Exercise
Visual communication for architecture shows not just how and when a variety of visual communication abilities are required, but also how to translate field observations to a presentation paper. It assesses the designer's ability to help everyone understand what is depicted and the message behind it. In common practise, the right half of the human brain is associated with creativity, flexibility, looseness, risk-taking, and intuition, as opposed to the left side, which is more analytical, reasonable, and capable of comprehending facts. Because of this, society encourages us to utilise the left half of our brains; nevertheless, when a person is being creative, he uses both sides of the brain concurrently.

Favourite Place
In the first week of Semester 1, we were to draw one of our favourite place. I chose Japan as Japan is the best and the most enjoyable place i have ever been.
Exercise 2

Architectural Lettering
The exercise 3 introduced us with Architectural Lettering. We were to choose one of our favourite song and write its lyrics in architectural lettering. I chose Smile by Nate King Cole as this song reminds me to smile everyday and bring positive vibes to me.
