First assignment. Completed.

wohoo~ After rushing about 1 week, finally i'm done with my first assignment for both Design Studies and me as a design student. Like what Michelle said yesterday, after saw the print out, felt quite proud for them, and it's true. It's the first time for most of us to express our own concepts into posters. Done with the presentation today, quite relief. I was too nervous till everything gone blank in my mind when I was up there, just like the previous times. Got stuck in the middle, but manage to BLAA finished it. ;) *clapclap for michele for being able to done those.gege*

So this is my first poster. POSTER1. noname. sosad.

So my first poster, is about a basketballer trying to throw the ball into the net. My concept is that the basketballer, which is in black, represents everyone of us, whereas I replace the ball with an Earth instead of a basketball. The earth is larger than the net, so that it is ‘stuck’ on the ring of the net and it keeps the earth from falling. This is the idea of mine showing the way to protect the earth. But it is not well visualized, so I came out with the idea of 3R. There is a message that urges people to reduce, reuse and recycle. The net also acts as a bin. Since the earth, which acts as a ‘thing’, is larger, it cant be thrown into it, and have to apply on the 3R concept. So that the next generation can live in a better environment.


POSTER2. '...stop deforestation, experience the nature lively.'


As for the second poster, ‘stop deforestation, experience the nature lively’ is my theme. I get this concept quite meaningful as I make it a design of a child is looking on the nature or forest view through a laptop or television. There is a real nature’s image in the laptop and real image of a child for my poster while the background is all surrounded with cartoon drawn concrete buildings. This is to let the viewers focus on the real image and emphasize on my theme that if deforestation and construction continue, the future earth will no longer have enough trees around, so as to the children will not have the chance to view and experience the beauty of nature lively.


POSTER3. '...money or power is nothing without the earth.'


Lastly, the third poster, ‘money or power is nothing without the earth’ will be my theme. It is a simple design, but has meaning on it. Since most people nowadays are quite realistic and selfish, they care more on money then the only one earth. So I put a safe on the whole poster for my design, with the earth inside the safe, emphasizing that we should keep our earth save and protected too, and money or power is nothing without the earth. We cannot be a happy millionaire or powerful person without a healthy earth to spend with.


HEheh. i just C&P the description of my concepts from the Journal. I made my concept with the same title for 3 of them, but different themes. I know my english ain't good. My dad even said so.lol Rushing to done it bahr yesterday night. erh..don't wanna care it already. DONE! XD

OneTwoThree.

This week I'm going to get myself busy already. Say NO to Slackin', say YES to Workin'! LOL Tasks to be done or have to do : (1) Sketch 3 posters, and start design and get the outcome by next week after approval from Roy. (2) Design my own font. Can get a mysterious prize from Roy for the best one. Definitely not me. (3) Search for a painting in MOMA webby for Context & Culture's ass.. Shall start doing it after complete my posters.

Well, my sketching part is almost complete now. I need my bro's help on one of the piece of the drawings. Haiz..what a failure designer. ;( But at least the ideas are originally from me! That helps some right? ;) I hope that I'm doing the right way and the outcome can be like what I've imagined. Will post up the pictures after I'm done with them. (if it's viewable.LOL) Haveta make myself practice more on my drawing already. Had a GREAT laugh on my drawing with bro just now.>,<

It's cool that the house now is having TWO designers. =) And if my eldest bro counts, that makes THREE! =D

Azuar's class.

Talk about the museum trip yesterday, it's just okay, not THAT much excitement though. It's my first time, although I'm a Kuchingnite. =p It's funny that few of us who are Kuchingnite don't really know the route. So we follow each other behind. Benjamin is the 1st, I'm the 2nd, 3rd I don't know her name and 4th is Damien. I saw Benjamin drove into a wrong direction's route, I don't know what to do, just follow. Who knows those at the back following too! hahahah! Then suddenly he accelerates! Damien too, potong us.LOL They speed toward the green light while me and the other car have to stop because of the red light. Luckily I know the route lo..chou Benjamin,he said he purposely did it. booooolala~

Then, we walk to the museum, I don't really know the name. Look around like sakai, actually still okay la, get to see few different paintings, crafts, fish?, and so on. Got few paintings really attract me.When we get to the different 'building' or something, Azuar gives us task to complete. We have to get the answers in the museum. Some need drawings, mine kanasai ('like shit') lo (macam sehkia drawing).haiz~ After those, we go back to uni then. And I realized that we forgot to take our group photo. aihs~



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So about today, nothing much on the Context & Culture though, but fun.hehe Azuar wants us to draw a portrait of the person sitting next to us, in 5 minutes. *oamgee,idonohowtodrawwei!!* Then I turn and look at my 'partner' and smile, he's an 'artistic' international student I can say, because he knows quite much about those famous famous artist like, .... hmmm..see, I don't really know who I can say out except for Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Picasso, Man...dono and...like whaaaaat?
==" okay, then he starts to draw me, I was like *die, how am i going to control my hand?* then I just roughly find something and sketch, I look at him, and think coz I'm focusing on how to draw the 'feel', he asks me "why aren't u drawing?" me laugh, "yeah, i am..." .... look at him, "im honest with you, that I don't know how to draw." He,"nah-it's-okay-something-like-that." I don't complete mine for sure, but he completes his, and gave it to me. It's in my file still.haha (first time people drawing a portrait of mine bahr... :x)Then I sign my undone work and gave it to him, with a "Happy April Fool~" thing on it, he laughs. hehe

After some boring lectures, we still got about 2 hours time. We get a short break and I just chit-chat and joke with them. Later, Azuar suggest to let us watch a movie. cool~ It's a French film, something about art, love, comedy. Really funny in some of the parts. HAHAHAHA stupid, but i like. and it has 18SX sceneS summore..LOL but I find it boring too at the same time. We don't finish the film till next week, as it's a 2 hours plus film. cool class I'm having these 2 days~ lml ^o^ lml


P/S: no pictures available, bad huh? ><

Draw with a mouse.

