Website

Did some banner links for AgapeCare website: My goal was to keep it simple, a ONE image banner which speaks the message.

This was my website project for G Voice Mobile- a company based in Thailand. I knew minimal about web designing, but went and took up the challenged. They wanted the logo to be animated with a simple design layout. And this project was challenging but fun too, exploring the different ways to do a website. There’s so much to learn and brush up on. To be honest, there were many things that could have been improved. Hopefully the next time a web development course comes along, my dates will be free! =)

Nancie’s Farewell

A very good pal of mine was leaving to further her studies in UK. She’s a very sentimental person, who loves scrapbooking and designing even more recently. Tried my first time to make a proper scrapbook with pictures of the past 6 months since she came up to kl and the time we have been hanging out together.

Gave her at the airport. and she cried! =) Mission accomplish. XD

Just wanted her to have something to look through each time she felt alone.

She adore spirals and the moment I saw this pattern paper, I knew it was exactly what I needed.

Photoshop Works

These are several assignments that I have been doing in my current semester in my Digital Imaging class. I particularly love this subject: Reason being so is we learn more indepth on Photoshop.  I picked up Photoshop sometime 2 years back and self taught myself with many tutorials on Youtube. What I knew was very minimal, mostly to do picture manipulation and picture editing. Now, having a teacher to guide you and allow myself to discover Photoshop ever more… that’s exciting!

Assignment: Choose a theme and use a minimum amount of 6 images to illustrate it. I chose the 7 wonders. (and made me discover more places I would like to visit one day. lol). The 7 wonders of the world was my theme.

Assignment: Create an explosion scene with the given KLCC image

Assignment: 1. Create a magazine cover with your image as the front page, doing necessary editing

2. Create an article page with a Yeo’s ad with you as their ” product ambassador”

The process:

1. Make up and hair ( Gelled and twirled sections of my hair, with smoky eye effect)

2. Set up (White cloth, table lamp from the top, bounce flash, fan for the blowing effect)

3.Choose picture

4. Edit picture

4. Design layout

The editing part was the most fun part of the process. The hair color, creating more intense looking makeup, apply eyelashes, smoothen the skin.. these were all done in Photoshop. Below is the unedited image. That will show you how cool Photoshop can be. =)

Personalized Journal

Something I did sometime back for my friend, Charmain =)

IMG_2411

She loves writing. She loves languages. She loves classic stories.

her birthday was coming!!

Gave her a personalised notebook with a letter C-for Charmain.

It’s really simple to make. No kidding.

Here was what I did.

IMG_2388

Get some fabric, with the size of the book, measure and leave an extra of 2.5-3 ” on all 4 sides. Cut the fabric out

Fold the sides in slightly and sew them.

IMG_2390

It’ll look something like that.

IMG_2407

Lay the book on the fabric and fold the sides in and glue them down. I prefer double sided tape, as they  leave my fingers glue and sticky-free

IMG_2421

Add any embellishment/deco/ funky elements you like. For this I stamped the C on  embossed ink and embossed it with white powder- it didn’t have the white embossed look as I expected, but instead it gave it a pretty frosty texture. =)

IMG_2410

Find a ribbon/lace and tie your personalized journal.

IMG_2415

This is one, specially for you, Charmain~ with your favorite verse and quotes inside.

Digital works

These are some side artworks that I have been doing while studying.

1. A brochure for a friend, to tell others about his dream in conquering the 7 summits;  and getting sponsorship at the same time to finance his climbs.

2. A banner for my sister’s baking blog. It’s called drools… it’s all about filling the bland with treats. I love how the tagline was formed. It derived from this: filling the ______ (blank) with treats.  The blog site is up but the posts and links are not up yet. As Suli is very busy with her baking course, drools will be up when she gets a break from that and when she starts taking orders again. =)

3. A digital get well soon card. The idea was from the Chance card- from my all-time fav boardgame: Monopoly.

4. As seen, it’s a birthday card =) haha

5. A name card for a friend’s mom.

6. A rough draft of a flyer I did for my church. If you have seen our past few designs, they are just sooo creatively done by ACTSdesign (our designing team). It was my first one and it’s simple. but might add more elements to give it more oommph.

I haven’t been doing much scrapbooking lately, due to the fact that my supplies are running really low and I’m still looking out for cheaper alternatives on getting supplies without having to go to Singapore. If you know of any, pls let me noe. =)Although digitally is not as time consuming and cost is minimal, I still adore non-digital scrapbooking over this.

Do check out the SDU (Scrapbooking design University) classes in www.laines.com.sg. If you’re so happens in Singapore, check it out!  I’m still waiting for the right time to attend their classes since a year ago..

A chat messenger

My project last semester, my 4th semester. Using Adobe Director, we had to create a simulation (I wrote stimulation on my assignment sheet XD).. ok. simulation of a chat messenger of our choice from scratch with good design as well as interaction. With several suggestions by friends, the final one was Oink Messenger. I wanted it to be a simple and fun looking design with bright colors. It was another fun project to do, and I was more than HAPPY with my marks for this project. Here are some printscreen shots.

Posters

This is my project in my 3rd semester subject, Design Illustration. Using Illustrator, we had to create posters for a campaign during the Olympics season. I chose to use chains- a visual to represent Obstacles to go along with the theme: it’s all about the SPIRIT of the game.  I was aware the theme itself is cliche. Even so, I wanted  it to focus on athletics that were not so called “champions” but yet responded positively. Namely these 3 athletics really stood out to me during the Olympics.

I really enjoyed this assignment, as it challenged me to be able to think of ways to show, to illustrate to other people the MESSAGE I what you them to get with just ONE look. There were a lot of sketches, writings, searching for the right pictures, changes, critisms, and scribbles involved, but I loved each part of it. It was the start of my love for Illustrator and the eye-opener towards the world of designing.

Website

This is an assignment for my 2nd semester subject, Multimedia Design I. We had to design 3 pages for a website of our choice. I chose scrapbook4memories – my dream scrapbooking business (before bitsofdesign came about).  There is no existing website for this assignment, these are just static pages – sorry. =)
