The main color is red. Black background and white text make the red parts outstanding. The text is aligned seriouly. After trying on many fonts, I decided to use Brush Script ITC for the head title so that it's suitable to the image and Bookman Old Style to give clear information.


There are 2 versions of this flyer 'coz when the black one is introduced to the blog of RMIT DC, someone likes something not hot and sexy like that but cute and pure. She said that this is the basic competition and many couples are only girls together and the characteristic of the competition is not so hot. That's also one problem I aven't thought of. Next time I should be more careful^^

Anyway, do you feel hot? Feel free to join our event!!!

Condom poster

This is the poster designed by me for assignment 2B. The poster is used to remind teenagers remember to use condoms when having sex. Although teenagers are not recommended to have sex at their ages, the number of teenagers having sex still considerably increases.

Teenagers who usually like being stylish & kool always want to be prooved to be mature. They're easy to curiously try on something new and like doing what others prevent them from. Therefore, don't try to make them think that having sex is something ashamed, mysterious or just for adults to know, which will lead them to stealthily doing it in a dangerous way.

The girl in the image is me. I put on clothes like that on purpose to remind viewers of teenagers. There's three small images of the girl. The 1st one is the girl with so much thoughts standing leaning on the letter 'T'.The girl over the letter 'e' try to touch the 'stylish' to express the trend of teens. The girl also jumps high to express the freedom.The girl looks not traditional. The brick wall with the font style 'Alba super' makes it look like grafitti wall, which teens are now often interested in.

The color of the poster is approximately hot and strong. Do I look strong :D hehe?

Forcing

Using Photoshop with stroke, brush tool, fill pallette, I made this picture. There must be something to push me to go away from this situation. I don't want to stand here anymore.

Dancing, once again,is my inspiration. The combination between the man and the woman in each figure looks so elegent and gentle, however, be careful with its strength. The red symbolizes all of them as a mysterious story. When the strength like that would come to force me?

Proportion

Proportion is the key to this image. I still remember that contrast in proportion give a visual design grama and human measure everything in terms of how it relates to human size. Therefore I made the image of me small in comparison with the size of balloons on purpose. I used the warrand tool to cut the image of myself and then paste it on the grass and under the balloons. The person wants to touch the balloon, which seems possible but still not happening. That's the way I have to manage with some problems now.

Coffee or drugs

Playing a little bit with Photoshop, I began with an idea to make a picture and finished with a poster:D.

This poster just warn from the situation of coffee addction. To take advantage of the photo I took in chroma-key room, I put myself in the cup of coffee. I used eraser, Magic wand tool, select tool to create the white part full of coffee rain in the middle. Then I played with the type tool. Can you see the closure in word ' Coffee' and 'Drugs' that is created with the help of 2 coffee seeds?:D

Three words look as they are falling down, which leads the viewers' eyes to the slogan at the bottom. Coffee is so wonderful but anyway, be careful with it:). This poster can be used for public purpose when coffee addiction becomes a fever.

Me, just me and nothing else...

You know, the most scary thing to me is exactly me in another 'shape' which is not me. Sometimes I felt as if I had lost myself. Just a few actions which didn't follow my feelings, just a smile without any emotion, just the silence even when there's actually need of my voice to protect me, to tell the truth, just some ignorance when discovering camouflaged things, all in all, made me exhausted, stressful. After all, I can see myself become more mature day by day, far from my home, losing my pure thought... Am i too greedy when wanting to love everybody and wanting them to love me( ridiculously smiling)

Always, I am me in dancing and designing( not coding, programming anymoreT_T)



This is my self- portrait. I asked my friends to take photos for me as I requested about the view angle. All photos are taken in chroma- key studio room so that I can separate me from the scene more easily.I got not only the image of me but also my shape on purpose. You can see, almost every images in my self portrait is steps in dance. The portrait is totally digitally manipulated with Photoshop. I give my deep thankness to Magic Wand tool. This time, the eraser also becomes quite a good friend. Also thank you, cutout and charcoal effect. Do you see each element in my shape, which is composed from many tiny images of me after they were manipulated?
The background is one page in my Visual Diary in sem1 and I used chalk and coal to turn it into black and white so that it seemed as if it was sketched.

I like the feeling from the cold green and the dark red. It makes the image strong and close to touch the truth. My chin and my nose in combination is the thing I cannot tell that I hate or like for many reasons. My those 2 things can tell you which emotion and feeling I am carrying, believe me;)

Playing with movement

Let’s play with some of my exercises in class. I just have the right to use font and text only to express the meaning of the word released in class. Those 4 words that I chose are Compression, Floating, Flying and Explosion.




The first one is Compression. I used the red one in the middle and many black ones around it. Those black ones compressed that red one. The saturation of the red is increased on the contrary to the font size.

The word ’flying’ is what I like most. I used the image of butterflies and worms to create the feeling of movement. The word ‘floating’ is formed from the image of a river. The word ‘explosion’ is created from two images: the balloon is boomed, the ground is bombed. Those images are so simple. I used the pen tool to create paths for those letters to run:D. The colors sometimes are applied from the color scheme. Do you like them?

Happily smile with milk tea:D

This is a picture that I have taken with my roommate when going to have a glass of milk tea. Just use Photoshop to make the small world around it. Erase all the part that you don’t like, use the brush and modify the opacity and the mode to overlay, soft light or multiple due to your likings. Easy and effective right?

My friend has used this as her desktop background. I took the picture of blue sky from shutterstock.com. Just go there to choose some pictures to make your own world.
Here it is:
