aesthetics

Hybridstore> Check out de New items!

One friend of mine mentioned this:
"I think our designs focus too much on meeting the objective and
loses its creativeness"
-Yew Cheng

Another friend mentioned this too:

"Good designers copy, great designers steal" -Silva

Whatever it is, It's up to one to believe or interpret. My thoughts would be, almost ALL designers copy and steal ideas from sources within their perimeter but it's up to them to modify, interpret, change or renew the original to a new concept of their own.

-You Judge.

2. Revamping my room. Finally got my personal space ever since my brother moved out last year. So here goes a little spring cleaning after removing his bed plus the cabinet..
Photobucket
Just look at the layers of my wall after the old cabinet was removed. First color painted was a lighter shade of blue and than a darker one, followed by leaf green.

Photobucket
I realised that black/white has overwhelmed the colors of my clothes. Guess I need more colored tees and shirts!

This concludes all personal thoughts from Sep - Nov 2009.

Mediums: 120gsm recycled paper, 70gsm printing paper, Ink,
Pencils, Printed type and Dye-Cut.

Here floating within the darkest moment, showcases an imaginary portrait of an artist, as freedom he can be as before. Still hanging strong, while facing terrible mental stress, physical damages and depression that some species had caused without hesitation.
This monotonous piece of work was crafted in the midst of hatred.
"Love it or Hate it".

mic KEY

Photobucket


This political icon, Mickey mouse had a very long history behind him. Created by the Americans back in the 1928. Where Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, was the first "Mickey" created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney in the 1920s and 1930s.


Photobucket

In 1930, The German Board of Film Censors prohibited showing a Mickey Mouse film because they felt the kepi-wearing mouse negatively portrayed the Germans and would "reawaken the latest anti-German feeling existing abroad since the War". A mid 1930s German newspaper article even stated :



"Mickey Mouse is the most miserable ideal ever revealed...Healthy emotions tell every independent young man and every honorable youth that the dirty and filfth-covered vermin, the greatest bacteria carrier in the animal kingdom, cannot be the ideal type of animal...Away with Jewish brutalization of the people! Down with Mickey Mouse! Wear the Swastika Cross!"


Art Spiegelman used this quote on the opening page of the second volume of his comic Maus II.

This anthropomorphic mouse has evolved from being simply a character in animated cartoons and comic strips to become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world.

Not surprised. For myself, I'm not a 'very' Mickey Mouse fan but I like it's aesthetics and it's simplicity over the complexity thingy. Confused? okays, Mickey looks simple yet complex. Got what i meant? Anyways.. I've found 2 collectables on 18Nov (Walt Disney's Birth), while I'm searching for a place to dine in early in the morning at "PO MO" (paradiz centre) with ben.

Here's the 2 collectables I've got for my Birthday this year.

Happy Birthday to myself! Poor me, this month isnt a smooth month for me though. Assessments, missed lots of gatherings and lastly, my immune system dropped to zero due to stress and got Shingles. Which made me having the difficulty to Sleep, to shower, to concentrate and etc.

At least its recovering! I've been staying awake for almost 48 hours last 2 days just because of the project submissions yesterday. I'm worn out but it's worth it though. Here's my set up and Im lovin' it.

I love this part of my whole set up. Why? coz i spend almost 4 days without sleep just by printing this booklets at home using my poor little Epson printer. Requested for a High resolution Print, it took at least 3 - 4 mins just to print one page.
Imagine I've 38 pages for each book. But, I've wasted approx. 100 pieces of paper and 1 set of ink (color n black) just because of little errors like; Wrong alignment and typo errors.! ARGH.
OH well, for this semester, Ive spent that much!

$28.50 - 200 pieces of 120 gsm Smooth white Naturalis Paper
$50.00 - 100cm x 100cm map; First draft
$40.00 - 100cm x 100cm map; Final draft
$10.75 - 2 pieces of Bienfang White Foam board; A2 size
$6.35 - 3 pieces of Sticker Foam board; A3 size
$96.00 - 2 cartridges of my Epson Printer ink
$2.50 - 1 Pen knife
Benjamin says "This semester our
money is like; Mysteriously gone"
I just like this sentence! HAA.

Sharks!*..Ha-li-lu-yah~ I can get a couple of Tee-shirts, probably a new phone or a new bag... I really hope LASALLE can subsidise our spends.. Well at least its for our projects right?!

oh well i should thanks a few people to make this project a success? i might say. Waijun, Calvin, Weiyi, Yanxiang, Benjamin, Rayz, Terence, Adeline, Silva, Angela, Fahana, Kat, PeiRu,
Its time to celebrate!
Current status: relieved, resting mood.
