ASSIGNMENT ONE - Me, Myself and I

Designing my name to fits me is a really difficult task cuz i don't even know what exactly represents me.. After asking around for opinions, I've come up with different sketches on the different side of myself......

(1) Optimistic, happy and colourful

errmmm.. its meant to be a rainbow connecting my name from S to E so please use your imagination and fill it with colours!

(2) Fierce dinosaur~
(3) Dancing Queen (definitely not cuz I know how to dance very well but cuz I love to dance!)

Teamwork and confidence!

After drawing and drawing and drawing and thinking and thinking and thinking.... I've finally decided on the representation of dance! Oh well......

The manipulation here is by the spins and swirls that the ballroom dancers did on the dancefloor, leaving the trail of my name "LING"

Oh well... after showing the class my artwork the other time and seeing how the others work, I AM DEPRESSED! hahahahahaha i think i need to improve on my work badly!! Shall post the final piece up here as soon as possible! meanwhile please comment! thanks:)

and after familiarizing myself with illustrator and photoshop...........

Roughs

And FINALLY~~!

My outlook of life is like dancing - the need to be confident yet graceful :)

CLASS EXERCISE ONE

A machine that enhances my creativity 100 times!

Hi all.. this is my class exercise one :)

I kinda got this idea from hypnotization and human subconscious mind..
The chair is for the user to lie on and relax and the headset will "hypnotize" the user and "open" his subconscious mind..
All his/her creative juice will then start to flow hohohohoho
The pen tool automatically start working and draw whatever creative stuff the user has in mind..
This design kinda "opens" the user's subconscious mind to bring out the creative side of him/her!


One can be super creative and out of the box if there are no limitations. Anything is possible!

hello everyone!! I will post the designs up later but please gimme your comments!! HAHAHAHAHA thanks :)
