the end of a module

END

honestly, i did learn a lot from this module,
and i'm glad that i can say that i'm proud of my works,
after much re-doing and re-doing.
as mentioned earlier, i wish i put in more effort in my portfolio design,
but so be it. =)
the past can't be erased lol.

hopefully, one can look at my portfolio,
and look at what i wrote
( since the the colour scheme of the pictures in this blog is screwed zz)
and smile at my pieces, and perhaps remember them =)
best thing, ever.

Christmas card! - final


sigh, usual note - the colour scheme is off -thanks to blogger.
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE USED WORDPRESS.

lol anyway, enough of angsty-ing, basically i re-vamped my card.

and again, my tutorial mates' work are so much simple and pretty.
i know the emphasis on this assignment is the colour scheme,
and about that point, the un-vamped assignment,
the one i presented in tutorial is probably better. sigh..

but honestly,
i rather do a memorable pretty card which will make people happy.
my guy friend told me that if he received such a card from a friend,
he will really smile. =)

i baked real gingerbread man, child, christmas, dogs, stars,
and took different kinds of shots and to see which was best!
this was the nicest! sometimes simplicity is best lol. not too much stuff crammed into one card.
it's a shame i was rushing for the electronic deadline,
if not i would have probably added a small picture,
of a gingerbread dog at the back of the card.
oh well, maybe it's for the best. no clutter.

=) but actually i thought my unvamped card was pretty as well.
we can't have the best of both worlds, can we?

there's a sense of regret, actually.
my portfolio was hastily done.
there was so much more to my works i could have brought out.
actually, during the holidays, i think i might go and re-do my portfolio,
with better drawn sketches, with more reflections, elaborations and detail.

the portfolio doesn't do justice to my works, really.
to the effort i put in, the aesthetics, everything.

and random, i really do like shariff's card! it's imaginative, simple and everything.
i would so buy it. =)

STORYBOOK FOR CHILDREN

LOL anyway i can't upload the storybook pictures!
it's in pdf format zzz.
lol hopefully my words can paint a hundred pictures then.

anyway, my part in the project was to write the words,
i tried to use a bit of dialogue to make it more personable,
and a bit of alliteration here and there,
for the rhythmic effect,
used sound effects as well, such as ' woof woof' kind.

my group's story is about how boy roy and his dog woof used to bully cats,
but one day, he turned into a cat, and got bullied by the entire world.
then a cat used to bully was nice to him, then he reformed etc etc,
and TADA, nice boy roy. =)

haha oh well, it's cute, the storyline is cute, illustrator graphics,
and it's simple yet funny in a sense heh.

POSTER - FINAL



okay the colour fuck up is so detracting the beauty from my poster wtf.
esp when i like my poster so much LOL.
anyway, my new poster!

my friend went to vietnam and took like a thousand photos,
i looked through all of them, and i saw this gorgeous photo which i thought would be perfect!
i asked him permission to use the photo and VIOLA,
STOP WILDLIFE CAPTIVITY. =) 

i didn't overly edit the photo,
because i thought the photo was enough of a marker,
i just zoomed in a bit to capture the full effect of hand and expression.
i just added words at the bottom, under a semi opaque layer of black.
fiddled around with margins and white borders, at siti's suggestion.

i'm glad i re-did my poster, actually. =)
because honestly, i really like it. i think it's gorgeous,
because it capitalizes on the beauty of the photo,
which directly addresses the problem of wildlife conservation.
