And down below old memories come alive
—
in DesignIf there’s any other stop-motion out there worth spending some minutes watching it’s THIS. Even as an advertisement, this was pretty much genius. The stop-motion is not an original technique anymore BUT the challenge lies in how to use stop-motion to present something that can still be called unique. This would have been perfect for…

When is Mother’s Day?
—
in LiveSince my long-term memory is malfunctioning, I can’t remember when exactly Mother’s Day is. But I know it’s in May. I love my mom; we’ve never gotten into a serious mother-daughter fight. Actually, despite my tendencies to lean towards rebellion, disobedience, and dishonesty, I’m still a pretty-obedient kid. Or maybe my mom and I just…

If I won’t have a career in design…
—
in LiveLately I’ve started to consider other options for my future. Assuming I have one, well. I’m so insecure about my poor design skills; I think I’ve been left behind by even more talented people so in the possibility that I fail in trying to get into the design/creative/ad industry, I’ve decided that I could instead…

Traveling multiplied by lethargy
—
in TravelKeeping myself in PGP in multiple attempts to force myself to study, not even logging in on MSN and YIM for a week, contributes very little to my academic life. In short, traveling had evaporated most of my drive to study. I have done almost no “reading” during Reading Week. Going to Phuket, Thailand from…

AdStrat project over!
Finally, our AdStrat presentation is done! We had our weakness but I think the prof liked our idea anyway. Which makes me excited because maybe advertising will actually be fun, if you’re working with the right people. My group mates are just awesome (except for one guy who was stupid enough to plagiarize his part…

Design Currency
—
in DesignI think this is an amazing video, promoting Design Week Vancouver whose theme is “Design Currency.” Although we were talking about transactional art in Cyber Arts class yesterday, this uses “currency” in a different context: value of design. And it’s not that easy. When we went to the Singapore Art Museum and to another exhibit…

Stop!motion
—
in LiveI’m editing a simple stop-motion for Island Creamery as part of our advertising project in AdStrat class. But it’s just REALLY simple. Not even something quite as good as this: Still, I’d like to do a bit more of stop motion with some friends when I get back. It’s not as easy as it looks…

I miss being part of a production
—
in DesignThis is one of the AVPs Gino P. (Indioboy Productions) and his team made (with which I did production design for!): I really, really miss being part of a production team. There’s this group in my Cyber Arts class (you can say we make videos, but it’s more…inclined to art than anything else) and they’re…

Things are going to get crazy
—
in DesignWith Photoshop developing Content-Aware Fill, any 2nd grader can edit their photos and no one will need a professional photographer or editor anymore. Photography “skills” will be a thing of the past. It’s sad, it’s crazy, it’s terrifying. Meanwhile, I realized my portfolio is so lame. I’m so lame. I don’t have any designs you’d…
