Artist Impressions
my lecturer said that the booth is not perfectly matched so i have to redesign some of the stuff here to make it look like it has one theme. well, he's got a point. i probably have to make that Heart with Hole Sculpture on the stage look more nouveau since the others kind of have that style too.

he also told me to add more Copy in there. i know i should have, but my vocab sucks so i couldn't think any good ones when i was doing the thing in vector. plus, i don't know where to put them. i'll figure something out.

that IKEA and IJN Foundation logo is actually made of big Pyssla Beads. that's why they look pointilised. i should make them as pylons instead of pasting them on walls coz as what i was told you'll never know where your booth will end up to be build. to be safe, the things that i design should be able to be put anywhere. what if there's no wall around the booth? so i have to make it stand on its own.

I think I accidentally said that the reason why acoustic band is going to perform at night during the event is because the target audience is a melodramatic person. Eek. This is not the kind of answer I wanted to tell. I got panicked so I answered wrongly. It's actually because if there's rock band playing, it wouldn't suit the whole campaign mood and theme. It wouldn't suit the target audience too which are sensitive, passionate cheerful hand-crafters. Besides, the campaign is about helping kids. Sure kids are hyperactive but, this is about helping sick kids. So, I think it'll be best and more sincere and sensual to use acoustic performances to grab people's heart to lend a hand. That was what I really wanted to answer.

other than that, i believe it's going to be beautiful :) i tried playing around with Cinema 4D this week. i kinda have a rough start but, i think i can do it. gila baru try pakai dah kena buat benda utk FYP.. well, i can't put 3DsMax in my mac coz i dunno where to get it. so, had no other choice.

ok, people. fire up! say what you wna say bout my work.

Bead It
the thing i like the most about this website is the FOOTER! i love red and i love it when it makes each page become more vibrant. another thing i like is the Digital Peg Board Editor App (shown above) to make it easier for people to arrange their beads digitally so that they don't have to susah2 buat balik the whole shape if they make mistakes on the peg board.

it ain't easy to do that's for sure. especially the registration form page (not shown here)! it's a prick! but, i got a lot of help from Lah to do it.. connection to other people (even to people you rarely see or know) is vital when you're doing important project like this. thank you, Lah! i blom blanje u makan lagi kann? hehe.. tunggu ek..

we had to do two things for our minor projects. i did a website and TVC animatic. i've uploaded the animatics on Vimeo but something went wrong.. so i couldn't show it to you yet.

see all of the pages of Beads for Heartbeats website that i made for my minor FYP:

i've been holding this post for so long. i've put it on my portfolio, but haven't post it here. i've made lots of improvements last sem but that does not include my time management. i broke down a couple of times coz of this assignment. nevertheless, i'm glad i have a great group mate like Ecah to get me through the rough times. i was crying, but she didn't. she was strong and i was... bleuurghh... whatever.. i still can't believe we manage to do this thing. the first time i saw what the seniors had done for this assignment, i was like "whoa... we're gna do that too? are we gna be able to be as good as them? oh, no.. the lecturers said we're supposed to be BETTER! macamane niiiiii..." in the end, WE DID IT!! submitting this work is the best feeling i've ever had compared to the time when i've submitted other works.

Operation Smile re-branding

Operation Smile Logo
Logo Meaning
Operation Smile is an oraganization that provides a free surgery for children with cleft lips and other facial deformities. These children have insecurites, feelings of humiliation, outcast
and the most excrutiating part is not being able to show what normal children are defined as; happiness. These special children could not smile as good as other children do. Therefore, I want to make these children feel like they belong to this organization, it is their hope and home. The main point I want to achieve here is for them to feel happy each time they see Operation Smile logo.

I choose to incoorperate a clown face and a surgeon’s mask to collaborate the essence of Operation Smile’s main cause: to make the special children smile again by providing a free
surgery for them. The clown face with hidden nose behind the surgical mask is meant to make anybody who sees this logo laugh. This will nurture a warm feelings for the brand in the audience’s heart.

I didn’t want to make the logo too restricted with surgery because it will make the kids feel afraid of such thing. It is not my intend to make them think of scissors, doctors and cutting so much. I just want them to feel happy. I minimized the surgical elements by putting only a little bit of stittches on the drawn mouth on the surgical mask to hint the adults that Operation Smile specializes in giving free surgeries for the special kids.

Tagline Meaning
I chose the word “Repair” for the verb of the tagline because Operation Smile logo whould be able to tell the services that they offer to the public. The children born with facial deformities have longed for a saviour to help their face be normal again. It would change their whole world. Now, Operation Smile is here to help them by repairing their facial structure into a more normal look.


