Let's see... yah. I just shot tis pic while i was doing framing for my church yearbook picture. Thought some people might be interested in my... my... handsome picture XD (THICK-SKIN SELF PROMO ALERT).

Btw, I was wrong about the church yearbook design deadline. Some of you might have noticed I getting so stress up in school and ignoring most people. Man! I wasn't giving anyone attitude. Im jus too tired. And I never sleep from Sunday to Wednesday(Only a few hours nap from time to time). Today, I reckon that I will not sleep again. Too much things to do. Blog, supper, design my mom n dad's 23th anniversary card and finishing up all my church design!

Talking about design... I really felt that I've once again acquire the passion of design. All thanks to my SIP and my supervisor, Wayne, who kept giving me design stuff to do. I was a bit reluctant at first but after my 3 mths SIP, I realize my design is better =D

And I begin to realize and see into design around me. Every living thing is a work of design of God which I think is beautiful. The design world just suddenly start to fancinate me once again. All the small details and little touches of designer that make simple everyday things interesting. Every design element is there for a reason. 

Recently, I was checking out the new MacBook which I think is beautiful. Steve Job's lackey (haha) pointed out that the new Macbook is simple and stylish and they eliminate everything they feel shouldn't be there. Every elements that remains is there for a reason.

I wholehearted agree with this statement. That's good design. You shouldn't plunk everything inside just because you like it. They must be there for a reason. Now I start to appreciate Art, appreciate creation of God, appreciate good Design... 

... but... shit happens. Designer is just human. Designer make mistake. Jus look at this Nokia N78 advertisement that was pasted on Chinatown MRT.

So... spot the mistake? Maybe you can't see it well... blame my bad phone camera.... nooo... blame my own camera skill (mus take responsible n not jus solely blame external stuff ;D) 

It read there... 0:52s(where the music is at) and 1:58s(total length of the music) so the bar should be in the middle instead of 1/3 way thru it. Did you get it? I think the designer thought that 1 minute has 100 seconds. So, 52s of 158s is about 1/3 of the bar. But remember what you study in primary school? 1 min has only 60 seconds, that mean 1:58s only has 108s!! so the ratio is about 1/2!!!

I just pissed off that the designer missed up this simple details... Even when I was at Convertium, my design go thru a whole series of checking and mistakes that I wasn't able to spot is spotted. Why did nobody spot this before it was printed =(

That's my rant for today. Off to design =D
