My First Attempt In Designing 2D Graphics

For those who don’t know me, shame on you!! I’m currently taking my degree in Computer Science. One of the subjects that I’m taking this semester is “Pengaturcaraan Grafik” which is “Graphic Programming” in English.

So the 1st day of class, my lecturer taught us how to create 2D rectangle, roundRectangle, Ellipse and etc. At the end of that class, she gave us an assignment that was to create our own 2D graphic. The 1st idea that I had was to create a Tag Heuer watch.

But then I gave up on creating it because it’s  too complicated. So, my 2nd and final idea was to create a design based on my own handphone, Nokia 6120 Classic.

Before creating the 2D version of this handphone, I planned to draw the skeleton of the handphone on a piece of graph paper to make my coding process much easier. By doing so, the process of setting the measurements and the coordinates would be much easier.

But then I realised something - I can enable Gridlines in Microsoft Paint. So I didn’t redraw it on the graph paper, but I used the gridlines in Microsoft Paint as a guide for me.

To make my life easier, I’ve included many colourful dots on the picture as a guide for me to set the coordinates and sizes for every shapes. Firstly, I wrote all the codings for all the shapes that was on the handphone.

I’ve to admit that this process was a challenging one for me because I’m still a noob beginner at graphic programming. So forgive me, yeah. After that process, I started to fill in all the shapes with the colours that look almost the same as the original one.

The final process was to add all the numberings on the key pad.

If you are observant enough, by now you would probably realised that I’ve made a small tweak on the design of the Front Camera. Haha..

So basically that’s all for my 1st graphic assignment. I can’t wait for the next one because this subject is quite interesting for me.
