Week 14

this will be the last week for the semester...i still can't get used to it...still thinking that next week we will still having class...nvm...XDD

This is the most important thing i've learn from UTAR

in the past, i always the SOLO man, i don't often rely on others.
i never believe a group working on 1 design will be eazier...

however, in the Degree life, things get tough and tougher...
everything seems to be heavy on my shoulder...

Luckily, there are a group of friend always there for me...
lol, not to say FOR ME, we were there for each other...supporting each others' back...

i learn that, a designer need no necessary to work alone
working in a group, we can share the task, share the pressure, share the happiness and share the GLORY!!!

Week 13

i just realized there is a way to achieve creativity
is to break the stereotyping

usually when people talk about a story of a princess, the 1st idea comes to our mind will be, the princess is weak and being protected, spoilt, rich and most importantly is innocent.
people will feel boring with this kind of story, is like, we already know what will be going on next.
 the story will not be attractive...

 FOR EXAMPLE...Hunts man and the snow white
they twisted the storyline in another way, to give the audience a new and fresh thing, they will think that the impression of princess is suppost to be like this and that, however it isn't something they expected, but beyond their expectation.

same with the picture above, red hood, cindarella and snow white, the image has twisted the other way round, which give a new idea towards the audience...they will feel like..."oh whatz that??" they will have the interest to continue the story...

however it still depends on who are the target audience, like the previous assignment we did, storybook for children, the idea and creativity is some how limited... like the picture above will not be suitable to kids...

Week 12

The picture above is about a great designer, giving advises to the young designers
although i don't know who is this guy, i'm totally agreed with what he had said to us

im not going to elaborate 1 by 1, but just focusing on 1 of the lesson
"3.Get off the computer and connect with real people and culture"
"life is viceral"

in this generation, people are carrying electronic devices like smart phone tablet laptop everywhere...
even when we are having meal together, it is easy for us to notice that there will be atleast 1 of the gang will stare at the phone...
it breaks the connection between them and the world...

to be able to do good designs, we need to learn more, see more, and to adapt it without stereotyping

week 11

This is a graphic about a character from a Japanese Manga called Naruto
i started to read this manga since when i was in primary school...almost 9 years i've read...
at 1st i was reading it just for entertaining...as i grow older, i read it for learning...
learn something that parents, and teachers don't teach...

i witness the growth of the Naruto
since when he was a young naughty, but ambitious kid
growing up to be a responsible, helpful youth
that willing to sacrifice himself for the peacefulness and justice, for his country, for the world...

from the picture above you can see from left to right
he is growing up, obtaining new ability and using it in a correct way...
the process of life is strange, as day goes on, we have to grow, to be much mature than the old us...

the main key of growing, is to be able to accept challenges
have aim, and trying our best to achieve it...




Week 10

There is a game on facebook call Tetris Battle.
quite a number of my friends are playing this game, this is a nice and excited game i would say
this is the interface of the game.
and just before a couple minutes, i have arrived God of Tetris in both 2P and 6P
what im trying to say here isn't about how good i can play
i bet there will be a lot more people outside that are above me...
in fact, i actually learn something from this game.

for those who played this game before they should know, if 1 of ur piece placed wrongly
this game would be difficult to continue...needless to say defeating the opponent.
what i can say is, always place faith in ourselves, think positive when we are facing difficulties...
life is tough like tetris, as when we place the piece wrongly, it would be a disaster...
but if such accident exist, don't be tention and don't know what to do..
in fact we should stay calm and try our best to solve the problems before we lose the game...

if we are lost without trying to win, thats the disaster...
