We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand and we'll make it - I swear

Icon Progression Status:
Vectors: Get the highlights done, more emotion(!)
Pixels: Shadows Highlights, where are the gawd dang fires(?!)
Wallpaper: Aiya Seiloh.

Vectors
Candy corn, it's fudging corn, that tastes like candy. And so it goes that we stupid people pass on a legacy of shied. The roof, the roof is on fire, we don't need no water let the motherfudger burn, burn motherfudger, burn.




Pixels
I've got something and it goes somthing and it goes thumping like this. All you need is my un tiss un tiss un tisss baby un tiss




WIP: Vector Wallpaper
Thank you. You totally made me miss Damages last night *spit* Should have recorded it *Spit Spit* That's why here to fill that opening again.

The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else's lake.

Progress on the the Digital Media Posters:
Many changes sorely required for the current layouts; presentation next week and oh my Goddess can this be finished on time? Stay tuned. Like you'll ever want to. Fudge off!

Outdoor media: Key chain, Bunting, Toilet seat paper, the Space shuttle and maybe a sweet roll.

Some kind of bunting on a gallery maybe. No wait the chickens have not been prepared. Illidan, Get me some good all fashioned bull feathers.

Have you ever noticed that no matter how many times you put them in the ground, they fudgin just POP back to life?

And so there you have it, all the flowers without the damn colors. No clouds today but if it happened Rambo wouldn't look like a wolf. So much for the contender in sheep's skin. Only the bees need them but the king didn't mate with her yet. Perhaps too many killer bunnies frolicking around scared the shit living daylights out of them. I don't know what crawled into it and died. It's a pity, it would have been nice jewelry.

Kids can play here too

Too many bloody songs about rainbows

SWATCH Analysis (Lol): A report on the color selections project X


If you walked into a Japanese garden, you'd probably be smacked down in the face with these hues. Unless you're stupid enough to visit during the other seasons where they won't match.


Did you remember those 1940 superhero comics? I'm Filo so prefer Batman.


This is why you should never scan an ad from IKEA, the blue cannot match the actual one but it does feel like it right? Wrong. It was a lie.


The petals from Van Gough's Sunflower. Maybe maybe not.


Color scheme from Gundam's RX-78. OMGLZRGUNPEWPEW


This one in particular reminds me of Aerosmith's song, "Pink". However you shouldn't listen to him too much. You might get caught in the shower thinking you're better at singing.

Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning

The four posters for Digital Design are almost ready. I think I've invested too much time on it(Look at the gawd dang time yo), so I bloody hope it gets approved for finalization tomorrow.



BLOG MODS:
Slight adjustments to the blog's color scheme and titles for clarity, enhanced the 'Friends' list, spruced up the side titles. Please let me know your blog's address for instant addition. Idiotically screwed up the chat box during the tweaking process resulting in all the messages being sent to a parallel universe, so any guru out there, please help me recover them back if you know how. However, I do remember the last post; you're Felicia arn't you? (^_~)

Through despair and hope, faith and love

Progress on the Digital Media's "Wonderful World" Project,

God's eye and man's perception of the manifestation of the universe
- Reticulation: The creation as philosophized by the messiahs and the artificial deity's mindset
- Reprisal: The grand reset, similar to the forty days of rain or the the meteor impact that wiped out the dinosaurs
- Remembrance: The day celebrated by the future or survivors of genesis, where artifacts of our presence is the only mark of our past presence
- Reaction: So what can you do as one or with others to save our fabricated dimension?

Progression unending

Need to think of the colors, confirmation on the last two icons required


Oh for cripes sakes take this away and feed it to the crocodiles.



Comments on swatch layout, update soon


Preliminary rounds for the wallpaper, gonna do this all in illustrator, hehe.

The search for extra inspirations

This calendar is cool. It's mine too.


I mean you can write stuff on it!

Part IV: A less stylish approach, Gloriosa Generosa

Summary:

• The new banner WiP
• Progress on the mobile icon designs
• Tons of rubbish that's important to me

I thought that creating a custom title header would liven up things up around here. As part of the subject curriculum , here's a few shots of the process.

Sketching out the panels
Here was the initial idea; rather than having a bunch of typography/design elements or background-digital-manifested-thematic greeting system plotted, I thought it would be pretty cool if I went back to basics and just plop some servants to greet the audience. The answer was to have two lovely young volunteers which would be Akazukin and Mirai. Domo arigato gozaimasu, hime sama.



