Ok...dead blog I know. Sorrryyy. Well...just a small update. As mentioned I'm the design lead for Design Method 3 and Tanyus is the Technical lead. And I think the job was very well divided. Today I worked on the remaining elements for the game and I got pretty excited. So I decided to try the different combinations that I can come up with.



I actually find this pretty interesting to experiment with. It's nice for me. Hopefully our juniors will feel the same. Presentation this coming Tuesday.

Ok, I've promised to put up my storyboard for Motion Graphic Design (Autism) and also Design Method 3 interface prototype. You know what took me so long? Laziness and watermarking. Every time I post something here, I have to resize it and watermark it. A bit troublesome but it's a good practice I know. Anyway...

Motion Graphic Design (Autism)
So this is my THIRD proposal. Sweat. I mean seriously, if kena reject another time, I will sweat until the whole world banjir. ha...ha...ha.... I changed my target audience to general public. Main aim will be to create awareness and generate support from the public to lend a hand to this community of people and their families.











Design Method 3 (Style It)
As mention in one of my previous posts, our interface design wasn't up to standard yet. And since I am in charge of designing the interface and Tanyus in charge of the technical aspect, I am responsible in making the front end look good. A bit stressful. And the job division is this way because OBVIOUSLY Tanyus scripting skills are better than mind a million times. =.=! But after critic session last week, we were so glad Sweii likes it. It was agonizing to present first and getting no feedback while the rest of the groups were either commented "very good", "good improvement" or having a lot of helpful feedbacks from the class. Ours, nothing. Huahhh... Stress. Cos of all the teams, our ideas were the one approved last. Then critic session, we were the last team to be called. Was so afraid the lecturer and tutor will ask lotsa questions that we cannot answer but thank God they didn't have much to comment and it was good enough. The night before, Tan and I had a crazy laugh over our character. Hahahaha... Cos I tried to do her voiceover in a very bimbotic way. Gah~!
Oh, btw...The character wasn't drawn by us. Found it on the net. Will give the credit when I get his name.








In addition to my work, I helped a church mate, Ian to design a T-shirt. Did it yesterday, completed today. I hope it's good enough. It's been ages since I last did my design on Illustrator.









Last Friday, I had a very bad mishap. My flash FLA file for Digital Media was missing. All because of my hard disk. I accidentally detached it when I moved my laptop and then it just went missing. The file was still running when that happened. Sigh... I dunnoe how now... Have to redo. Unless the programme given by Musa to revert SWF to FLA works. Please please work~!

For the past few days, Tanyus and I stayed up till 5AM to finish our Design Method 3 proposal. We really went through quite a "ribut taufan" in our project. I still think our first idea was pretty unique but I guess circumstances didn't really make things easy. So we brainstormed for another idea and we like it. Now we hope it'll turn out good. Anyway, this quick visual needs ALOT of changes. Basically our art direction is similar to scrapbooking. Will post up the updated version asap.

We are creating a flash game that requires the player to decorate a room according to a virtual customer's description. From the given description, player has to interprete what kind of art style and art movement that suits what the customer wants. Our aim is to evoke user's creativity in applying the fundamentals of art movement into their work. Not only that, we aim to help to train user to understand and interprete a job brief.

Below is our first quick visual. Gah. Next time I will post up a much improved one. Suddenly I feel so The Sim-ish. Hahaha... We have a very very bad name. Gonna change it.



Anyway, I am like so so so so so freakin in love with this blog. SO NIIIIICEEEEE~! See how I enlarge the link text. This is how much I love it. Hahahaha! Tanyus watched all my reactions in class when I went through this blog and she said this, "Chen, you're having furniture orgasm.." =.=! For once, I think I do agree with her. Oh goodness... Such beautiful creation call furniture and interior design. I will, I promise myself, I will one day work in a interior design firm.
