HAPPY NATIONAL DAY, all!!

happy birthday

MALAYSIA.

no matter where i roam,

this is home sweet home!

- here in my home.

"if you knew everything about tomorrow, 

what would you do differently about today?"

faith popcorn.

*well, my laptop is not tat colouful. hehe. photoshopped it for my magazine! hehe.*

although i really love my laptop.

but i really miss doing work by hand!!! :(

last year,  most of my projects are to be done by hand. and i wished that we could use the design programs more often.

but this year, i need to sit in front of the laptop for hours. and keep switching between programs.

 from illustrator to photoshop, to Indesign. 

argghh! hate it men!

but love it too.

:)

it got me through.

i've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror 

and bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer.

But my breath fogged up the glass

and so i drew a new face and i laughed.

I guess what i'd be saying is there ain't no better reason

to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.

it's what we aim to do.

our name is our virtue.

but i won't hesitate no more, 

no more it cannot wait

i'm yours.

it got me through the tough tough weekend.

i'm stress free! 

:)

rainy days and fridays always get me down.

hate rainy days. thursday was such a wet wet day!!

so gloomy and moody. plus lecture was super boring too!

AND talking about fridays. it maybe the best day of the week for some of you guys.

it may seem to be a fun day for me too as i don't have any classes on friday.

HOWEVER, assignments and project is the ones filling up my WHOLE friday!

hate it! i need fresh air! 

however i really enjoy doing my assignments. :) but give us more time!!!

ball me up fest!!

project one, fringe festival.

fringe means an outer edge, margin, periphery.

BALL ME UP FEST!

the front!

my hero image! done with markers and fine liners and colour pencils.

the back of the brochure is the contents,

well, this festival is basically about you being the ball instead of controlling the ball.

a newly invented machine will b the one hitting you (the ball) around.

there will b all sort of ball sport for you to experience.

you have a choice to be either inside the ball or if you wanna to go to the extreme, you can be wrapped on the surface of the ball.

tickets available at www.ballmeup.com!

sadly, its not a festival that can be carried out that easily!

hopefully one day,

there will be a festival similar to this!

that will be soo fringe!

my paintball experience

 was sooo awesome!!!!

at the beginning, i was sooo scared after hearing other people's experience.

all the bruises and the pain.

ohh.. soooo terrifying!

when i got onto the field all i did was hide! but still i got shot at my finger!

it was sooo freaking painful. :(

but slowly, i started to be more daring since all the girl were so brave!

(i was the weakest!!)

it was then i started to enjoy more!

wooottt!

groupie shot before starting!

pest control workers!

after all that action! 

i felt like i was in war! seriously!

groupie shot with our referee!

i loved it!

when we needed to stick to each other wherever we went.

The fundamental skills of a designer is TALENT.

Talent is a rare commodity.

It is all intuition and you can't teach intuition.

-David Carson-

thanks you mr carson, for saying that!

:)

i dislike tidiness and lecturers who love it.

project title- the colour of type.

project aim- understanding of the visual 'texture' and tonal values that are inherent in type.

this is one of the four squares i did!

its not suppose to be readable.

*i cant upload the rest! dumb internet!*

i need to REDO.

mounting wasn't up to standard.

anyways, everyone needs to redo except for 5 peeps.

hate it!!

wasting time and money!

Ramona Novelia Falencia Pauline Wiyono.
