LOGO

This is LOGO of the Pangaea Organization that its goal is sponsor fund for conference of protect environment . I added logo in the letter header as a license of the Pangaea Organization which is used unique.

The following brochure is designed as a advertisement for the conference of protecting environment and warning global warming. I used the industry background represented for reason caused global warming and the logo still stand out with whole concept.

Public welfare posters

A public welfare poster should not be abstractive so much. In contrast, it should sell the idea in very clear way. Because people usually don’t spend long time to see a public welfare poster on the street. In addition, a public welfare poster might point to different class in society. There for the designers may consider about the audiences carefully before making a public welfare poster. In this kind of poster, better say “yes” or “do” than say “no” or “do not” when creating a message to appeal the public.

Here are some public welfare posters i found on the internet

This poster advertises the world day of “Prevention of Child Abuse”. The extreme close-up of a poor child creates a big impact to the audience. It appeals the sympathy and the support from the public people. The message is very clear through the worlds on the top of the poster.

Design LOGO

When I studied LOGO in Content course, I practiced for music company of following owners - Wessley, Tossley and Jowes. The process is made by asking the creative question for making logo, the theme of company and their goals. We found that the compination of their name will create the name of company WESLEY. The main theme of company is music for hot pop star so that we used star and disc as relating music star and the color are orange for the increasing, raising , becomming hot . Text is used color suitable with the color theme. We made star and disc mixed together to compose the corporation, relation of music, pop star and company. These are following logos which I made for example under three types.

Mockup

There are the mockup which created for website . Designed by Hung, Chung.

Self Portrait

It's not easy to make a self-portrait in the way people can look and see how you are.
Therefore, I tried to practice with some one’s portrait before I made my ^_^.
The following 2 images are my practicing:

Look at this girl, she is graceful and looked natural. The water background and textile bring a peaceful feeling to the audience. For me, she makes think about mothers.

Here is the second practice: she is now looked mysterious, and modern because of the light lines.

The next images are my self-portrait, just look and feel how am I.

Typography

There are three typography design. Each typography represented different emotion , different sense.

With Flying , I try creating it keep the high-faulting feeling of viewers.



With Collapse as its definition is to fall together suddenly ... as the reason why I make each letter of collapse is standing, lying, slanting ... the viewers' feeling is same as taking unreliable things.




With arising as its meaning, I designed it as the rising up of nature from small, weak to big, huge and strong ... so I chose the level of green for arising.

The fashion style in 18th centery

The drawing:



The painting:

The rythm of life

when you saw this pic at the first time, it was characterless ... but at the second ... the third ... there are some feeling were found out ... lighting, profound, smooth and luxury ... this pic was taken suddently the light in the street ... this pic created vaporous things and the warmth.

Mockup website

This is our group's mockup of website in DIM 3. We design tis mockup in Photoshop. We try to design the themeplate related with the style of the logo. This is website of "Saigon Players", the logo has the bammbo and funny - sad face and palm-leaf conical hat so that we choose the themeplate belonged Vietnam culture. The main color as the color of old bamboo and the navigation bar is the body of the bamboo. Moreover in each subpage we also choose the vietnam style to decorate.

Lord of Rings logo

It was a good practice to remake “THE LORD OF THE RINGS” logo. I tried to identify the font of the logo, and then I found that there is a font very similar to the logo. That was “Hightower” font. Unfortunately, my computer does not have that font, so I used “Imprint MT Shadow” font, which could be similar for the font of TLOTR logo.
Here is my result.

Vietnam Today

After the discussion about Collage and Photomontage in the class, I would do a little practice about this technology by developing an idea about “Vietnam Today”.
First, the little girl in the center could be represented for my country today: poor and small. A few pictures with blur effect create the growth of Vietnam but what you can see in the pictures is not really good about this country.
Second, the way I use color for the poster has some meaning. If we say Vietnam is growing, the haft left could represent the past and the right side is now to future. In the past, Vietnam was mostly an agricultural country, nature, and true color. However, today part is only one color. Why is that?
Let us just think about Vietnam today… air polluted, people and bikes are everywhere. It does not fresh anymore, and becoming boring.

Jan Lenica

I have viewed a graphic designer named Jan Lenica in the Polish Poster website who has a very special type in her posters.
Just take a quick look around her posters; we could see that she preferred human face and human body in many of her posters. The human face and body are very abstract. They do not look real; sometimes there was only a mouth or just the eyes on the face.
On the other hand, I realize that Jan likes to use dark colours combine with thick line to create the motion for her posters. Some of Jan’s posters are strong contrast and the elements often symmetric.

Stamp Art

What is a stamp art? Is it simply a crafting processing of different materials on a plate panel? Yes it is. However, the expression or the idea should be concerned as an important part. A stamp art sometimes creates an impression due to its unique layout-expression.

Commonly, a stamp art is developed on a plate, which could be made from glass, wood, thick paper, plastic, or steel. Then the artists express their idea on it by using different materials such as pieces of paper, color ink, and anything which is suitable for the expression.

Rubber stamp art by Michael Dare:

This is a rubber stamp art, which creates a beautiful painting in colors. The shapes are complicated but together they make a nice balance.

Charm Box:

You can make your own unique box's lid by crafting your favourite materials on to the lid

Christmas Card_00295:

This Christmas card was developed with stamp art। Grid layout also is popular in stamp art। Is this a kind of module grid?

