My Bestfriend Birthday Card

I didn't get my bestfriend anything for her recent birthday. Haiz... pls don't tell me what a terrible bestfriend I've been. However I made her a card which I think is one of a kind but still not on time. She might have gotten used to it :)

This is the design of the card.

The main thing is to design the card each facing the opposite side. (Pardon my bad english)

And cut the circled line.

Update later...

PD Oral Defence

Last Wednesday was my PD Oral Defence. The first disastrous thing about it was deciding what to wear. I thought of wearing heels but I might not make it there. So I just put on of my Chuck Taylor with a cardigan over a tank. I know.

While waiting (after flipping through everyone's portfolio), I look right, look left & look right again & prayed a little. When I'm done, Shiping ask, "did you just chant?"

Then finally, it's my turn. I knock the door then dumbly greeted them, "Hi bosses! ;@ Shouldn't have done that. Chuan said, "erm... maybe during an interview, you shouldn't do that."

Questions

Assessor 1: Usually you pray in a certain direction. Did you take that direction into consideration when designing the cafe?

Answer: no.

Assessor 2: Did you ask your friend if this is how she wants her cafe to be?

Answer: no.

Today, Malissa sitting in front of me, suddenly gave and eerie laugh. That's because the PD result were released and she passed. Guess what? I passed too :)

Comments

Assessor 1: below average due to poor use of visual and graphic design principle. (agree)

Assessor 2: mostly graphic design. Should include of what she has learned in this diploma and should try apply interior design in a café to a real place. (agree)

Characters (Ilustrator)

I was suppose to create my characters using illustrator and since I can't create the characters that I had drawn using illustrator because I lack the talent, I decided to create characters like this instead using illustrator.This image is almost similar to the image that is introduced to me during illustration workshop. The difference are the shapes and the body.

This is the other character that I created. His name is Blue I because his eyes is so blue :)

Project Rice web layout

I was suppose to design the layout of Project Rice as part of PD and this is part of it. Design the layout of the website, not designing the website cos I tried using Premiere Pro but its just to hard for humble me.

On the bottom right I thought of putting an image of a bowl of rice and some other images wherever plus the information in the middle. Is it too simple?

Like these.

This is the page for the events on the website. Does "It's all about your bowls of rice" sounds nicer?

How should my name card look like?

I wanted to do a name card for myself and I did this, a plain background with black text. Really inspired by a friend Kamal. I was thinking of including "graphic designer" on it but I got self conscious cos I'm not exactly a designer :P

I did this one first before creating the plain one. Let me just show how I did it real quick.

Get a plain background on a name card size,

get a brush tool and start scribbling.

Continue scribbling...

until you get this.

Then just add a layer and start typing your text.
