Fire On Ice!

Now for the assignment of the Photography, we are ordered to take two picture of model, either in studio or outdoor, and a picture of still-life thing. So, I started off with taking the picture of still life first as my model is not free at all until Raya Break.........

Firstly, my intention is to capture a candle tht has water lighted on top of it instead of fire. The concept is to have four candles, with three candles lighted with fire and the other one with a drop of water lighted on top of it........ This was the hardest photo I have taken in my life at this point.... Finally I managed to catch it after shooting more 100 photos of it just to get a perfect one but in the end I drop this idea as too much of photo manipulations is needed for it, somemore the result doesn't look so good compare to the one I wanted to take in the first place.

So another idea struck while I m doing my research on fire, then I decided to shoot fire tht is lighted on top of the ice. On Thursday, after my Design Heritage class, I rushed over to the photo lab to set up all the lighting equipment before getting ready to shoot. I asked Eric Chih to come over help me when he is finished eating with his gf. After taking some time to get the correct light reflect on the ice, I start shooting liao. As the ice melt very fast inside the studio, I have to keep asking Joanne to bring me a new cup of ice. Thank Joanne for all this trouble..... Then come Eric Chih who keep helping me arrange the ice in a more nicer way n keep everything in a more perspective way! He really has been a great help to me all this while, thank bro! Then it was during the last moment of the shooting where Eric Chih pour a big bottle of ice onto the per-spec for me to get a final shoot of it. Actually the lecturer alderi approve the photo but I was not so happy with the result, then it was the last photo tht I shoot that it really satisfy me at least! Then my lecturer have look at it n decided that the last photo is better than the previous so I choose tht as my still-life assignment. By the way, the model shooting is coming up next! Dun miss it yeah! =)

My Book Conceptual 'MARVEL SUPERHEROES IDENTITY'

My first assignment for my Graphic Design is to create a book with at least 40 pages inside excluding all the contents n introduction part. After thinking for some time, I decided to choose MARVEL as my topic due to the reason I m being a Marvel's fan myself. Whenever I designed the things I like, I will automatically add in more effort n desire in doing it, wells tht's me. ><

Supposedly, my topic will be "Marvel Superheores Biodata but ERiC CHiH say that using the word "Identity' look more professional so I tried to apply it n it really do sound nicer n professional, hahahahaha. Thank ya! The layout inside about the Marvel's identity is mostly the same as I try to make it easy for both kids and adult to read n enjoy it. I applied the photo montage things for almost 99% inside the book, every picture is being edited n I jus enjoy doing it. Besides jus creating the book, I also printed my main Marvel's design on the shirt. Then lastly I created a packaging for it, I try to make the packaging look like a file and also have a function of it so people can use it too. Well, I will let te picture do all talking.......... enjoyzzzzzzzz =)

My first T-Shirt printing

I decided to make myself a T-Shirt based on my Marvel's Design for the book conceptual free gift. After finishing designing the Marvel design, I ask Adora for the location of the printing shop, she say she will be at that area too tomolow.

So the next day, after my BM class, my frenz bring me over to Times Square, and I travel from there to Pasar Seni, upon reaching,  I call Adora n ask where is she, she say she is at Old Town, at first i tot it is somewhere around tht area, so I decided to search myself. Then I walked all the way to the end of the Petaling Street n still couldn't find it, then  I call her again, then she say it is at the other direction. OMG, I have to walk all the way n start all over again to the area, but it didnt took for me to find it. Then finally I managed to meet her, get my shirt done printing then quickly rush over to Pudu to meet cousins where we have to rush bak to Johor for her cousins weddings..........

Enjoyz my shirt pic...... =)

My First Human Vector Drawing

I m being given an assignment of drawing a human vector for my computer graphic, I can either choose myself as the portrait or someone else. So I choose myself as the portrait to draw. When the lecturer was showing us the sample of the vector, the whole class was like OMG, tht would be too hard to draw bah. The examples shown was too amazing, but wat to do, we as a designer should know how to do this...........

Below will show the process of doing the illustrator. Enjoyz =)



I started off with head first!



Then color it, the mouth is actually the hardest part.



The jacket and jean part!



I changed the skin color tone to a lighter color and reconstruct the mouth again!



        Touch up for the face, took me 3 hours for it!

The Final Outcome of it! =)

Avril Lavigne's Concert

Little did I know it will turn to be such an amazing concert by Avril. It took Eric and me around 5 damn hour of standing and 1 hour of raining hitting on us before the concert finally started, but at least we get a nice front standing row. =) 

The atmosphere is just so amazing, every1 was shouting Avril's name, and can't wait for Avril to come out....... By the time she come out, the atmosphere is just indescribable....... some more, there is a feeling of earthquake on the ground, as if a King Kong is jumping on the field.........

She start the concert with her latest album hit song 'Girlfriends'. All her song is just amazing, it is far off nicer than listen to the cd one. She end the concert with one her old song 'Ska8er Boy'... The onli bad things about the concert is the show lasted less than 1 1/2 hour due to the stupid protester protesting outside (they r really the most stupid ppl I ever seen!)

Omg, by te way, four of my frenz who buy the cheapest ticket can't manage to see the show clearly,  and the worst thing is that they can't even listen clearly to the music due to they are being separated too far to the stage ......... Hope this video will help them.

Overall I will let the video do the talking rather than typing all wat happen there. Enjoyz the video. =)
