Multimedia Navigation Project-Storyboard

Hey all,

it's the end of my foundation course in RMIT! soo I'm officially in a 3 months holiday now :)
Soo, just wanna show you one of my last projects, which we got to make a storyboard from a folklore or fable from our own country, so i chose the story of mouse deer and crocodile (kancil dan buaya) haha.. They way i did it was i sketched and colored my characters manually then added the background in the computer.. Here goes,






























































































I am well aware that some of the image masking is not raeally good, but i did retouch it manually after it was printed to fix the stuff, but well these are the computer generated photos, so excused the some of the bits..
How do u guys find it?

after 9 months

It's been 9 months since I'm in Melbourne. Melbourne so far has been cold, freezin, freakingly freezin, then cold, cool, warm, warmer, suddenly hot, breezy, hot and on and on.. The Uni works have been awesome, awesomely tiring, annoying, good, okay, and sometimes alright, but always great in the end. The people have been nice, friendly, weird, ignorant, some well ...... maddening. The moments had made me silently cursed 'stupid!' at times, laughed 'silly' at another, grinned too wide till my jaw hurt, stressed so much that i pulled my hair out, amazed that I stood open-mouthed for few minutes, tiring that i yelled 'Oh, God!' ridiculously to everything .

I'll be going home, well visiting home soon, in December. I'm so excited, but then a thought crossed my mind, I'm not gonna see Melbourne in quite a long time, I'm gonna miss it soo bad. Then i wondered, how long does it takes to make you attached to something or someplace? 9 months? :)

Video: What papers do, another experimentation



okay, two videos in one day :).. Another experiment, this time with papers. I colored the paper myself to make a nice effect when it folds and crumples. Just write away what do you think?

Captured: boxboard construction





Hello, those are boxboard construction for my clay making concept. Just thinking to show you some shots that I tought quite pleasing. Looking forward for your comments!

Yearbook cover




Foundation studies is ending and we're gonna have our yearbook soon. So guess what, it's one of the project for design students to make the cover! Up there, is mine obviously. The concept is how foundation studies is like a watering can, helping students to realize and develop their potential, sort of. Not gonna talk long, thats all haha.. oh yeah, the arielvictor thingy on the bottom, is not suppose dot be there, its just for the sake of acknowledgment to me of course for the web hehe.. Comments? Most appreciated! :)

Video: Not anymore, a stop-motion experimentation

One morning when I wasn't asleep..

Hi,
it's been really long since the last post isn't it?
Well lets just say those posts earlier is a first-timer excitement :)
and now, everything's kinda settled, school, assignment, work..
Feel like I have to do everything, so that's why ...

Anyway, this morning, just got home from the grueling shift at work, it turns out to be a wonderful day..
It's becoming colder and colder here since the last time I came, winter is peeking behind the falling leaves haha, and that leaves me struggling with daily temperature that's not more than 15, well the bright side is, ... I get to wear jackets everyday , mmm NOT REALLY that good tough. missed the warm sunshine and missed wearing shorts..

Woow, I sure know how to talk beond the topic haha, what I wanna tell u is that now it's often foggy here, and that's what happens this morning :)
It's subtly beautiful when I came to think about it, the fog, hiding something behind it, seems to be calling you to see what's in there haha, Oh I dont know either why I became so poetic this morning, maybe is the dreamy state that I'm in cos of the lack of sleep haha..

Really wish I have time to go around the neighborhood in a day like this, but I need my sleep haha..
Keep on visiting, I may showcase some of my work when i have time hehe..
Have a good day!

can u find a hot air baloon in the photo?

what to do?

It's easter break, meaning I got a week holiday..
Anyway, it's seems not so "wohooo" anymore when i found out that i have nothing to do..
Well, yeaa, I made some plans with friends but its not like we goin out everyday..
So here I am in a day with nothing to do, tried to do some assignments, not feel like finishing it though. I managed to finished a couple of works, hmm the others? Later haha..

Well, anyway somehow I felt like sketching using my drawing pad, haven't done that in a long time.. It got quite fun as i started drawing though haha, I was just playing around drawing everything nearby. I might do this again when I get bored :)





































Well, not bad is it for a 'play-around' thing?
Haha, ok then, that's it for this time :)

Postcard project

Hey all, just wanna show you my postcard project..

Hmm so far haven't got any stories to tell just like when i first got here.. Stuck in my room doing homeworks and assignments hahaa.. But now's the easter break!! I'll let u know if I bump into an interesting thing during my break..


tadaa, how's it?? mm quite a lot of work doing this bcause different from the way i taught to do something in UMN.. Here we always spend a lot of time doing research and preliminary tasks.. Like for this one, I'm supposed to try out making composition using black paper on white, newspaper prints, black and white photo first before my final postcard.. Hmm and we're supposed to do oral presentation after each final project.. That's when we supposed to show all of our research and trials and tell everybody how those helps in making the final..

Ok, leave comments whenever u like :)











YOU HAVE TO KNOW!
aussies always pronouce everything ending with oo sound in their particular way.. (some kind like oowwr)
ex. know => knoooowwr
no => nooowr

haha, but not too exaggerate.. Kept wonderin how they could make that kind of sound haha *trying haha

till next time :D

Switch Me!

Hi, i was just checking designboom.com when I see this article.. Designed by josselin zaigouche, it says that this creation is more about a metaphor of the pain that the planet has to suffer from human's wasteful habit :I Hmmm, it does make you think twice whether to switch it or not right??

That's how art speak I guess??

Design Communication-Abstraction

Hey2, bberapa hari yg lalu dikelas gw blajar abstraction gtu haaa.. Pertamanyaa dsuru gambar objek didepan kita secara abstract artinya disederhanakan dan disimplekan ke bentuk dasar yaah gtu deh.. Trus katanyaa abstract yg kali ini coba deh objeknya masih bisa dikenalin.. Yaa gw gambar aja.. Lama2 dsuru gambar muka temen diabstrakin, mmm agak bingung jadinyaa.. Bener yaa kalo abstrak muka org bisa masih bisa dikenalin?? Bedanyaa sama karikatur tipiss banget ya ga sih?? Hmmm gw pun berusaha menggambar sperti picasso ahahaa, cieeh, maksudnyaa itu anggota wajah dimencong2in sperti ngeliat muka dr berbagai view point.. Apa kalo picassso gambar org, tu org masi bisa dikenalin?? Hmm who knows? hahaha just curious.. This tiny bit of curiosity and confusion keeps on flying around my head as the class progressed and ended.. Hmm anyway these are my drawings, what do you think??? haha
