画画与设计。简单与科技。


从小就爱画画。
常常看着日本漫画,模仿着作者,用铅笔在画纸上画出一张张的日本美少女。
后来到六年级,开始和同学们用原子笔在作业簿画长连漫画。
也许当时看太多爱情小说,内容也离不开这个方向。很可惜,那本作业簿也不懂到哪里去了。印象中,好象是被老师没收了。

长大后,因是理科生,有想过要当医生药剂师,却放不开我最爱的艺术。最后选择了多媒体,想的是我依然可以艺术联系,毕业后也不怕找不到工作,因为那时 IT 还蛮吃香的。
接触到多媒体后,艺术有了多层次的表现。用电脑软件创作出一幅幅动感十足的作品,还可以与和它们做出互动 (Interactive)。

从毕业到从事多媒体工作多年,我慢慢地与我的笔,水彩,油彩脱节。
忽然很想念那时 无拘无束地画画的小时候。
现在翻回以前的画本,我才发现它们已经被我遗忘许久。

人长大了,看见了很多,拥有了许多;却不知觉失去了原有。

现在当我想拿起画笔时,所担心的是画得不好看。原来我的画工从我停笔开始,就不再进步。
就算我可以用电脑设计出多么精彩的画,却不能用我的画笔在画纸上呈现出来。

回家乡过年时,在被遗弃很久的衣橱里发现在中学时为 Persatuan Bahasa Melayu设计的 T-shirt。
这是我用笔,木颜色和魔术笔画在纸上,直接交给T-shirt印刷商,打印出来的。

Persatuan Bahasa Melayu T-shirt

还记得以前的宣传布条是我们用铅笔和 Pelaka 一笔一笔地涂画出来的。完成了这么大的布条,心里是满满的满足感。现在的只需在电脑设计,然后发送给数码打印商,十几块大布条就出来了。

以前那么简单的东西,现在却因经历了科技的复杂而失去了它。
也许是时候回头,看看以前纯朴的自己,再看看现在的自己遗失了一些什么。
我遗失了我那爱画画简单的心。
希望现在的我不会发现得太迟,可以重新寻找再拥有它。

Passage Thru India


和部门的同事们到了 Passage Thru India 用餐.
当然,钱是老板出的啦。


食物当然不在话下, 美味到不得了。
除此之外,我非常喜欢餐厅的装潢。
一直都梦想着我将来的家或房间是印度式的,透纱窗帘和床帐,
透纱缝珠的灯罩。。。
参考一下布置装潢,也不错一下。 :">


Menu 的设计有放 Outer Glow, 拍照时 Menu 好像在放光。

很特别的灯罩。
天花板和墙壁的 color combination 也很特别。

Hidden Images In Logos

During my University time, I came across a book that talks about logo design.
It is very interesting to know that there are hidden images or messages in a logo design. I was so amused by the creativity that a / the designer can have.

Here is something to share about the hidden images in logos, quoted from Yahoo! & Divine Caroline :


FedEx


This logo appears to be very simple, but if you look at the white space between the "E" and "x" in “Ex," you'll find it is more complex than you thought. Can you spot the arrow?

Tostitos

These popular party chips are a staple at many backyard BBQs, but chances are, you've never noticed the hidden celebration scene concealed within the letters. The second and third "t’s" are sharing a chip over an "i" that is dotted with a salsa bowl. Yum!


Le Tour de France
Named the world's most famous and prestigious cycling race, bike-lovers and non-cyclists alike are familiar with the event's emblem. However, you might be missing out on the logo's most interesting aspect. After careful examination, you'll notice an image of a person riding a bicycle; the yellow circle is the front wheel and the r is the body.


Amazon.com
Amazon.com has become a go-to source for electronic commerce. Clearly there is an arrow under Amazon, but have you ever thought about its significance? Take a look at where the arrow begins and ends: a and z.
This secret message seems to conveys that Amazon offers everything from A to Z!


Hershey's Kisses
The Kisses logo doesn’t have much to it, but if you look at it sideways, you might see a chocolate kiss formed between the K and the I.


Toblerone
There’s a slightly obscured bear within the Matterhorn Mountain if you look closely. That’s because the candy bar hails from Bern, Switzerland, a city supposedly named for a bear.


Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

The tree stands out almost immediately, but if you give the image more than a cursory glance, the designer’s remarkable use of white space becomes clear. There’s a lot of life in this logo, which makes it perfect for a zoo-aquarium combination.



Recently, I have created a logo for a creative production group named Wave In Art.
Based on the concept of the hidden images, I have came out the logo proposals below :

Since the group name is called Wave In Art, I have created "waves" to form into "A" shape which brings out the meaning of "wave inside the art".

Luckily, the group leader likes the idea and after some tweaking, below will be the final logo design :

我们做设计的

转载自朋友的Email.
读了这个Email后,我立刻想和所有的人分享,因为这真的是我们做设计这一行的辛酸,每一句都刺到我的心里去了。

朋友,做设计真的不是 “很簡單的,隨便弄一下就行了,很快的” 这么简单。
如果是这么简单,不如你自己来做啦。。。

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

朋友開飯店,你吃飯他收錢,大家覺得理所當然。
朋友開文具店,買文具他收錢,大家覺得理所當然。
朋友 開服裝店,買衣服他收錢,大家覺得理所當然。
朋友做設計,收錢,大家會覺得“這個朋友怎麼那麼吝嗇”

飯店打折,大家說:“這個朋友真好”
文具打折,大家說:“這個朋友真大方”
服裝打折,大家說:“這個是真夠朋 友”
設計打折,大家會覺得“這個朋友有點小氣”

飯店說: “以後來我這吃飯,全免費!”大家說:“不行!你是做生意 的”
文具說:“以後來我這買文具,隨便拿!”大家說:“不行!不 合情理 的”
服裝說:“以後來我服裝店,全部任穿!”大家說:“不行!哪 好意思啊”
設計師:“以後有什麼設計就找我 幫手!”大家說:“好的,謝謝啦!”

大家看到物質,看到飯菜,看到文具,看到服裝,認為這些都 是要錢購買的。

但有一種行業,大家都看不到它的物質與勞動,就是設計。

當大家看到一張紙,印 著一個LOGO時,便認為這只是一張有圖案的紙。

其實,設計師的那張紙,就是飯菜,就是文具,就是服裝,就是生存的手段。


飯店靠飯菜為生。
文具店靠文具為生。
服裝店靠服裝為生。

同樣,設計師就是靠設計為生。

當大家吃了飯,買的東西,穿了衣服時,便大大方方的付款。
當大家讓朋友做設計的時候,卻只是說“很簡單的,隨便弄一下 就行了,很快的”。
我想告訴你們,設計師們已經聽了上萬個朋友說同樣的這句 話。

現實上,設計師的這“隨便弄一下”,卻是更比那碟飯菜,那支筆,那件衣服,來的更苦更累。出賣的不是那幾元的成本,而是精力,是健康,是體力,是腦力,是消耗生命。只是設計師都躲在深夜的房間裡付出,大 家都看不到,

到大家看到的時候,就成了大家認為的幾個色塊而已。

設計師很善良,不敢跟大家說“不”,因為說了“不”,就成了吝嗇的人。

設計師很善良,幾秒鐘的“沒問題”,換來識幾個晝夜的通宵生命消耗。

設計師很善良,什麼都答應大家,因為你們是我們的好朋友。

所以,希望你們也要尊重我們的勞動成果。

Here is the tutorial I found online which I think it might me useful for all of us when it comes to hair cropping works:
