Food.

I went to Spring with my mum today. Japanese food... What what Udon. Quite ok. They used more than 40 minutes just to cook this little thing... Aduhai~ What for swinging the egg and spatula up and down?! Wasting time.
Bubur Chacha. Rm3.00. Urgh.. It tastes like water rather than santan.
Black Sesame with peanuts and red bean. Rm3.00. Never ever gonna eat this again.
Kolo Mee. Very small. At Green Road. Tastes ok, but my mum's Kolo Mee tastes more delicious!

HA-Ha-HA

YES! KL LOVES my final!!! Today I had my presentation on that poster. He said, "Crystal, I've only one thing to say to you, & that is thank you very much." I think my presentation was the shortest one in class.. Hiak hiak. Arghh~~ So happy!!! He said he has nothing to pick on my poster.. & he loves it! Heh heh~~ He say he can see that I put a lot of effort in doing this, but the truth is that I only use one night to come out with the idea.. Yes, even though I DID do A LOT of attempts with almost similar placement & everything. You see, the final is totally different from my other attempts. Personally, I love my design and I think it would be a cool poster! 

Hey, dont be too "gek diok" when you read this post! Hahaha.

So, anyway, next week is our mid-semester break holiday. Finally, have the chance to sleep! Had been rushing for my assignments for weeks now. Sleep at 5am(earliest) and 7am everyday! C'mon, I'm not a robot, so I NEED to get some sleep(to 'replace back') Heheh~ So, phone will be off. Yeah, 2moro I'm going to wake up at 3pm! &, 2nite's movie night! Let see, what move should I watch?? Hmmm...

My Advertising - Promotion Ad.

Final. KL loves it. Yipee~ See, remember that I say he likes last minute works?? I do this last night!! Compared to my other "hard work" poster, he said he likes this one. Really, from now on, I should just leave his assignment to the last. So, becoz this is a "sudden" idea, I really didnt know how to 'rational' it. sigh. My rational~ How am I going to write?.... This idea come out of nowhere & I arranged it just becoz I like it, there's no 'explanation' for it boh.. how leh? Still need to write rational? (Planning to use this as my rational.. heh heh~)

1st concept.

2nd concept.

3rd concept.

4th concept.

My works...

P Ramlee final. For my Illustration 3.

Some sketches for Illustration Assignment 2, Transformation.

My rough idea. Heheh~ I think the duck looks cute~

Something more detail. My lecturer wants me to draw extremely EXTREMELY detail. Sigh... Even so, I feel that the transformation is a bit childish and strange.... Sigh, but anyway, it's my design, so I probably should say "IT'S GOOD, I LOVE IT, dont you think so?" Hmm. But it IS good!!! rite?

27 Dresses.

The movie poster.
The last scene. They married!!
My favourite scene, when Kevin was standing to wait for his bride, Jane. Oh.. Lovely~

So, I watched this movie, 27 Dresses on Friday, just after I came back from school. Well, I finally realized how I had been so buzy rushing for my assignment & didnt had time for myself, I mean watching TV, read a book or sth. Hey, I even forgot how to use the DVD player!! Anyway, thanks to my aunty for borrowing the disc to me, actually I had been wanting to watch this movie since it released, but never had a chance to watch it until recently. Well, I GOT TO SAY, G-R-E-A-T movie!! Hey, trust me, movies that I recommended never let anyone down! This is the kind of movie that will let you feel so sweet, that you'll want to fall in love~ Heh~ Yeah, especially since it's about wedding. My favourite scene is (the above), take notice of Kevin's expression & the atmosphere when you watch the movie.... just like what Jane said, that's when you realise you found the right man. Hmm. ^^so sweet! The movie is also terribly hilarious, especially the scene when Jane was rushing to 2 weddings at a time & the car scene, I was laughing like hell! I love the storyline, well, it's about Jane, a girl who dreams of wedding, in love with her boss(George), been a bridesmaid for 27 times. Then, came her sister, Tess, who is a liar that George falls in love with! Meanwhile, Jane met Kevin, a writer/reporter who finds Jane's "secret", & tries to get her attention to help him in his career(by publishing her story).At the same time, he also falls in love with her, but then, she found out about that he's using her. So,............ sort of fairy-tale. Oh~ Love this movie, I'm gonna watch it another time!

My Typography final. Simple, technical, sophisticated.

Upper case.

Lower case.

*Ta-da* This is my final! Yeah~ I finished it & hand-in on time. My lecturer's happy and I'm satisfied. I havent think of the font's name yet, hmm. Elevator or elevation sth probably... Any suggestions? Ha, most of the people dont seem to understand what I'm doing and could not see the alphabet. Hey, I think it's simple to notice leh.. especially for the lower case. So, anyway, this typo is about floor plans(typing my rational here again, heh~), in order to make this font looks like they all belong to the same family, I chose the elevator as my main subject, then, I simplified & SIMPLIFIED till it became as simple yet sophisticated as that(that's what my lecturer said). So, my theme is about floor plans, a font that is technical and especially created for interior design. It might not be that easy to understand at first but after you look at it carefully for a while, you would go, "Oh, I see..."(that's I heard every time I finished explaining.) The difficult part of doing this assignment of coz would be the concept part, but I feel that doing it in Illustrator was the hardest part since my piece of artwork IS suppose to be REALLY technical, you see. But anyway, I get it all done on time. Ya~ Now, comes another difficult task & that is our assignment 2, using the font that we created in assignment(which for me is this font), we have to come out with a book ABOUT this font. *faint* Yap, that's right. So, another technical book, I guess.

My promotion ad (is that the title of our 2nd assignment?)