Stationary Items Design

i realized that most of my works will be either monotonous orange or green.. i found that orange is so expressive and happy. green has something to do with my birth colour or sumtin..

Off The Cuff Show!

interested? you are most welcome to see me and my friends perform TODAY! the flyer's last minute coz i've been pretty busy doing Corporate Identity. we've been preparing for this show for 9 weeks now. it's time to show what we've got! hehe..

i chose the name myself. hope you guys from the theater class are okay with it. i searched on Wikipedia about "Improvisation" and came across the term "off the cuff". it's basically a synonym for "Improvisation".

it's very hard to think of an illustration that have a connection with "Improvisation". could you think of any? i didn't want to just make a sad and happy face drawings like most theater posters and logo do. but, then i end up doing silly characters like in the poster. well, i was thinking of what do people do when they forget their lines or how they're supposed to act. maybe they'll act crazy / poyo2 sket / angry / sad.. haha.. xde kne mengena.. but, that's what i've came up with :p~

datang yea, kawan2! FREE je! makanan bawak sendiri hehe.. x bley makan pun kot dalam class tu.. the venue will be on STAD building 1st floor sbelah kanan if you enter from the back pathway.

repairing your smile

for Corporate Identity, i chose to re-design the Operation Smile logo, stationaries n merchandise. so far, i've only confirmed on the logo. tell me if it made you smile :)


what Operation Smile is all about?

Healing children's smiles. Making the world a better place.

At Operation Smile, we measure ourselves by the joy we see on children's faces. We're more than a charity. More than an NGO. We're a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

more info on Operation Smile's website. i'm gna update this post again after i've done the other stuff.

Save Electreecity!

Save Electreecity Campaign from mein melon on Vimeo.
i gotta say, this is one campaign that i'll never be tired of doing or fed up with. we've worked hard for it and it might not be THE best stop motion video or copywrite ever, but we did made a point of doing something different from what people expect we will do. we've definitely come out from our comfort zone by doing this tedious, exhilarating yet fun and less-typical approach on the global warming issue.

we hope that you enjoy viewing this rapid 37 seconds video as much as we enjoyed producing it. well, actually, we were only given 30 secs to make the video like everybody else, but, if we do that, maybe the message we want to tell wouldn't be understood well enough. we've put our best efforts in creating every detail of the video. oh! you HAVE to turn up the volume higher to feel the impact of the video, well, we hope so :)

here are some details on the campaign and video:

Our Mission
We are committed to educate the young minds about global warming and give them ideas on what causes global warming as well as telling them what they can do to stop it. It is simple. Reduce electricity usage, save the trees, save the Earth bits by bits from global warming. By using less energy, fewer amount of heat will be released into the atmosphere. This can save the trees, the most important living thing that help the continuing of normal process of the biological balance of nature.

It is time to stop being ignorant towards the planet we are living it.

The Idea behind the TV Commercial
We used toys to picture the situation of global warming in our TVC to show that people don’t treat global warming issue seriously. People know about the problem but, they don’t act like they do. The Bearbrick represents the ignorant, selfish and careless society of the youths today. The Bearbrick used an excessive amount of electricity by turning on the PC, radio, air-conditioner, television and all the other home appliances without turning them off when they’re not in use. This causes a short circuit to happen at the climax of the video, where all of the light bulbs burst as a result of overheating. In the end, what happens inside the house indirectly effects the area surrounding it, namely the environment. This means that the excessive use of electrical appliances especially the air conditioner emits noxious gases to the environment which encourages global warming. At the end of the video, the whole scene of the house is covered in a shade of red to depict the heat effect the Earth is taking in.

The Logo

The logo is an integration between electricity and a tree. There is a small opening on the top which resembles the piggybank hole. The logo basically says “save electricity, save the trees too”. The negative space besides the trees is shaped to look like a lightning bolt, which gives hint of ‘power’. The hierarchy of the lightning bolt, the tree, the root of the tree and the word ‘save’ clinging onto the roots of the tree is signifying that saving the electricity generates an a more eco-friendlier source of power and it is a root towards a better environment. The word ‘save’ is stylized to become a part of the wire to stress on the main message of the campaign which is save the electricity. The tree is a very important element of the logo too as without it, the reason for us pursuing this campaign could not be shown. We choose a more pointy tree to be used on the logo because the edges of the tree resembles the shape of a lightning bolt, which we use to symbolize electricity.
