ink hunting

i know the class is over, but i still want to post something...
since the booklet ate all my ink, i need to buy a new one today. i went to 3 different stores and none of them carry the ink that i'm looking for, and then the guy who work at best buy told me they don't carry epson T00921 anymore... i was terrified... 'cause i still have few more prints to do... what am i going to do????? then i called yen and she told me to try office depot. THANK GOD they do carry it!! after i feel relieve and came out from the store, i saw the rainbow on the sky. it was really pretty. what a ink hunting day~

booklet project

i'm working on the photos for the booklet.
i'm not a very good photoshop person.... anybody knows any websites for teaching how to use photoshop?

Falling Garden

i saw this from other people's blog.
it is amazing how they come up with those images.
the 1st image is my favor. because that make me feel like the world is upside down. viewing the garden upward instead of looking down. it's so beautiful to look at it. i wish i can visit the actual place.

“falling garden” by by swiss artists Gerda Steiner and Joerg Lenzlinger.

“The Doge (Mocenigo) needed a church so as to be able to have a monumental tomb built for himself, the church (San Staë) needed a saint so as to be able to be built, the saint (San Eustachio) needed a miracle so as to be pronounced a saint, the miracle needed a stag in order to be seen, and we built the garden for the reindeer. The visitors lie on the bed above the doge’s gravestone, and the garden thinks for them.”

Plan B: [title: shapes and forms] photos of shells, rock, bench, flip-flop ....etc

so exciting!

thinking.......

art and design has always been my passion. but it is no fun when i am stuck and there's no ideas come out of my brain.... so let me take a deep breath, clear my mind, and start thinking again.... what's important and what's good about my company? how do i advertise them? what do i want to show to my audience? is there something that my company has and other companies doesn't have? what will happen if the consumer choose our company?


Ecosource Paper Company

-use hemp instead of tree -->> "TREE FREE!!!!!!" -->> more green on earth --> (question develop) what happen if there's no tree on earth?

-Tree Paper= Old Style v.s. Hemp Paper= New Fashion

-There are other things made by trees. Use HEMP to make paper!


ok... i think i got my ideas. just need take some photos...

to Yen

Yen~ i really like the piggy bank idea ever since i heard that from you!! so i'm gonna steal it :P
still trying to come up with some other ideas....
i'm stuck.......
i have so many ideas that i can't do it due to my poor skill on photoshop...

more buzz words:
ECOSOURCE PROTECTS
ECOSOURCE MAKE TREES HAPPY
ECOSOURCE, SUPPORTER FOR TREES
(graphic) make an "ecosource gate" --> protector for trees
"think about what if all trees are gone"

ideas......

"ECOSOURCE! the shelter for trees"
"Ecosource Cares"
"Ecosource------the One"

trying to find inspiration

interesting ads

Library

Library North 4th floor is my favor place!!
i can just stay there all day~ 'cause there are kinds of graphic design books. brochure, flyers, package designs...etc.
Stand is right! "you can't learn more if you don't see more"
i think all those books did help me a lot this semester. The books open up my eyes and I see more and more possiblity of making art. i wish i can just own all the books that's there in the library...

here's a quote that i found in one of the book...

"Reading is about words. Art is about pictures. Graphic design is about words and pictures. We graphic designers are often given boring words and we're told to make them interesting...."

final stationary

i'm happy w/ my final stationary.

Stationary

i don't feel really confident about my stationary ideas... still working on it....

GSU logo

I think at the beginning of the class somebody talked about who designed the GSU logo. well, i was reading some logo design book and then i randomly saw the designers. The company is called Wages Design, and the designers are Randy Allison, Joanna Tak --> (i'm not sure if i spell her last name correctly...i wrote it down, and then now i can't read my hand writing.....sorry joanna...)

logo transformation

i changed the perspective for all of it and trying w/ different colors.
still unsure about the fonts for "ecosource paper inc." trying to search for the right one...