Well, last week I was learning Illustration (tracing) in my Design Studies. At first I was really blur with it, but I really don't know why yesterday night when i tried it again, i worked it quite well. Genius maybe? =) *jokes~ Hopefully I still remember the steps. And here (picture below) is the outcome of what I've done using the software, which made me pissed off few times because of the installation. Grrrrr.... >:(

The actual picture.

The illustrate one. (undone) Using the old version of software, unattractive and 'old' for me. I'm going to change it into a newer version soon. This have to sacrifice my Windows 7 into Vista. ><>

And oh, we are learning Photoshop today. They are totally new things for me. >< Hope that I can get handy with them soon. =) We are told to do 3 posters for our assignment for this subject too. Have to brainstorm soon, and the worst part is, we got only 2 weeks time since today. ohmamamiya~ sei for (die fire - die liao la)... But it's still early to say die la, as there are still degree and future job waiting for me to die for. =)

It's another day.

Today is the 3rd day of class for me, and it's the last day for this week. Free much? LOLs. Went to school around 1pm+. Quite full the parking slots..-,- needa drove up the MSC. Then, today met with Natasha, a friendly pretty gal from KK, Shane aka Shanelka (sorry, I don't really know how to spell ur name yet.), a pretty international student(sorry again, I don't remember and know where's the place :x) and also Peter, a tall guy from Sarikei. Nice to meet them afterall.=) Today Azuar taught us about the different characteristics of both Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo. Quite boring at first.=x And there's a few of new faces in the class too, mostly international's.

And, I can't wait till next Wednesday!! We are going for a half day trip at the museum!! yayy~~ cool much!! love it. *but I don't really know how to drive there.opps* and that's the moment I realized that doing engineering last year was really really boring. :x

Yeeha~ Hope we do have FUN around there! I think Natasha and Peter will, as they gonna change into pro photographers that day. cool~ *can teach me??? hahaha

First Day for a DS.

It's the first day of a new semester for me today. Went to U earlier to meet those old buddies. The libraries, parking places, open dine, everywhere were so crowded. Saw about 90% of new faces. (I din't explore that much of places.) We chatted quite loud in the library, especially me..haha I suddenly miss those days. :( and now I'm all alone. haihs~ Well, life goes on. Hopefully I can be more independent, out-going and brave after this all-alone-thingy.

Well, talk about the first class, I really felt so isolated when I realised that 95% of them are actually from the same group last semester. They are like buddies, joke around, even with the last semester's lecturer, Azuar, and the current new lecturer, Roy. But, I can't deny that they both are great lecturers! They were only 25, and they treat us like friends, from what I see till this moment. Azuar even brought them to a trip or something last semester. cool. And I think they are planning one, soon. wee~ Hopefully for my group in my current-mixed-sem, he will bring us too. =) cool and funny lecturers they are. They even going for dinner tonight with some of the students, but I'm not joining, as I'm not in the 'gang' yet. :x

During the class, we self-introduced ourselves, like kids huh? haha but at least it made me knew who my course mates are, and from where. Quite a few from KK, then 1 from Jakarta, and 1 from Taiwan!! wow~ I hope I can remember some of their names. Guess what? There's 3 ''Michelle's" in the room! cool much? But one was absent today.aww After i introduced myself, the lecturer, Roy, asked, "Is your part time job saving people?" "uh? why?!" I'm blur that moment, then i realized that I'm wearing my SuperGirl's Tee! hahaha nice one Roy! Then we played some 'game', more like an activity, lecturer Azuar wanted us to walk in different WAYS from Point A to Point B without repetition. The objective of this is that he wanted us to think that we can do a thing with lots of ideas, and not only by walking straightly, something like that. We played it for 3 rounds. LOL Firstly, I walked zig-zagly. Roy asked me to do in a Superman way, then I asked, "fly over? *with a Superman sign*" lol.they laughed. Then secondly, I got myself a partner, Albee, to 'dance'-over-with-Waltz style.haha Thirdly, again, partner-ed with Albee, with the Supermodel-walking-along-the-carpet-and-the-photographer-kept-on-following-and-shooting-style.HAH! 0hya, Albee, a Sibu gal, was the first friend I talked to today. Not bad la..*keep going chele* In a short while, the room really got crazy..lols! I like it~ With two of the manga-super-fans, they did something like 'Shunpo' thing. OMG! We all burst into laughters! I noticed that one of them acted weirdly all the time, they kept laughing or teasing him. :x

Oh well, it's quite a great class I can say, hope that I can get along with them. (Their angmo are geng too! >,<)

And Roy was right, we need to have passion on design, not just liking it. We also need to have a vision for what we are doing, so that we know what we want. Yeah, I totally agree with it. I hope that Multimedia Design, careers in digital film and video production or creating animation or effects those in a film, is what I'm looking for and want. Although I can't really draw well *sighh*, someday, I hope to be a professional, and get into an ideal production team. My vision. *atm. =)

P/S: I wana upload some pictures so that it won't be too black and white. But, stupid line stops me. grrrrrrr
