Islamic Art

A little sharing about Coins

Would love to share about this cool Kinjang gold Coin. (barking deer)

• It is one of the most distinctive Malay coin ever made.
  
  
  
  
  
• Based on a Malay folktale ( about Cik Siti Wan Kembang )
  
  
• Different variation of kinjang style design
  
  
• 1 of them became an official logo for Central Bank Malaysia in 1964
  
  
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beside that, there are many type of interesting coin such as the calligraphy coin, colonial coin, coin with central hole, etc ...)

DSM 3 - field trip report~

Jean's own opinion on IAMM =)

1. Initial statement of IAMM is to spread knowledge and awareness of Islamic culture and art.
   
2. Audience of IAMM will be benefit by learning that Islamic culture and art comes in many different form ( architecture, Quran's and manuscripts, jewellery , textiles, etc... ). Not only that, it does not only show Islamic culture and art in Malaysia but also other countries in Southeast Asia as well as Middle East. Audience will be able to learn and experience new things.
   
   
3. In the beginning, it was very interesting but slowly I come tired and bored, most probably because there were too many things too see. It does not have any special media or attraction to keep my interest up.
   
Lighting can be better for easy reading and viewing the artifacts.


4. I like the coins and seal part, especially the Kinjang coins because I have never seen such weird shape and design of these coins before. It is also so small that caught my attention.
   
   
5. Beside that, there are also calligraphy coins and medallion that is very nice. What make me so interested in them is their designs which is different on each coins, which is also why it make these coins special.
   
   
   
   
   
6. My impression towards Islamic Art is like a little child at his first trip. * seriously haha . At first, like a little child, I am very interested and eager to know what it is all about. After knowing what it is, I would love to touch and feel ( if can play with it) the artifacts because hands is itchy.* too bad I can't.
   
   
7. 3 question to know more about Islamic Art
   - How does Islamic Art started in China and when?
   -Where does Islamic Art origins at and how does it spreads to other part of the world?
   -Will the current or future technology affect Islamic Art and why?

This website really brings out the sky feeling just like its name. Nice and unique concept of using the 5 elements of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste.

The index page is interesting as it attracts me to click of the women 5 senses. Easy to navigate and clear information.

This website is simple using paper as its element. Easy to navigate around the website as it has lesser information. Interesting rollover effect on the graphic. Maybe cause this website support environment friendly, that is why it has 'this' environmental friendly feeling when i see this website.

Web Design 2 - Frangipani

Frangipani is a high class restaurant and bar. The website consist of

earthly colors and it is named after a flower. A very different type of

concept compared to other restaurant/bar which have a more stylish

and modern website look.

What I like about the website:
-Photo of the cakes~ XD *yum yum*

*thats all i think...haha

What I dislike about the website:
- A lot of text in some pages.
- Title doesn't stand out very much.

-Navigation bar = boring.
-Doesn't have an interesting hierarchy. Photos and text are place

where it looks quite messy.
