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. =)

Musings, even before my first tutorial. ._."

AH finally got to creating this blog for my module.
for a communications and new media student,
i sure ain't that technologically inclined sigh.

there definitely will be a steep learning curve for photoshop and illustrator.
oh well, my friends'll guide me,
soI believe i'll somewhat learn how to clumsily handle these two applications.
laugh, i really don't know what to expect from this module.
it seems so bloody interesting, and yet i'm positive it'll give me nightmares.
haha, i ought to lower my expectations so nothing disappoints. basic mandate of life, no?

ah I better doublecheck what is expected of this blog though,
so nothing particularly redundant finds its way here.
reflections, the final product, prelimary sketches?
haha oh well, i'll use it as an emotional/sketches/assignments dumping ground.
basically, anything and everything concerning this module.

AHHHH i need to learn how to scan ,damnit.
geh, and i better add a picture on the sidebar ( if that's what it's called)
as some sort of visual marker for my tutor lol.
