the one with one line and a long rectangle) because it looks pretty abstract, so I need to add another layer of abstraction somewhere in between pictures 1-4.

My initial plan was to use the 4th picture for my business card and I had another version for it. But the class still prefer the original one which is (A).

(A)

(B)

So this is my revised business card. I cropped the roller coaster image and added details of my name, designation, contact number and email. The very small words on the bottom right is "Legendary Themepark Copyright 1988" and the website's address.

I think I still need to refine this assignment and I will post it up as soon as I'm done with it. So please bear with me for a while longer, this isn't the final!
