I am finally done with the artwork! At first I wanted to create a new section on the blog based on this character but I thought it will take up too much time. So instead, I just create the artwork and show you guys the process of making the artwork.These are the background work I did for this art piece. The main focus is the character Detective Shawn. I first started with a … 
My friends and I went to Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) Open House yesterday. It was quite a grand open house, we first registered and received our goodie bag before we visited one of their gallery. We then encountered one of my friend's (Hosshima) friend who is a student here at NAFA. She then toured us around the campus. We first went to look at where the design and … 
Today is the first day semester 2. Many things has changed and the difficulty level has now increased. There is now nothing but stress, stress and more stress. I have been working on all my assignments from morning until now... Still, I am glad that the Open House is drawing near. We as student tour guides get to receive an exclusive 2010 NYP Open House t-shirt and 1 CCA … 
Nanyang Polytechnic Open House is TOMORROW! I am sure many of you can't wait to get a day off from school to visit any of the 5 polytechnic Open House. Since I am from NYP School of Interactive and Digital Media (SIDM), I guess it is only right that I show you what will be happening in my school during the Open House. From the Open House website: Blk M, Levels 3, 4 & 6 … 
Yesterday I followed my brother to have his graduation photo taken. The photography studio is called 'picture ME' and it is located at UE Square. It was my first time being in that shopping mall.What caught my attention was the many photographs hanging on the wall. It reminded me of why I like photography in the first place. I used to be my CCA and class photographer back … 
I am not sure if this counts as viral marketing... But I spotted this unusual "thing" on Ang Mo Kio Hub yesterday. At first I thought it would only move and talk if I were to approach it, but it seems it is just a pre-programmed video being screened on a white board. Many people actually stop to take a glance on what actually this thing is. I managed to catch a bit of what … 
For the those of you who Googled "nyp ixd" and found yourself here, congratulation! You came to the right website, as I am from "nyp ixd" myself. Chances are you might have seen some groups of Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) students doing unusual or crazy stunt last Friday (20th November 2009) in between 10 am - 4 pm around Orchard area. So what is "nyp ixd"? IxD actually … 
It was 3.30 am in the morning, I just got back home from a very expensive karaoke session (over $240++!) with my family and I saw this lonely shopping cart at the void deck. I thought to myself, it must be some inconsiderate Singaporean again. Just because they "paid" $1 to loan the shopping cart, they can just use it without thinking of the consequences. Do they even … 
The last time I have this feeling was during our SIDM orientation earlier in April this year. All the year 1s from all the six SIDM diploma courses gathering in the same room for one common purpose... During the orientation, it was to know each other better, but this time, it was for our Nanyang Polytechnic Open House 2010. It is kind of a weird feeling, really. The mass … 
The annual Media Fiesta is back! Launched in 2009 by the Media Development Authority, "MDA hopes to promote public appreciation of local media content, services and technologies and encourage its adoption and consumption." Technology has advanced so much and thus "the fiesta cuts across traditional, new and future media, and reflects the rapid changes in the media world." … 
Even though I am a designer and not an artist, I need to practice my drawing and illustration skills often as you will be surprise how often a designer is required to draw. Some might include preliminary thumbnails, or drawings that will be incorporated into the final product. I do so by carrying a sketchbook whenever I go (mostly to school, sadly) and I draw while I am in … 
I just got my semester 1 results today! It is not that bad actually, pass all modules, didn't get any D or D+. But it wasn't all that great either, no A, and my GPA is less than 3.0. Oh well, results is not everything in the world of design, I always say.Today I want to introduce you guys to a crazy idea I have right now - Decision Cards! Basically it is a deck of cards (same … 
Today I will be interviewing a friend of mine who used to be my junior in our secondary school CCA (which is Media Resource Library). He does not talk a lot, but he is honest, dependable and can always be found reading video game magazines and playing Counter-Strike after school. I figured he will be studying something related to game development long before the 'O' level … 
I never really liked the cheesy tag line that polytechnics come up with and this includes my own polytechnic. Still, I guess this is the only way to communicate to secondary school students nowadays? Good thing cheesiness doesn't stopped me from helping out in Nanyang Polytechnic Open House 2010. Went to school at 10.30 am but I wasn't given any duty until 12.30 pm so my …

Happy new year everyone! It has been a really tough week for me as our group was rushing to get our Audio Video Production (AVP) assignment done on time. Anyway, recently I developed an interest in collecting arcade coins and when my friend, Hosshima, wants to go there after we finish our AVP assignment, I joined her along with 2 my other friends. I thought of this as a good …

On our next part of what I want to share from the book 'The Complete Graphic Designer" by Ryan Hembree, I learned that graphic design is visual communication. That reminded me of the Comm …

Just because anime is supposed to be "hip" and "cool" does not mean they do not have to follow the elements and principles of design. Well, they could, but FMA will probably end up with used-to fans throwing rotton tomatoes at them.Having watched FMA: Brotherhood recently, I noticed some very good usage of design theory put into practice.This is part of the flash-back scene …
