Assignment 1A - Me, Myself and I

So we gotten the next assignment, which is to come up with a drawing that helps to describe yourself, which also includes your name.

We couldn't use Typography - which from what I understand, is using letters with different fonts and sizes, to design. I first had to come up with ideas for what "ME" essentially was... As you can see from the small scribbles at the top of the scan below. I decided to incorporate what I felt I was into my designs. Also, I was improving the initial ideas I came up with 1st.

So now I had 4 rough ideas of how to go with the drawings. Time to resketch them bigger. For the 3rd and 4th designs, I know my drawing of bodies is quite bad... X_X I initially found the ideas, especially the 3rd one, to be very interesting. However my lack of art skills can be seen quite obviously. If it was possible for us to submit a photograph, instead of a sketch, I would go with the 3rd design.

O yeah, I decided to use "Ray" instead of "Rayner" in the sketches. Can you see the letters? I hope so... x_x

Out of these 4 sketches, I decided to use the 1st one as the basis for the roughs. I felt it was suitable since it showed that I was more scientifically inclined, instead of artistically... Also, it shows my personality in it, with a messy, cluttered look to the background and the music player to the side.
This is the 1st rough I came up with, a slight copy of the original sketch. The perspective of the objects in the picture are quite off-marked... Especially the compass and the pencil on the right. I should take more time in getting my sizing correct. That weird curvy object below the CD player is a flexi-rule, used to help draw curves in graphs. This is the other design I came up with. Again, I think it's appropriate since I think it kind of shows the workspace I have at times. (No, My workspace is NOT as cluttered as the 1st design. Haha.) The weird triangular object on the right is actually a tri-coloured highlighter that I had in the past, which was quite fun to use. Again, I don't like the sizing of the objects relative to each other. Still can't get it right.

The 2 below are the slightly coloured versions of the designs. I don't know how to colour as well as those I see online. Anyone got any tips to improve?
