Here is the sketching and wireframe














What is the relation between hipster and design?

here link for my reference : https://medium.com/thoughts-on-creativity/ffa4ffe9d7b

A psychologist has ever done her research on hipster people. She said that hipster people is full of creativity and very innovative, therefore hipster people is very suitable to creative industry. She said that graphic designer is most suitable job for hipsters, followed by interior designer and fashion designer. Hipster related to arts and beauty.

In graphic design world, there is also hipster logo design, it has specific style for it. Here is the sample of hipster design.





Research on Hipster

As references, I used this site :

http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Hipster


Dress like a hipster. Fashion is just as important as your taste in music. While shopping at vintage stores remains a staple for many hipsters, this is not a given, nor does it need to be a part of the hipster wardrobe.
  • Know the labels. Several labels cater to the hipster scene; the more well-known include American Apparel, Vans, Brandy Melville, Pacsun, Free People, and Urban Outfitters.
  • Avoid buying labeled gear from stores run by the label itself (so very not nice consumerism). Instead, look for independent retailers because supporting obscure retailers is "totally deck". For example, buy from local mixed fashion stores near you.
Wear skinny jeans. These can be for anyone of any gender identity. Hipster men tend to be as skinny as the women.
  • Note that guy hipsters actually probably wear skinny jeans more than the girls (girls prefer leggings)
  • Alternatively, for women, high-waisted pants (a.k.a. "mom jeans") may also be worn.
Wear glasses. Hipsters love ironic eyewear such as shuttershades, oversized plastic framed glasses, Buddy Holly glasses, and most commonly authentic Ray Ban Wayfarers in all the colors of the rainbow.
  • Some hipsters wear eyeglasses even though they have 20/20 vision! In this case, pop out the lenses or make sure they're just regular glass.
Dress vintage. Dresses are good for women, preferably vintage floral or lace. Granny's closet is definitely a good source; however, you should know how to sew and restyle vintage clothing to fit you.

Accessorize. There is a wide range of accessories, including large flower headbands, neon nail polish, pins, bright belts, black nailpolish, bird necklaces, patterned and colorful leggings, etc.
  • Don't forget your plugs, piercings, and random scars supposedly acquired through woodwork and other carpenter-like endeavors.
  • Appropriately ironic accessories are mandatory, such as things kids would take to school, like an animal image on a lunchbox.
  • Essentials include a courier bag (not a backpack), preferably something from Freitag, that can fit your MacBook, iPhone, and vinyl LPs (never CDs) of your current favorite band.
Mismatch and layer. Layering or wearing things that don't match together is very hipster. It's that "I can't be bothered" look that actually takes some planning until you get into the habit.
  • Remember that a hipster's outfit never needs adjustment should you decide to go to the beach — keep all of your urban accompaniments for the sand and surfto ironically stick out of your element.
Watch hipster cinema. Watch independent and foreign films, as well as attending independent theater productions, such as shows by Ann Liv Young. Watch Wes Anderson, Hal Hartley and Jim Jarmusch movies.

Listen to newly emerging, independent music. Indie music is a big part of what being a hipster is all about. Turn to the endless and ever-renewing list of independent artists in the music scene, especially in the areas of nu-rave, minimalisttechno, independent rap, nerdcore, Elephant 6, garage rock, classic rock (Beatles usually), and punk rock.
  • Hipster artists of note include Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Belle & Sebastian, Electric President, Stray Kites, Jens Lekman, Neutral Milk Hotel, M83, Neon Indian, Neon Neon, Margot & The Nuclear So and Sos, and King Khan and the Shrines.
  • Music blogs like Gorilla vs. Bear, Indiehere, /mu/, and Stereogum may help you with choosing suitable bands to listen to. Meeting people who are already into these bands will help you as well.
  • Perhaps the most popular hipster music website is Pitchfork Media. If they give an album a good rating, it must be quite hip.
  • One good way to decipher whether or not an artist is hipster is if your non-hipster friends to have never heard of them.
  • Feel free to listen to the music of other countries as well, since most mainstream songs of this decade came out of America, Britain and South Korea.

Use social media. Hipsters love to use Blogspot, Tumblr or Wordpress, as well as taking photos with their Holga cameras and making cross-processed and "dream-like" pictures. Social media can also be a great way to find new things to enjoy, before they become mainstream.

Jakarta Based Graphic Design Student Application

For this project I chose "Jakarta Hipster" for theme, therefore I named my project "Jakhispter". First thing first I did research on what hipster is to know more about it. Then I gathered all keywords appeared from the Hipster word to broaden the knowledge of Hipster. And also I searched for Jakarta hipster people also. Here is my mind map and mood board.



Graphic Interactive Design II - Final Project

APPLIED USER INTERFACE DESIGN

Goal : 
Plan and execute UI design workflow (conceptual, planning, visual mockup, to
the basic prototype) in order to create a coherent set of User Interface (UI) that
will be applied in a responsive website and iOS 7 application.

The lecture gave 2 options of project, I chose the second one, because I think it would be more challenging and fun.

Project Brief : 
A SIMPLE APP FOR JAKARTA-BASED GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENT
Design an app that provide useful information in the most fun way for design students
(university/college) that study in Jakarta. Visually the overall app's UI should communicate the look and feel of an app that belong to the Jakarta's design student demographic.The topic and the content of the app should focus on ideas based on the 5W1H framework. If needed, create persona to assist in identifying the user behaviour and needs.

This video really influence our style and interactivity for our magazine.


Development (5)

For the table of contents, we got the idea to make it like the picture above. The idea is we can pull the text upward. When we pull it, we also automatically pull the picture upward, it's kinda like an illusion.
