The big idea for the design


after research a few symbol of wisdom and smartness or metaphor to represent smart/intelligence. The result is, glass, owl, light bulb and many more.

source:- symbol of smart
 "The glasses evidently show "intelligence [that is] traceable to Piggy"(19) because of his adult-like appearance and his ability to rationalize and assess the conflicts on the island very thoroughly. Because of the reason and rationality symbolized by the specs, they portray the wearer as an adult; one who is intelligent, rational and sensible." quote from   http://www.123helpme.com/view.asp?id=9981


Study on the definition of Cubism

"In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context." quote from source:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubism

Hence, with limited time to change a new design for greater impact and impression. The previous website design changed from this (below):



into this.(image below)




this is just the begining execution of the whole idea.

Because of lacking time, I just immediately thought of the idea of using just one big wallpaper image and play around with cropping it into pages and moves around the big picture as part of the transition.

Precedent Studies on website designs

The samples of web design below are the previously design samples that I have studied on before getting into design. But due to my lack of experience and knowledge in web design. I have chose to do flash website as I am more familiar with flash , to be honest.

My initially plan of taking website design as my fyp was because I previously planned to have a friend to guide and teach me and also serve as a new challenge for me and to adapt a new skill. But due to time constraints and lost of art direction and also my friend was busy, I just end up working on flash website.

Concept Board & Precedent Studies
The initial design idea was just trying to do simplicity and modern and yet able to give the smartness presence on playing the simple shapes and designs.
As studies continue further after consultation with lecturers, we found that cubism art will be a good idea to not just simply use some simple shapes to represent smartness but something much deeper or iconic characteristic to represent smartness. The creator of cubism art is a genius and thus, the decision has been made to do Cubism designs but in a much cleaner or less traditional feel.
