week 1 assignment-Monument sign

The first assignment given to us is to design a monument sign for any building in cyberjaya or putrajaya area.

Monument sign is ( a freestanding sign that stands directly on the ground or ground level foundation. A monument sign is often used to mark a place of significance or the entrance to a location.)-the definition is taken from www.signsystemsnc.com/sign-terminology.html

The following are some of the example found on internet and i also ued in for my research purpose.



love the vertical typo arrangement and the logo 8M.Overall design......hrm,i would say it is pretty outstanding, people who walk by can easily recognize it.

Adding texture makes the word pop up.The design of the sign is sleek and simple.


The monument looks very grand with sophisticated design.


This sign is very appealing even when you look from afar due to the colorful solid color used.

Clever design with the arrow pointing concept.



OKAY,..AFTER THE RESEARCH, IT'S TIME FOR THE PROGRESS.....

Yup,so me and my friend sort of planned for a short field trip to take photo around putrajaya area.It was a really sunny day, we have to take the photo under the hot sun,this make our jobs harder.To make things even harder, there is actually not much building that is suitable for us to take picture because most of them are government offices or buildings which are usually boring and dull.

After taking the photos,I showed it to the lecturer during the consultation.I asked him whether i can take photo from other places because of the limited choices.He said"ya,sure,of course,we set the location around Putrajaya or Cyberjaya for u guys are for your own convenience."I am so delighted to hear that,so i made up my mind and decided to take the photo of the newly open Empire Gallery Shopping Mall at Subang Jaya.

I took this photo after i went back to my home during the weekend and used it for final.
