publication design makes me go dizzy

Dear Sumire,

Here's a magazine assignment I made for Publication Design. It's tiring when you'd to come up with a 16 page magazine design is less than 2 days (thanks to my missing laptop). I presented it today, and my lecturer seems satisfied. Hopefully I didn't read her expressions wrongly. I'm really tired with so much work to do. There's more to be done, and I'm afraid I cannot make it in time. :-(

Anyway, here it is. I embedded the a pdf file here, so you guys can view it in fullscreen. It might be a little slow, due to the large file size. Comments are appreciated. Thank you. :-P

Continue to do the rest of my assignment lo =(

blogging kat mamak

Dear Sumire,

Today I want to blog in rojak language. Malas lah wanna think about grammar and this and that and this and that, and this and that. I blur oledi, so dun blame me if u think you dun understand what the hell on earth I’m talking about. LOLX

I’m supposed to be working my ass off at this moment, but then here I go, blogging kat mamak, or what they call bistro here in shah alam. I feel like if I can, I want to just buat muker tak kisah about the presentation for Brand Identity tomorrow, but I can’t. so that’s exactly the reason why I’m here at mamak with my two group members, supposingly doing our respective task, but I dunno la. We’re just here while people around here are shouting “GOAL! YAY! Ahh!” while watching the soccer match on tv. Dunno plak whu lawan whu. Tak kisah. Not a bola fan anyway.

Supposingly working la on assignments. But sempat take ss picture. LOLX.

SS. LOLX. you can tell how tired we are by the bengkak under our eyes.
But we can always smile for the camera.

Ekin yang RAJIN.

Tunisha yang SERIOUS.

Kak Ai and some unknown random guy.
She sat just hind me. She mengacau saja actually.

Kk. Back to work.
Before they start to plan a homicide sebab i tak buat kerja.

i really hate you

Dear Sumire,

There’s no other song to represent my feelings right now, except for this:

"Don't Stay"



Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need YOU to stay away from me
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need YOU to go

Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What YOU were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all Your faithlessness with YOU
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay

Sometimes I feel like I trusted YOU too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need to be alone

I don’t need YOU anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of YOU wasting me away
I don’t need YOU anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of YOU wasting me away

With no apologies

DON'T STAY!

Yes! I hate YOU! YOU’re wasting all my time away! YOU make my life miserable! Aku benci KAMU! Hate YOU! Damn YOU!

Yes YOU! ASSIGNMENTS!

Frustrated with too many thing to do,

too busy

Dear Sumire,

I wish I could post an entry sooner, but I'm really very busy at the moment. Assignment workloads are pulling the life out of me. Pray for me, so that I can pull through this obstacle. I'm beginning to cough again, which is irritating because I'm coughing so hard the pain goes all the way to my head.

That's all for now. I wish I could write more, but I'm running out of time. I'll post a lengthy post once i got the chance. Once all these works and burden is relieved off my shoulder.

*cough cough*

Yours truly,

assignments

Dear Sumire,

I wonder why I have never ending assignments. The lecturers seem to enjoy this. One of them lecturers even asks us to make her a magazine. In like a week or so? God, save us all. Most of us have hardly started anything even though the deadline is almost there. And there’re more written assignments undone!

I better stop blogging and start being hardworking now..

Tired.
Jin.

My woRk iS fiNaLLy doNe

My assignments, my presentations, my projects, all are submitted. All accomplished. Now that everything is finally done, I’m felt relieved!

While I was rushing against time to finish my works, AJ got ‘diu’ me a bit. She said I never gave any credits to those who help me in doing my tasks. I cannot credit them in my written assignments, so I credit them here in my blog k?

AJ helped me a lot in my written assignments. She did my PR report for me, and many other written assignments, while I am busy doing my designs. Can say every piece of my written assignment also she’s involved. Especially my forum’s presentation script, and my PR report. That two pieces of writing are purely her work. I’m just giving her the guidelines and taddaaaaa... The work is done! Besides that, I also had her criticize my artwork. She’d been very helpful. All my works she said not nice. So, everything has to be redesign again. Hahaha... But it’s good lah. I feel that there’re improvements to the designs. Thanks a lot!!

So, actually, there’re only 2 subjects that got me so busy for the past weeks. Digital 3D Design, and Digital Illustrations. Well, 3D is a headache for me. I’m relatively weak in modeling, and the process sucks. Our lecturer Mr. Shahruddin assigned us with only four 3D models to make, but still we cannot submit the work in time.

The 4 items he assigned us to complete are:

(i) Apple

(ii) Hammer

(iii) Hand

(iv) 3D character

And what I submitted is definitely not so similar with what he wants. Hahahaha... I gave him:

A cherry?

A definitely distorted hammer

Kayu papan-style-hand

And...I dunno what this is. You tell me?

As for Digital Illustration, I am assigned to design a concert ticket. And for final project, I have to redesign a children’s storybook.

The ticket is a total reboot after AJ said the original design sucks badly. But I can’t show you the original design because it sucks so bad, I didn’t even bother to complete it.

This is how it looks like after the reboot. It’s disappointing because the figures in front are not clear on print. Ah... I forgot to label the front and the back. The one with black surface is the front. The white one with loads of logos and the map is the back.

When I say I’m to redesign a children’s story book, I mean I’d to improve the design of the story book. I don’t really know what to do. So, I choose to extract the text as it is, and re-illustrate the whole thing. You really should read the children storybook. I never thought that I would read such a piece of rubbish. The illustration is really terrible, and the story itself is too damn dumb. Here’s a some sample of the book:

Ugly indescribable.

Well, SzeMun help me a lot. She helped me in sketching a cuter version of chickens. Like this one:

Cute? Ahaha... I attached the book I redesigned below. Enjoy the ‘storyline’. It might be the worse or best children storybook you’ll ever read. It depends!

Now, that my works are all done, the nightmare had just begun. My final exam is here. OMG, save me.

P/S: My exam is over. i tot i published this earlier, but I did not realize it was in my draft. Damn. =.=
