2nd day at work

From 10am to 2pm,
Discussing with Martin about the concept and layout. Eveything is much more clear more. Thanks.
Need to design the cover (front and back), plus the info page for Onion boy and my own design pages. He said design has 2 types: industrial design and creative design. Industrial design is just like business card design, having info and a bit of layout and done. But for Creative design, it takes time to come up with a nice and appropriate solutions. There is no way if you just sit in front of the computer and do stuffs is designing. Sometimes, a little break, a short walk, a quick glance can be a huge inspiration. But then inspiration is for amateur. We professional need to continuing working and solutions for the problem would come eventually. We can not let the inspiration overdrive us.
Then just take your time and start doing all sort of things that excites you. Even these proposed design would not be the solution for our design, these may be the solutions for other design problems. Keep it as long as you like it. You are the designer. You need to focus and listen to your eyes and intuition. Then you are open to endless opportunities.
Today, I did the info page, continuing the cover although still not very happy with the book name as well as the image. Need to design my pages tomorrow and find way to communicate the theme for the cover :"Think outside the square".
I think the logo fit best with images using the ink... Gotta try ink, photography and/or photoshop. I end up decided on the brochure with 16 pages (8 spreads).
Gotta find space for the CD...???
End the 2nd day.
Hanging around with Jaclyn and had dinner with other friends.
