Making of props for White Queen project

Images above shown one on the left is the earliest sketch I have made before finalising and the one on the right is the second look as part of the project that I want to photographed in this white themed project.

As I mentioned earlier, you can see this was based on the initial sketch design that I try to make but yet I feel not very satisfying although i initially do want to have the net eye brows to add and give the oddness as what I want to portray.

Sketch for Upcoming Photoshoot Project

Sorry for the long delay of updates on my blog, recently have been busy managing and revamping my blogs. Yes I have a few blogs. Here's a very rough sketch of the look and feel and makeup concept that I want to do for my next project working with my makeup artist friend and hairstylist.

I ended up didn't spend too much time tidying the painting and lines, just roughly do as I just wanna use this to show my partners the idea. And also, because i thinking if this going to be the masterpiece, then I might as well not turn it into photoshoot. So I pay less attentions to the details. I also do notice my painting and drawing skills dropped after long time absence on drawings.

But overall, I still do not want to disappoint myself too much and also my readers and spoilt the standard and image of being an artist. I still ended up trying to make it look presentable.  I hope I did. What do you think?

Below is just a clearer version to show how the makeup I want it to be to my makeup artist and hairstylist. Wish me good luck!

HELLO! its been very long while....

Hey!!, its been a very long while for not updating my blog. I have been working as intern for 3 months and came back to new semester in university after internship. Today just going to update you guys with my old assignment work which have been done 4 months ago. Looking back my old works made me feel that i am so silly with all those silly mistakes and amateur works done by me.
These are my assignment print ad designs that were made before my internship, Sorry if there's any alignment problem or any amateur color choice.

I used metaphor idea to describe the orphans like the small little stones on the ground being kick around or thrown, abandoned as no one cherish it. But stones are used to build houses which means everyone here do have values, have their worthiness. So, we should also help them to succeed their dreams by providing the guide and education.

 This was describing the tagline message which is "Embrace.Encourage.Educate" using a paper airplane folding steps.Embrace means to take, receive and accept, to adopt. To me , accept can be shown through the gesture of hug or arms. Then i thought of the paper airplane folding steps, there's one is fold inwards, that gesture gives me the feeling of embrace, hug or let in. Encourage with the hands open up the wings of the paper airplane is sort of gesture of encouraging the airplane(orphan) to fly. Lastly, the educate with the hand of throwing paper airplane to fly is showing us how to fly with the hand ready to throw the plan up and foward.

I guess this is more directly deliver the message by the visual. So, i do not need to explain this one =)

I recently have gave myself a nickname as a cartoonist or artist for doodling, SiputYau

Siput means snails in Malay language. I named that as i felt that i always kind of slow in painting stuff, so I named myself Siput.

Yau is my first name "Hoong Yau"

Sketches for another assignment

These are the sketches I did yesterday for my group assignment.

The topic is called the uniqueness of creative multimedia. And my group said they want to show more inspirations from creative multimedia. But my concept is not only inspirations but grow wider and broader as in this course can make us learn a lot grow from there, is like a locker and we are the key to unlock the wonderful and inspirational journey from creative multimedia.

C&C are welcome.

MI CNY soft drink ads assignment

Sorry for very very lag of updating this blog, I was busy with my own works and also school works. And this is one of them. To choose a product from 5 products and match with one special events from 5 different events. In the end, I chose soft drink with Chinese New Year event. After many consultations with lecturers and research from internet and precedent studies, here's the result. The reason I choose pheonix instead of dragon or tiger to represent Chinese New Year is too generic and common as I was told by the lecturer so I used pheonix in the end.

This was done by mixed software and media which is photo cutout, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop.

Below are the sketches before I get into the final product.

C&C are welcome. =)

Logo Design Assignment

Before I start to talk about my logo sketches, I would give a brief introduction or theory I heard from lecturer about designing logo.

Logo must be:
distinctive /unique
coherent/relevant
abstracted
simplified
stylized
rafted in good aesthetics
identify
add value and meaning
to illuminate
to clarify
dramatize
persuade or amuse

But soemtimes design logo can be very subjective because we saw before some logo did not fulfill the all the things i stated above, so depends on you
Color choices also limited to three colour choices to use on the logo

There are 4 types of logo:
Workmark Logo ( Text only)
Lettermark Logo(abbreviation + image)
Brandmark Logo (Image only)
Iconic Logo (Image and Text)
Combo Logo

Below are the sketches for one of the assignments that I have been busying doing which is design a Malaysian International Batik Exposition logo.

I try to blend the "canting" tool with flower petals together, to represent batik with the canting tool.

this is just a simply sketch and lecturer somehow like the idea of this...and persuade me to study further on this

Lecturer also like the idea of Rafflesia to represents Malaysia and the postive and negative patterns played on the petals to represents batik.. but i not planning to use this yet because other student have the same idea of using rafflesia...

this is more on fantasy like, feel, but lecturer said I put too much things blend together.. u will find this logo is illusion kind of logo.. got Hibicus, got 2 fishes and also a butterfly.. the reason I did that way is too show different cultures found in Malaysia as we have different races. The fish is somewhat represents the chinese as they like this kind of fishes which i forgot the name. Gold fish? i think.. and Hibicus represent Malaysia and Butterfly can represent Malay batik..and the colour choices is like a mixture or 3 races (red = chinese, yellow = indian, blue = malay?) =.="

this one is my first idea of the logo .. but seems not very batik enough as I actually wanna try to make it look more modern way of batik.

Sketch : Nurture

Today early morning before I slept, around 2 a.m. I suddenly got a rough vision of a pregnant robot carrying a baby and then popped out the word 'Nurture".