Inking is the devil.
I have to be honest with you, This is not Manga. Manga art is clean, beautiful and elegant. This style is mother fudging messed up. This would be fudging fail if it were to be passed up as figure studies homework. Therefore it is more than perfect for this blog.



Giving some... no. Just a little bit of depth
Hurry hurry this should have been done half and hour ago.


Progress on 'Fantasy World' iconography:
The next refinement process is to add 3/4 angles for the vectors and making the pixel icons prominent. The 'satellite' icon needs a new direction.



Testing this one

Hues of insufferable happiness

The manual of Taiko no Tatsujin (Drum Master) has got one of the happiest color palettes, period. ALL HAIL BRITANIaa...aiyahh



Some vector art self-portrait. I'm not too proud of it. Oh for cripes sakes burn this monstrosity of an abomination in that it forever decomposes into idiotic elements.

Lesson Three

Confirmation for mobile icons

The goals of the following posts (as well as future iterations) are to record the progression of this project in that it may benefit those who seek guidance throughout the class embarkation and to further familiarize with the practice of the blogosphere community.













Buddy Icon WiP



Work complete


Some additional notes

The search for Inspiration

Lesson 2

The icons from http://www.forrestwalter.com/icons/ are fantastic. Gort's had them for nearly a decade yet their rendered timelessness remains formidably unmatched.



There has to be a way to incorporate simplicity the the projects icons. I think these examples from the Iconography book would be perfect reference..

Mapping out the possibilities:

The first cluck is the deepest

Welcome to the official inauguration of this blog. Most of the sub-features have yet to be wired up but over the next coming weeks, you may expect to see auxiliary conjured dodecapos going online. And now on to our first topic:

Patapon, a game based on the designs of French designer Rolitoland shipped from Japan on the 20th of December and has finally arrived on Malaysian shores(to me doorstep to be specific ^_~). It's no surprise Famitsu gave it a Platinum Award, this was after all the same team of developers that created Loco Roco a few years back. The English version of Patapon will debut on February. For now, relish in the 日本語 version. 日本ばんざい.













Cover box, inside and out + manual and actual gameplay

Draft implementation examination mark II

A Disclaimer: Meticulous scrutiny of the following paragraphs may lead to unpredictable side effects such as nausea, headaches, uncontrolled zombie-rioting, vomitting and/or thermal nuclear explosions of broccoli-eating squirrels bursting out of your kid's chest like in Alien vs Predator 2 but mostly little boys. The human race would have been in such a mess(no wait it already is), if all the animals in the world had a prefrontal cortexl; racoons would be the first to colonize Mars and the dingo dogs would be piloting Jehuty and Anubis. Thank the Gods that hasn't happened despite the fact we see humanity constantly struggling to achieve it. For example if we head to Las Vegas and observe at every gizmo presented at the CES 2008 we'll cry, "Oh my god. They still break down." That's why we got exhibitions, to instill a sense of false security of what's to come while our left brain sub-consciously filters out the consequences of each implementation. An endless cycle of new devices that conk out on every emerging situation critical. The only time we can safely buy a phone is when it's available at the same shelf we purchase color pencils. The bloody things' been working for decades without any problems. As Douglas Adams coins it, we're living in the 'Disappointing Phase'.

So what difference can we do? If it takes Nine million people to make a difference playing an online game, why can't that be easily be done in the real world? Two words; corporate entanglement. World War III has started and it's the battle our heads. The dictated apparel we wear, the processed artificial chemically genetic food we consume is a stark indication that corporations have successfully brainwashed society. The Neocons and Advertising Agencies love to classify our demographic statistics in a category called: "The Urban Jungle", although it's more of... The Human Zoo Think about it. News corporations working in close tandem with the government, An eastern country poised on harming the endangered whale species(in the name of science), one barrel of oil breaches the one hundred US dollar line. Children in Iraq are dieing and what do we do about it?

Malls are turning into our second home. They have built in waterfalls, gardens and even theme parks. Our family is irrelevant. Only the materialistic attitude (That was hammered into us during our innocence) that forces you... no compels you to consume more of Earth's scarce resources. At the expenese of our environment. Surely society has to power to do something about it?

So what is our purpose? After everything has been consume, after nations have destroyed each other, massively, surgical precision or guerrilla inclined, Do we re-define the values of what it is to be a human?

How's that for an official test post. Heh.! Don't take it too seriously. Yet.
