Integrated Studio Project

Yes! ISP is finally over. I am only left with presentation.
So far, I'm very happy for myself and also for everyone! Finally, we've all done it together. Finished our Project 24.

However, on the down side, I felt that without school would be kinda boring. Not traveling on the bus to school, not seeing friends, not doing homework together. What can I do during holidays?
Holidays are kinda boring to me now.

After having 9 months of holidays before NAFA started, I am quite tired of playing games. I want to work! I want to do something constructive man. Or at least hanging out with friends all day long.

Can't wait for assessment, can't wait for 2nd year to come, can't wait for my results for this semester, can't wait for cellgroup.

Almost.

Yes. I am almost done!

ISP Project 24, I've conquered it.

I am very glad that I have two good teachers assessing my class. I really want to thank all my friends and lecturers that helped me. As promised, I would finish asap and help you guys!

I could thank anyone in the world but most of all, I thank God for giving me the strength to pull through this month!

I don't mean to exaggerate, but I have lost weight and my health is getting worst. Not enough sleep, stressed out, headaches here and there.

My face is so pale to the point that my friend thought I put on makeup!

Okay, that might be a little too exaggerated. But seriously, I didn't felt like myself for the past 2 weeks.

I am woried for all my friends, their project, their family and themselves. I am worried about my own project. I am worried about the cellgroup. I am worried about my friends.

Sometimes I just wished that I could dump myself into Photoshop and duplicate myself as many times as possible so that I can reach out to someone out there that needs help. So that I can help all my friends. So that I can do as many things as possible to make someone's life different.

Alright, hoorrayy~ ISP is ending soon but assessment is coming. :S

Fatigue

Alright, enough of Red Bull. I've enough of messed up thoughts up my brain. Time to have a quick rest and chiong.

Nearly 50% done.

Finalised background image, text color, box layout.

ISP Week 3.

Yup. Time flies!

It's 3rd week already and I've completed 35%. Can't wait for holidays.

So far so good! 

I'm relying on Red Bull to keep my brain running and there's a side effect, IT MAKES YOU THINK TOO MUCH.

ｶﾞ━━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━━ﾝ!!

No, seriously, for the past few days my mind is just going round and round and round thinking. About what?

I DON'T KNOW (some sort of super mixed feelings x 10^infinity, see what I mean?)

Too much things are going in and out of my mind. I can't sleep well neither think properly.

Warning: Drink Red Bull during emergency only.

It's a BIG ad!

Something quirky to lighten up the mood.

ISP, 2 weeks left!

So far so good. I've got my Anaglyph image effect done and it's working! I've showed one of my lecturer and she was amazed by it. Heh.

Oh man, I really love my work this time round. It makes me happy. XD

To Do:

1) Pen tool + Color + Anaglyph all 24 illustrations.

2) Make box.

3) Make 3D-Glasses.

4) Print Illustrations.

5) Create a Ad. Poster for the final product. 

(Have to think of taglines, illustration ideas, copywriting ideas.)

6) Prepare presentation speech.

Jia You NAFA year 1 students! It's ending soon. Work hard!

Michael Jackson Visionary Singles

Oh my.. This is the ultimate Michael Jackson collection! In this box, it has all the Singles in it!

Man, I love to have it and I really like the packaging. I hope I can make a box like that for my project. Yes, I know you might say yet again - "OMG YOU MJ SIAO". Haha! WHATEVER!

What I thought of is that I want to make a box like that to put my cards that I'm doing for my Project 24. Hopefully, I would somehow make it. Wooooo~

Anyway people, good luck to everyone that is having their final 2/3/4 weeks before holidays!

Just can't wait for holidays.

hmm.. $200 to buy clothes, $200 to buy books, save $100 for next year's materials expenses..

ISP Week 1

Week 1.

So far it's been quite relaxing. From Monday till today, I've already had 3 possible and approved ideas!

1) The 24 stages of the Paperbag Boy's birth.

It would be based on illustrations, leading to maybe an Ad. campaign about using paperbags instead of plastic bags. 24 Zocards in a paperbag designed box.

2) The final 24 hours before birth.

Illustrations of baby inside the womb. It would not be realistic. It would even mean that the baby can talk, listen, move, able to make decisions, have thoughts, etc. It would be quirky, funny, humorous. 24 Zocards in a box with a poster to advertise it. This product would be made for pregnant women, or those that had just started a family or considering to. It's to tell that babies are cute, funny, interesting? Nah, haven't really come up with the objective.

3) The 24 Infamous & Famous.

Photomanipulations, Threshold edits, vectored graphics into a poster. All 24 Infamous & Famous people that I know about will be put into a extremely large poster (A2). 23 others, and the 24th would be me in the middle.

Objective? Don't know!

So far, my 2nd idea was the most popular among 3.

I've already started on sketching on it.

Heres a sneak peak to the Ad. Poster

The text says, "Here comes the latex glove".

This is only an rough idea for the poster. I hope I would be able to come up with something more amazing!

=========================================================

My first and third idea was rejected!

All of my 3 lecturers told me that I should do on the baby and try to expand on it.

Thank God for answering my prayers, I've da creativity groove flowin' into my brains! My idea, concept, medium, target audience, etc has already been finalised and all 3 of my lecturers were very happy with it.

Compared to the previous ISP (integrated studio project), I started on the third week while this time round, I can already start even before the first week ends.

Aw, I got my results for my InDesign brochure assignment. I got B for it. Well, it's okay, at least I tried my best!
