BANGKOK TRAVEL ILLUSTRATE BOOK PROJECT.: December 2012

Last day in Glasgow

Boxing Day was our last day in Glasgow. We found a restaurant from our travel book. This was really good; I can find some places and some restaurants that are very popular for travelers. This trip was so much fun and crazy too. I hope we can do this again on our next holiday.

Holiday in the north of the UK

After my last tutorial I went on vacation with my friends in the north of the UK: Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. We did not know about the way to go or information so we had to find out. It was an opportunity for me to think about my project. First day we went to Newcastle to saw the Millennium Bridge at night. It was so beautiful.

The second day we went to Edinburgh. We drove along the road and did something crazy. We did not know the way or where to go, we just opened the map and the guide book for finding some place that could be interesting. I had never done this before but I gained more experience than I could get at school or university. We celebrated Christmas together, that was fun and I was very happy

ALONG THE WAY TO EDINBURGH.

Background for my website

I found a site that allows me to easily create my own website I tried it and found the information about how to create the website by myself. Today I created the background that I will have on my homepage.

So, I have own website at the moment! So excited.

YOUNG ILLUSTRATION

Examples of Illustrations for young people

COLOUR PALETTE

This is the color palette; I tried to do it in two sections. But I found it is not interesting for young people. Today I met Peter who is the programme leader of Ma Graphic. He advised me to see more advertising or posters for young people because my work is too childish, and I actually agree with him.

The questionnaire

I have surveyed a questionnaire about my project. I want to know what my target audience wants to know when they travel. I would also like to know which method that they want to see such as mobile applications, websites, book, e-book, etc.

Tutorial 4

Today I had a tutorial with my supervisor. This is the last tutorial before Christmas. We discussed my project. I should focus on my audience. My audience is younger travelers so I have to cut some places out such as temples. I should develop a questionnaire asking my target audience what they want to know when they travel.

My supervisor suggested doing my project online. It will be nice if I can do it. My big problem is I have no skills. So, I found something very interesting. I found a website where I can create and design by myself. I am really glad. So, I will do my best with my travel book and website.

DUSIT ZOO

Today I tried to sketch some of Bangkok’s attractions.
The first one is Dusit zoo. I have drawn a map because I think it will useful for travelers. I designed a layout as well. I will show some Thai words about the zoo on this page such as the names of animals.

In the example, I put some Thai words about animals such as lions, elephants or birds. One more thing, I provided some short Thai phrases that foreign travelers can use to communicate with Thai people.

Loy Kratong festival

This is the second activity that I recommended foreign travelers if they are in Thailand during the month of November.

Last Wednesday was Loy Kratong day in Thailand. I was so sad that I could not join in the festival this year. On Loy Kratong day, Thai people always go to Loy Krathong with their family, friends, or lover (Loy is to float and Kratong is something made from banana leaf or bread). The festival is believed to apologize to Pra Mae Kong Ka who Thai people respect. People usually go to this festival with their family, friends or lover because they believed that they will walk together forever if they go to Loy Kratong in somebody's company.
