We are required to decide on a theme for the alternative outfit. I chose Chinese New Year as it is a grand festival in China. Liyue's prototype is China.

I took the dragon scale scroll and the painting ' Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers' as my reference.

FEEDBACK

Week 6: For the alternative outfit, it is ok to use another silhouette.

REFLECTION

In this task, I collected a large amount of materials and references to improve and enrich my design. I searched for traditional Chinese patterns and various types of cloud collars and applied them to the character's clothing design, making the attire of Danqing look less monotonous. Through the use of contrasting colors, I successfully made my character more prominent and eye-catching.

I have gained an understanding of how to analyze others' works, comprehend design concepts, and implement the knowledge gained in my own creations.  I enjoy the process of creation, exploring different mediums and techniques to express my ideas, which I find immensely enjoyable. Experimenting with various design methods leaves me feeling fulfilled and happy. However, compared to the hands-on aspect of creating designs, I find the theoretical aspects of design, such as learning design principles, somewhat dull and obscure. Although these theoretical aspects are important, they can
