hihi.. Alhamdulillah.. made it to 2nd sem! i'm thankful enough to even get the supp paper fo MPD.. i already thought i'm gna fail.. but, Allah have mercy on me :)

fo dis 2nd sem, i'll try to fulfill all these requirements:
  • come to class EVERYDAY. at least the attendance marks will help boost the overall mark of the subject
  • focus more on education NOT on club works.. i wasn't supposed to work for them anymore.. but.. hmmm.. it's too hard to let go.. but, after i've done the t-shirt, i won't be taking anymore designs.. time to leave it on the juniors!
  • increase my CGPA to.. i dunno.. last sem ingat nak try dapat 3.5 but dh kne amek supp plak.. so dis sem i'm gna try to shoot for 3.3 je dlu..
  • SUBMIT WORK ON TIME! i dunno why la daripada dulu sampai skarang benda ni x dapat conquer lagi.. nak kate x buat kje, buat.. okla.. try to not doing things the day before nak submit it la.. i'll try..
  • be productive by doin a t-shirt design a week. wow! susah tu.. but, i'll try la.. paling kurang pun buatla character bodo2 dalam 1 week tu kan.. coz i'm telling you my .ai skill dah karat! eek! tamau karat2 kene polish balik..

p/s: won't be able to post so much stuff on blog anymore. will try to update it on weekends..

gaga wedding!


image from Gettimages

oh! i forgot to mention that last Monday i dreamt of Lady Gaga!

i was watching a movie starring Lady Gaga and some hot guy. they went through lots of problems along the way coz people don't like to see them with each other. eventually, they got married! but, there's a twist! Lady Gaga and that actor appeared LIVE in the CINEMA where i was watching d movie! than they got married for real in the CINEMA. i was like, "this really starting to feel like Mr. Bean movie.."

anyway, that's a good idea isn't it? i mean, finishing a movie by performing the live scene inside the cinema itself. it'll be like a cinema + theatre = Thenemre! or whatever you may call it.

btw, Lady Gaga was wearing a hot pink short wedding gown :D

la roux


have you seen her yet? those clothes!! the video is so 80s yet so modern.. i loike! other than Agyness Deyn, she's my new inspiration :)

first ride!

today is a historical day for Melon! hehe! i got into a car and drove it wif 2nd gear keh keh.. baru 2nd gear.. i'm not planning to drive laju giler x ingat dunia coz i've made these vows when my class instructor showed me those awful accident photos with bloody distorted human bodies laying around the road:
  • NEVER hit people!
  • NEVER hit other cars!
  • NEVER HIT ANYTHING!!

i finally decided to get a car licence because:
  • i wna stop depending on other people sending me around like they are my drivers
  • i don't want to take any other people's precious time when they can do so much better things than sending my everywhere i wna go
  • i don't want to burden my parents
  • i wna help my parents whenever they need me to drive them anywhere
  • i wna reply the courteousness of people who've sent me back home these days :) nanti i bawak korg jalan2 ok! :D

sronok bawak kreta! cuma bila time ade problem i t'jerit sket.. sket je heheh.. i like to tekan2 minyak sket2 tapi xmoh tekan byk2 nanti terlanjur langgar curb.. ade skali kreta tu t'stop haha.. pastu instructor bagi lepas drive sorang2.. gler ah mule2 mrayu kat dea "janganla pergiii..." malu je ish! tapi bile drive sorang2 thrill plak kan! arini blaja 1 jam je.. next week 2 hours plak.. can't wait!!

p/s: semalam ke hulu ke hilir printing and hantar sijil DJ CLub to be signed by Mr. Lazi.. tengok kat dalam office CMEAD tu sume staff dea stock buat Faceboooook je.. keh keh..

dedicated

Kiel Johnson's Cardboard Twin Lens Reflex Camera Time Lapse from Theo Jemison on Vimeo.


things you have to look at while viewing the video:
  • the camera technique
  • typography
  • how he build his creation
  • his studio environment, how dedicated he is in finishing what he wants to do
  • his priceless face when he did his creation
  • what he built

really, you're that dumb?


excuse me for all the f* bombs dropped in this video but, it kinda make sense n as a designer i've undergone through all those stuff.. but, we can't really blame the clients la kan if they dunno anything about design and the softwares but, try to be considerate la.. we're not robots that you can expect us to do numerous works in just 17 minutes! guess they dunno even nak design a brochure need a very detail research, sketches, fikir camne nak arrange n all..

n lagi satu, pehal plak sroh 8 year and a half nephew yang tatau pape psal design to design fo you?? wassup with that? oh, maybe they don have enough money la kot to hire designers.. but, still.. orang yang design tu mestila tau sket2 psal design janganla maen taram je kan.. if some designs tu maen buat je, it'll bring down the company's dignity. baek x pyah design langsung.

cup of tee, perhaps?

