true love tattoos

true love tattoo is totally wicked..
ever heard or thought of the idea of tattooing your pumping heart as a sign for love?
this site offers this service, whereby they'll operate and tattoo on the pounding heart, take a polaroid and sew it back.. all for a fee of 7500UK Pounds.
i supposed it's a viral website for a band's new album or something but it is a really wicked idea for promotion..

Architecture of Nature

my Graphic Design Final Project whereby we have to consider and implement theme of nature and urban fusing them into a single project.

As typed in my write-up on project:

"Drawing inspiration from the nature, this particular collection transforms the usual organic warmth of nature that we are familiar, into cold technical drawings against the background of grid paper, resembling that of a blueprint for architectural and engineering use. The drawings are set beside the close-up Nature photography to create the contrast.

The choice of translucent tracing paper material allows viewers to overlay the drawings against a lit background of the lightbox, which will provide them the experience of sieving through the most fundamental forms of nature (like how we examine x-rays); and breaking down the context and redefining the term ‘man-made’. By bringing the technical drawings and close-up photographs of nature together, this project aims to pull the two of extreme definitions of ‘man-made’ and ‘nature’ together and form only a blur line that separate between the two."

the layout on the grading/showcase day itself..

FreeAgent

submitted my idea/design for locker to FreeAgent Locker Competition. do vote for my work at the following site if you have the time: FreeAgent Inspire (Page 8).

Although I found it crappy that the file I sent was reduced to such a small resolution and cropping on the site itself (see below). wondering that it would be unfair to those who did really intricate details that could not be shown on the site itself..

telok ayer

some photos taken in telok ayer, after the trip to botanical gardens.. with some pseudo lomo-effects picked up online (yep i know they dont really look like it but watever.. )

360 exhibition

coming to end of semester, we put up an exhibition in ADM under the environmental design module. after so much brainstorming, planning, rejections and blah, the final exhibition was finally up.

linking up 3 consecutive rooms at basement of ADM with a special viewing spot from the sunken plaza we bring you - 360o



splitting into the Red room: Brainstorming, where everything is in a whirl; participants get to write notes and stick up on fishing lines attached all over the room.
Blue room - Retrospection / Reflection. A special room where visitors can see live feed flashed onto the walls, from the actions in the two adjacent rooms left and right.
the walls have eyes...
Lastly Yellow room- where everything is in orderly fashion, when "suddenly something hits" and tada.. a room displaying all our portfolios for people to browse through what we have done over the semester.
and everything will be viewed from the sunken plaza, where the reception is held. with all booze, snacks and thumbing music, for all to sit back and chill. visitors can also write on one of the light lanterns which works as our guestbook, and float them off the waters surrounding the sunken plaza.my first time participating in exhibition. a great show indeed..!

bookmark

a book mark assignment for typography, that is supposed to be modeled after a book. I based on Bee Season, a novel by Myla Goldberg, which I never completed even though it is relatively thin. Yes. I am a really slow reader. I guess too much religious context within content does not help too.

did it in format of honeycomb where the typography is made up by the blacks of the unfilled honeycombs..

the bee returns to it's hideout at the back of bookmark..bzzzz

multi-page marking
