signage

For the first visual communication assignment, a signage that related to environment-saving has to be created. What I did for this signage assignment is


asking people to use energy-saving light bulb.

Well, actually it is a rush work which I managed to finish it 2 hours before the class. I feel lucky since it is now chosen to be exhibited on next week. :)

flowchart

1. Why do you want to use flowchart in your mobile interface design & screen interface design?

Flowchart is a way that can show the process of creating the design in a proper system. Through step by step, I can show out the functions of the design. I can identify the problem encountered. The solution can be found and enhancement can be done through the flow chart as well. This is the simplest logical way to get to the aim.

2. How will it help your user to meet the interactive goals?

First of all. the answer for flowchart is usually either 'yes' or 'no'. these simple yet concrete answer won't make the user confuse or hard to follow up the interaction. It is user-friendly while helping the user to understand the whole thing more easily.

Class studies

It's already the third week for this semester. I have been exposed to things that I never get in touch before. Even for AI, I learned more skill to do vector design.

This the pixel buddy icon I did for my friend. He complained his skin color in the icon was too dark after all. :P

This the icon class practice I did in class. i never try to make an icon with so much details before. Learned how to manage gradient in order to get the effect.

Red stripe on my neck

Mostly of my friends knew that I am a person that likes to take photos. By December of 2009, I receive a Canon 450D as my christmas present. Well, I'm still not familiar with all of those setting yet. Mr. Monitor-Albert, I know you do read this and you better teach me everything you know as fast as possible.

But, what I want share you all here is LOMOGRAPHY that I get in touch at the early middle of 2009. My first lomo camera is black slim devil from ultra wide & slim series. Here comes some photos snapped with it.


















After a certain period, I have put my eyes on the black bird, fly camera and I got 1 which is in yellow color using the money I get from secondary school due to the good SPM result. Although using this camera requires some skills and not so easy, but I'm enjoy using it. Photos time.






These are just a part of photos that I took before. If you all wish to have look at the others, you can visit these links below which will lead you to my facebook account. I already arrange them by the kind of slide I used for shooting.