So, anyway, I pick Henry Lau. Em, I had been thinking about this assignment for a week now(not really lah, just when I'm taking bath, heh~), & I cant seem to decide on what I want to do. A concert poster, domino's exhibition, magic show, etc. But I wanted to do something more to music, a concert, probably. At first I choose Celine Dion, but then, I figure that my lecturer WOULD know "much" about Celine Dion, then he'll pick on this & that, so I decide to choose someone he doesnt know. Btw, it was last minute idea, ha~, I did these just before I went to sleep. Heh~ Becoz the next day, we have to show sketches, & I think it's better to "create it out" rather than sketching, which I think is useless becoz it doesnt look like the real thing, so, he wont know what I'm explaining, get what I mean? Henry Lau suddenly pops in my mind, then I think, why not? Ya, Henry Lau, since he's quite new, & haha, I have to fake that as if he is a star! I mean, he is, but no album, right? My lecturer ask me what's the name of his album, & I say,"Henry Lau", "Just Henry Lau?", "Yap." Hahaha~ Hopefully he wont go & search for it, he's quite interested, I think. He's Super Junior's group member, new member. Actually I saw him before, couple years back, in 吴忠宪‘s 我猜我猜我猜猜猜(weird name), if I'm not wrong. So, below are the poster ad I did lah.. I use 10 minutes to it oh, so not that prefect.


My first concept. I know the lecturer's style, he likes last-minute work. I did this for fun, I know he'll ask me to change this & that for 6/7 times, then before the day I present, baru he approve. See lah... So, I showed him. 

He said, "..change the "ticket at"(looks strange)."

"Oh.."

Then, "The image looks like Final Fantasy, I dont like it."

"Ok..............."

"The font looks strange too.. what font did he use for his album??" 

I had to answer,"..neh, same font like "The Violinist Dancer"..." 

"Hmm, change it." 

Hey, I love the font leh, I think it suits the poster leh... sigh. (HE NEEDS TO PICK ON STH.)

Second concept. Almost the same lah actually. 

He said, "Nah, too sentimental, he is a dancer, I can't see the fact that he's a dancer, looks like he's just an ordinary professional violinist.." 

*da da* OUT.

3rd concept. He choose this one. BUT, 

"From the pic, I can see he's a dancer, but where's the violin?". 

"Behind, cant you see?"

"Nope, common' put in a violin lah, please. & why is the word touching his head?"

*blink* "Erm.." 

"Move it up a bit lah, please. You're a graphic designer, use some other font lah. What program did you use to do this?" 

"Erm, Photoshop?."

"What?? ............. haiyah, so old fashion ah. Common', use Illustrator lah."

"..........."

Sigh. So, anyway, this is what my lecturer commented. 

This is just the 1st try, I had to do 5 more before he can finally approve. Just wait & see.

Anyway~

Hmm. Not in the mood to do my assignment even though 2moro's a really buzy day. Emm, I have to look for bas sekolah to show him my final, then, hand-in PRamlee to Mr P, tell Mr KL my idea in class, look for RD to show her my research.. Ah, talking about that, becoz of her, I got scolded by people becoz of taking pictures of milks.. For your information, I chose Marigold & Dutch Lady as my logo comparison, that's our assignment 2 for Corporate Image. This morning I went to Unaco, Everise & Boulevard to compare different prices and to take pic of the milk, how they promote & stuff. Then, one lady came and told me that I'm not allow to take pic & stuff. Anyway, I ended up so embarrassed becoz I'm alone and I had to take pic so "secretly"(becoz I had no choice, I need those photos for my assignment!) after she left. Everyone's looking at me as if I'm wearing a sign that says, "I'm an alien". Urgh. Anyways, I buy a lot of milk. Ya, that's dumb, I know, but what to do??.. Lucky that I love to drink milk, but my $$$. I wasted Rm30 buying milk, can you believe that?? Now my fridge is full of milk, have to finish all of them by 2moro, juz to show RD those packaging that I collected. What a stupid assignment indeed! Sigh. Anyways~ @,_@ I'm stuck with my Promotion Ad. Sigh..

My "elevator" typo~

So, this is my Typo. I know it looks weird, it's just a draft. My theme is floor plan, but then I used elevator as my main "thing", to show consistency between the font lah, which then, modified into sth like this. Bas Sekolah said he doesnt want the font to look too Stereotype, so I tried to cut of one line from every alphabet. Suppose to show bas sekolah yesterday but like I said, he didnt come to class. Cannot final loh, have to wait till Friday becoz 2moro I'm not going to school. I showed it to Alex & he suggested that I change some of the designs, might be too abstract to understand. Anyway, I havent think of a name for it. Any suggestion??

About my "today".

Yes, I feel blessed. I realize God really help me out of troubles whenever I seek him. So, as long as I have faith, everything will be OK! You know, today was such a happy day for me! I had been so worried about my practical which we are going to have at the end of this Sem, then, I pray to God that hopefully I can find a good place and be able to work with my friends.. This morning, "sth" happen, which I promised someone not to say. So, I wont be writing much about what actually happen, BUT, it turns out God found a prefect place for me and I can still work with my friend! Thank God for that! Today, bas sekolah didnt come for class, sigh, I was expecting to show him my final sketch which I work till 5am to complete it.. Hmm~ In the end, Alex came. Next week's the due date, how am I going to final without my lecturer's approval? Anyway, heard that his daughter is sick, so I hope that her daughter will get well soon, .... so he can come back to class(JK ^^). My mum went back to Sibu, so, it's my turn to do all the chores, ugh~ Then, Petrus say he's resigning!! Hmm~ Such a great lecturer. I think he's the friendliest and knowledgeable(in terms of drawing) lecturer in school. He IS a GOOD lecturer, I learn a lot from him during Sem 3, it's a pity he didnt have the chance to teach us in Sem 1, 2 and 4. Ya, that sums up what happen today.
