PEP - Expecting to be done by the end of September

Today is the 12th day that I worked for Onion Boy.
I was and am still so frustrated at the way they work especially the decision making part, they keep changing there original brief that made it really hard for me to cope with. Plus, working without payment but because of my reputation and their kindness, I tried my best although I don't really happy with my design. After attending a few lecture of RDP class, I realised that I did miss out a lot of step in design process which I was supposed to follow such as the initial research, brainstorming and sketching out idea proposals, instead of jumping to the computer stage where by I let my creativity lead by the computer.
Novice, Advanced Beginner or Competent, Proficient and Expert???
The way I worked made me question my professional stage? A novice or proficient? Probably in between. As a third year student actively learning and reflecting on the design process, I seemed to lose direction when it comes to self-direct my work process where there will be no uni tutors to assist me on my projects. But then, it is good to know what I am missing and what need to be develop in term of the design process. I don' t think that I am not creative, I don' t think that I don't have a talent. I just think what I am still lacking is passion and concept of professionalism which can be developed through work experience, that in this case, PEP is really become a really helpful opportunity. I will soon do internship at Digital Eskimo to train myself in a different design environment which I think would be a very helpful reference for my future study and career. The experience I had here at Onion Boy will help to prepare for working at DE. Hope everything will be great.

Cool photoshop brushes

It's so cool that in my Digital Photomedia class, I was taught to download and use photoshop brushes that normally you will attempt to draw them.
Ya, my life would had been easier if i knew them before TT_TT
Above is my example of playing with brushes, isn't it cool? (I mean the brushes hehe)
How to do:
- What you need is an account which is free at www.deviantart.com
- Type in the search box: "Photoshop brushes"
- There are bunches for you to choose from to suit your creativity
... Let's think outside the box

Will you put this on your face???

This is a face mask... a fruit face mask... that I and Trina accidentally saw at a faceshop in World Square.
I looked at the design... the package design... without noticing the odd image arrangement.
Trina asked me: "you don't see anything weird?. Haha, I was looking at the design.
"U know what, this girl studying graphic design and didn't even notice this..." OMG
Anyway, this xxxx face mask... Will you put this on your face???

The ski trip *^u^*

Ya it was so much fun, and I can ski now. How wonderful it is... New experience and new achievement. This trip really marked a nice end to my uni break...
Look at the landscape, so fabulous,

We departed at 6pm from the Eddy Avenue and arrived the Snowy valley around 12 am in the morning, after renting all the equipment, we rushed for a bath and then went to bed. Because we had to wake up at 6am to have breakfast at 6:30 then get on the bus at 8am to go to the Thredbo.

Ya the food is quite ok but because we were so hungry therefore it tasted quite good.

Haha I am so short, we 3 looked like the stairs.
We then get on the bus, ya so funny photos, cute Trina and Jaclyn... and corny me... hehe


Jaclyn skied for full 2 days but me and Trina only did 1 and a half day and spent sometime at the village. Ya we crazily did go for swimming at saturday night but then we forgot to take photos (haha maybe J don't want to be photographed in swim suit). Ah not very cold at all because the water was heated up.
The end of the 2nd day, we were at friday flat having a bit of fun before we headed home.

PS: Let's go again next yeah, ok! Love you guys... ^u^

3rd day and 4th day at work

I start to realise I don't really like to work for free and work at onion boy.
I shouldn't have said that... I know... I KNOW.
I should appreciated that they give me a chance to work and fulfill my uni requirement and the boss seems to be a nice person. First I want to say thank you
But then, I feel a bit disappointed with the way they work... unorganised... maybe I am a clean freak. But please, I really frustrated when working there. Frustrated about the projects, and everything...

Anyway, I will still try my best until the project done. Because I have my own work dignity...
The 3rd and 4th day at work pretty much I focused on making the brochure cover and try to work out my template. Did not learn much form my senior coz he was too busy... Ah help him a bit on the logo (looking for the similar font...).

I am now still keeping the idea of working at Digital Eskimo. And I might be dead by the time the mid term break started. But then, I don't want to regret... I will negotiate, I will manage... God help me...

Pretty much done the first part of the design, still need to finish my page and then wait for other designers' pages and I will put thing together.
Yeah... that will be my duty for this weekend.

Long time no post ... Sorry ahhhh

Ya My is really busy lately, don't even have enough time to sleep.
Right after the ski trip, my whole body is painful but fortunately, it quickly recovered and now to make it worse, I slipped yesterday... I SLIPPED... I YO... huhuhu... hahaha.
Now I can't even walk or bend down. POOR ME...

Ya had a really nice time with Trina and Jaclyn recently. We went out and had dinner and beer after work. We all looked very tired but then it was so much fun.
Ya Thanks Trina, you made me laugh like hell. I feel like I am a lot younger now.
Thanks Jaclyn for treating me beer... Ya you know what next time let me treat you otherwise I would feel I am a most stingy person in the world. HAHA

Oh yeah, I will now post my ski trip's photos. These photos is authorized by Jaclyn. Hey thanks, I will just ask for copyright, ok. ^u^

Hey I started to have Trina laugh...sounds really loud and girliless... "You influenced me". Hehe...

How about you Jaclyn???
