what have I been doing recently
besides stalking Eddie
I have been working real hard
no.. my nose is not growing any longer
I wish you really would, juicy flatty nose
well of course
chasing deadline
no, the other way round
deadline is chasing after me
portfolios are mostly due
in two weeks time or so
this week is a break
technically, a non-contact week as they call it
so that we may finish whatever has to be done
surprisingly
I am not doing any writing,
not even one
because.. most of the portfolios
require two parts
writing + design
there is an idiom in Mandarin
“蜀中無大將 廖化作先鋒”
originated from the story of
the legendary Three Kingdoms
before I wander too far
roughly means
okay let’s say
if you are a bench warmer
and always are
let’s say the star player got injured
then you would get to play,
for once, you do
so the reason I am not doing any design
is because
someone has to take charge of the design part
oh no, bless my group
I took PR instead of advertising
in the first place
because I thought I thought
I can do away with just writing, no drawing
all the way, safe and sound
but no, that’s not the case
not that I am good or something right now
at least
now I am no longer anti-Photoshop
wait that doesn’t mean I PS my own portraits
as an ethical user
Photoshop is mean for creation
not for modification, alright
millions thanks to my ex-housemate Cat
two semesters ago
because she taught me two very basic yet important tool
i. i can actually move layer to another file next door
ii. there’s ruler guide if your eyes can’t really look
straight, like me
then I came to realize
LAYERS!!
that’s the whole purpose why
PHOTOSHOP comes into existence
anything else
just Google it will do,
how to unlock index file
how to create puzzle piece in PS
how to create vintage effect in PS
damn, anyway
I am still taking the easy way out sometimes
you know those online generator
photo collage
slide show creator
photo-video maker
which makes life so much easier
I wish there’s instragam sort of website too
snippet of what am I doing
ooouch
what if…
just in case the others enter to
you know just take a look
karma is a bitch, bitch
just go ahead
let’s see the waiting list:
Promo-kit for an university open day
Promo-media-kit for a NGO campaign
E-zine & short clip about life as a student
which I shall reveal one by one
after all the respective due dates
I mean I got inspiration, clipart, font
via some awesome sites
so it’s my responsibility to share
what I have come out with too
not that they are fantastic or something
but I am really proud of myself for real!!
because I am freed from the long-haunted
PHOTOSHOP-PHOBIA!!
isn’t it always a dream to
create a magazine of my own?
and I am even ambitious enough
to create a 3-D flyer
not that you need a 3-D classes to read the words
but it’s,
you know sort of dimensional
you can hold it and throw it around
an object.. exactly that’s the word
so what do you think
