Something random.

Hi all, it's been a loooooooooong while since I've been posting stuffs onto this blog. I wishes that I could have the extra time but the tight schedule and my twisted lifestyle have made it nearly impossible for me to update this blog frequently. My apologies and I promise I'll readjust my times and also updating this blog more often. :)

First of all, what I'm going to share here is something I've created out of boredom about a month ago, inspired by a typographer(some how I've forgotten his link and I swear I didn't try to plagiarize his work! LOL)

This is practically created just for the purpose facebook or msn messenger display picture. Could be made into a poster if the length of the artwork is stretched. So far the concept is exactly the phrase "Love what you do, do what you love" The colours used are Black as background and White & Red as the text.  I try to make as as simple as possible by highlighting the 'LOVE' word with red and thus creating the focal point of this artwork in overall.(And yeah, I admit that I have a great obsession in the combination colour of red, white and black... =.=")

The second thing I wanna share here is a logo I've created for a private group in facebook, which is founded by my fellow hometown friends that played the trading card called Magic: the Gathering with me. Although there are only 5 of us(4 to be honest, as 1 of us doesn't have a facebook account), the group serves as a 'head quarter' for the 4 of us to discuss about the news, the strategies of the card game and even post our the card list there for trading purpose.(Duhh, what is a trading card game for then? -_-")
Being part of the group, I feel obliged to contribute something for it and thus I came up with an idea of creating this group logo.

The concept for this logo is simple: straight to the point. I used the typeface called Futurex Phat because I think that the typeface did gives me a kind of a very sci-fi feeling and I believe that my groupmates would prefer something that looked futuristic rather than something that looked  rather old school.(while the card game is more fantasy-based comparing to sci-fi based -.-") The 'KB" stands for our hometown, which is called Kota Bharu(the capital city in Kelantan state, Malaysia) and the 'MtG' simply stands for 'Magic: the Gathering'.
The five icons at the middle is the original icons of the 5 colours of Magic: the Gathering cards. Although I didn't asked for permissions to use those icons but I still hope that I won't get into trouble by doing this. It's not for commercial purpose but just some private group purpose by the way. >_<"

I'll be updating my blog with recent and previous school work ASAP as I'm still in the midst of preparing it and my finals are at the mid of May. I hope that my Self Directed Studies could pass with flying colours and most importantly, I get to learn something during the process! So wish me luck, folks! all the best to you all and have a nice weekend! =D



With love,