it's been long i've posted bout t-shirts.. now, i'm in the process of designing t-shirts for DJ Club and Hulala.. x sempat2 nk illustrate dlm .ai lagi coz i've been helping my Mama at the boutique.. arini dok umah bley la buat.. yayy! dh lamaaaa x sentuh illustrator!

so i searched for some inspirations round the net.. here they are! sooo exciting! over 55++ t-shirts for your eyes to see! you can click the "Full Post >" link under the post after the related posts thumbnails. i dunno why the "Full Post >" link changed it's position there.. i didn't do anything, honestly..

wish i can buy all of these t-shirts coz my tees collections are decreasing! i can't fit in size S anymore (T-T)

superheroes in action for real!

superman in war
these photos look soo real!

quoted from FrontMag:
Born in 1980 photographer and illustrator Agan Harahap from Jakarta, Indonesia, currently works for music magazine TRAX. His latest photography project called ‘Super Hero’ consists of memorable political and wartime scenes from the mid-20th century featuring beloved superheros like Spiderman or Batman in some interesting and funny positions – true juxtaposition in effect. It’s fun to see Superman standing in the Neuschwanstein Castle.

lego kitchen

if i have a house, i'd like it to be like modern retro.. each room has different coloured walls. the house will be rounded shape. Lego kitchen would be perfect for the theme!

no clicks!




because clicking is so 90s! from andreaslutz on Vimeo.


quoted from Hundertmark: (translated)
Insane, insane, beautifully made insanity. Unbelievable. The website can be navigated only via the Webcam and a micro one steers. Andreas Lutz sounds crazy when he came up with this idea but that's what made him simply greatly!! Like a good ol' soundtrack, the side remains eternal in the mind.

wow. it would be soo freaking awesome to be able to create such a website! and to get the chance to navigate it, of course! it's like in Mission Impossible!

creeeeepyyy

Aja Jones can really manipulate a photo and made it as creepy as possible.. if i ever see these creatures around, i'd jump off my socks! found em at Abduzeedo.

don stretch yourself too far


trying is fine. trying too hard is fatal. there's no use in trying if you've damaged yourself. wasting efforts je.. coz you never get to enjoy the things you've done with the damages you've created.

like Left 4 Dead

  • it was saturday. i booked the obj test through my driving academy.. i said that i wanted to book the sunday session of the test. they said "okay, we'll book it for you. you just have to come to MyeG and take the test on sunday 8am.."
  • so i did.. i came to MyeG at 7.30am.. my Papa only gave me RM30 fo blanje makan ke ape..
  • STUPIDITY 1: they told me i wasn't registered! pehal plak?! dah book dah semalam! pastu call my driving school dea cakap "sorryla dek.. semalam offline la sampai sekarang.." i replied "nape x bgtau awal-awal?!" pastu letak tepon trus.. so i had to book balik kat MyeG tu and use my RM30 and another RM10 nak amek gamba.. ngn duet2 aku skali abess!
  • STUPIDITY 2: amek test.. failed! got 40/50.. need another 2 marks je to pass!
  • STUPIDITY 3: i wna book fo next session's test dah x dapat coz duet tadak! eee! kalau dah book awal i didn't have to sacrifice my money and still can book the next test

  • STUPIDITY 4: so i walked.. ntah bpe KM ntah! lagi jauhla MyeG tu frm Warta than Alamanda to my house.. pastu bile tgk Warta jauh nun kat depan tu, feels like i'm in Left4Dead No Mercy only i'm not Francis and not going to Mercy Hospital with no shotgun and wearing baju raya with flats.. with no zombies around either..

asyik wordpress je.. blogger takde template best2 ke?

ade! head on to Speckyboy's post on 50 Surprisingly Amazing Themes for Blogger. you will be thrilled to use it on your blog! it's not just for personal blog, you can use the template for photoblog, company blog, news blog, portfolio and more! here are some of the examples that i like:





GC Aquo Webby

oh, lupa nak upload these websites i did for MI aritu.. i made a simple website using Dreamweaver.. the theme is supposed to be Optical Illusion, but... i think i overlooked the theme and kinda went with the kind of website that i had in my head.. i used stylish glowy steel theme. guess i've been blurred by Apple's trademark effects.. i can't give you the url for the website coz we don't have a server for it. so these are the website print screens:

Index
the mainpage is pretty simple. the headline is "Experience Remarkably Detailed Visuals" suits the image being displayed. it means, you can see every detailed part of the Tarantula through GC Aquo Plasma TV screen which you can never see (or afraid to see) in real life. the body copy explains a little bit about the product and low price. it is important to grab the shopper's attention with it's affordable price because they can't get any cheaper price than that for a plasma tv.

bill, you're hillarious!

wasting your money is okay, just don't waste your talent! do what this guy did. alter that dude's face on your money!








that's already wasting $72.. see more money being wasted.
