i realised i haven't been putting up pictures of my works. haha. but then there's not been anything very interesting. chrystal inspired me to put up more of my work here at scad because it makes her feel warm and fuzzy, so here it is. dedicated to you chrystal!! feel my love as a good and wonderful friend!! 

here are my first 2 graphic design projects. 

this was our pictogram project where we were supposed to design pictograms for 10 different places in a city. 

then for our second graphic design project we had to incorporate an element into a word to convey its meaning. My word was fresh. 
yep. our next project is a logo design where we get to go around town scouting for the bad and horrible logos and give them a make over. this requires the combination of the first 2 graphic design projects. woohoo..fun-ness :)

anyways, i realised one thing about several classmates. i found it rather annoying that all of them try to be "original" and "different" through the wrong ways. Graphic design is a practical job and though you want to stand out of the crowd, it has to fit what the project requirements demand and function. during many critiques I hear alot of them saying that they chose a particular color because most street signs were whatever color like green or blue or that they didn't want to use whatever color because other people were using them. It's one thing about doing something different, but do it not for the sake of just standing out. Although i used a basic green for the street sign and remained boring, it's because these are street signs and they need to be clear and visible for drivers during both day and night. it's not just the color green, but you have to consider the tone and shade in comparison to the surroundings. these people are really annoying me...grahhhhh...just had to rant....

on another note, despite it being mid-terms, things have been rather slack. i guess it helps that my graphic design studio class has projects off the usual mid term schedules so all i have to focus on are the exams for psychology and speech. 

Being mid terms at art school, it's technically supposed to be the sleepless week and hence, my psychology professor gave us the task of keeping a sleep journal to record down our sleep patterns and our dreams. 

the first night alone, i had about 10 - 11 hours of sleep throughout the night. which is seriously more than what i need. hahaha. plus...it felt so good cos i had an epic dream. 

i dreamt that there was this super microchipped tooth that i had to save and apparently it was grace teo's. haha. WTH. anyhows. i saved it from the bad guy who had evil pet monkeys like in the cartoons. and i brought it back to the base where grace teo was. and the two of us were awarded with power ranger status. WOO HOO! so we went around rescuing people. hahaha. 

anyhows. second part of the dream, i found myself in a wheel chair even though i can walk. i guess it brought me around places faster. haha. and i could fly in it. so one day i was chasing after this bad guy and i ran on my wheelchair so fast that i flew, but i couldn't control it. but anyhows, i caught up with the bad guy..except for the fact that his badness was rather ambiguous. like he was after something or had good intentions but i thought he was after me and i tried all means and ways to get rid of him, including an epic pen battle in a tunnel air vent where i stabbed him multiple times in the chest and tried to skewer his kidneys with a pen :S it was kinda gross, but i had to do it for protection. so i left him and his weak body in the vent to die but he didn't and he ended up in jail. I went to visit him to make sure he was caught and mocked him but then next thing i knew he had escaped!! and btw. these jail cells were like EPIC SPACE JAILS. they had those automatic air tight doors like in space ships and u had a long tunnel/chute that led up to the cell. apparently this guy broke through the door and was out running to make his revenge on me!! *deng deng deng dennggggggg* 

so i panicked and ran and tried to hunt him down or hide and i saw him running behind me so i ran into the library in the jail (WTH?!?!) and they had to see my ID so i showed them my ez link card but they wouldn't accept it cos somehow my photo had missing parts! so i frantically dugged my IC out but it had the same problem. and they let the evil man in. apparently he shrank to the size of mini me and he was now bald too. he was originally tall and wearing a black suit...like men in black. hahaha. anyhows. they let him in because he was short and below the height limit for ID check. WTH!!!! so i held him by the head away at arms length so he couldn't attack me! oh gosh...

haha it was so fun. i felt so alive and excited when my alarm rang. hahahaha. i love my dreams. night time is adventure time for me...WHEEEEEEE :D :D :D 

on a side note, my primary 3 form teacher found me on facebook and sent me a msg to say hi. WTH?!?! PRIMARY 3 leh..that's like....11 years ago?!?!1 OH CRAP...i am old. -___-