Triangle Collage:

Once again I wonder is this a deconstructed grid layout or module grid layout with triangle shapes? However, the color expression is really impressive!

Century Gothic - a nice font

Century Gothic is a kind of font, which is based on the geometric style sans serif faces. It was designed in 1991 for Monotype Imagine-a typesetting and typeface design company. It takes stimulation from Sol Hess's Twentieth Century, which was a successful Futura typeface in 1937-1947.
Century Gothic has a larger x-height, and more stroke width. the face is totally full circle counter for its lowercase ‘o’, ‘q’, ‘a’, and ‘g’.
This typeface is useful for headlines and display in small quantities of texts, particularly in advertising. Gothic is the word related to something very natural. Therefore the Century Gothic typeface could be suit for the cases, which express the beautiful feeling, natural feeling, and perfect feeling. However, due to its layout based on the sans serif, it should be use for modern printing.

The following links are more detail about this typeface:

The public welfare poster

This is a public welfare poster, which talks about "saving fresh water".

When I made it, I thought about the audiences and the voice of the message.

The target audiences are everyone. Therefore, the voice of the poster would be clear and simple.

Easy way to embed you Flash file to your blog!

You have a Flash movie (.swf file)and you want to show it in your blog. There is a simple way to do it.
First, you need to upload your .swf file on any host in the internet. This step makes sure that your .swf file is always available to access. For me, I used my unix host of RMIT unix sever to store my file.
Then, apply the followings codes into your blog:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Yourfilename.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="Yourfilename.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" NAME="Yourfilename" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>

Finally, replace "Yourfilename" by the real link of your .swf file (after upload your file on a host, you will receive a link to download your file). Your Flash movie will be already displayed on your blog. ^^

You also can change the width and the height of display window. Have fun!

Camera Moves

The way to make your movie being more impressive is using kinds of camera move.
The clip below is from Final Fantasy VII – Advent Children. You can see some “Extreme Close-up” moves of camera in the beginning, which focus to the main characters. There are also some dramatic angle shots, which are very impressive.

Photomontage

I have an assignment in class called “Photomontage Assignment”. Therefore, I think it is good to preview this site before I start to work. In general, photomontage is some thing like this image. By using different kinds of image, we can create a whole picture, which consists a new meaning. According to the article, it’s better if we use our own photographs and images. Just take the camera, go out, and shoot as many as we can. Then a last thing we need to do is using Photoshop to build our new face.
^.^

Typography_Listen to the voice

Choosing a font for a layout is very important. It depends on the tone of the layout. Fonts also have their voice. For example, in these two layouts, the word “REMEMBER” is used to create the meaning of them. A happy font type presents the word “Remember” in the pink layout, which is an inorganic font. The characters look like flowers. Do you think so? ^^
In the second layout, the font type is organic. Its voice leads you to something very old and mystery. Combine the typography and the image (man in black), the layout would talking about some things in a detective novel

Business Card_Orchidarium

Making a business card could be simple & not really simple, do u think so?
In this case, I consider about the white space of the layout. Using a part of the Orchid image on the top right will make a big impress to the audiences, then it would connect the audiences to the company name "Ochidarium".
At the bottem side, there are information of the company owner. The name and the phone nubers of this person actually are a little bit bigger than other information. This would lead the audiences easier to get what exactly information they need.
All at once, I'd to leave the white space to make the layout cleaner, fresher, and the easier information catching.

Flash Movie

This Flash movie is a part of my last semester assignment, and I took responsibility of this part. I would talk about the process from thinking to making a good movie.
In this case, I had to describe a couple (two fingers), who were lost in a forest and rescued by ET (an alien). Therefore, I thought about what scenes I need. Then I thought that is good to create some scenes just showing the flowers and butterflies. It would bring the audiences jump to some where in a forest. The main characters were focused in the next scenes. That was a quite good way to open a movie. By the way, if I did not try to imagine for the whole movie before I started, I could just focus on the main characters only, and the movie could be less romantic or less motional.
Any way, it’s really hard to make a good movie >_<
(hehehe...finally I did it!...but now i need to put the "stop" and "play" buttons for the movie..>_<..really dont have time)

One more thing is if you want to see the movie, after click on "play" button, you need to wait for downloading the movie. Its size is about 4MB, so it would take few minutes to download. T_T

Gestalt Practice

In order to design this article, I just want to make it simple and easy to read.

I would use the image to create a big impact to the readers. They could mention that the article is related to flowers or something such a plant.

Then the color of the title is similar to the flower in the picture, that would make some relation for whole article.

One thing I've considered was the size of the title, should it be bigger or was it ok?

Practice

Few days ago, I had an activity in Electronic Image class. That is drawing. We worked in-group of three, and tried to draw as much as we can. After that, we picked three of our images, and developed them at home.

Here are the images chosen:

This image has its meaning related to the tribes in African. The Moon and The Sun place an important meaning in their concept. Therefore, they often make their accessories have the shape of moon and sun. When I look at this image, I think about a tribesman, who is wearing something like this.


There is a legend about “Moon Island”; an island has dragons living there. Therefore, I picked this image and redrew it in Photoshop. Do you think that the legend could be truth?


When looking at this image, you might think about an eternal flame. The meaning is same for The Sun.
