text and image type

typographic illustration and image or shaping text is essentially lighthearted and fun. It turns straight typography into graphic configurations with a degree of legibility, informing and entertaining the reader in an emotive way, as well as relieving the formality of conventional text.

Character drawing

Regarding the previous post, I've stated that got few styles of character drawing...this is the manga style from japan..as wat i said, comic is playing an important role for japanese as their spiritual supporter for every age level of people...

this is the american style...

Geometry Shapes

In drawing class, we learned that actually every object is form by several geometric shapes such as cube, cylinder, cone, pyramid, sphere and so on. Because of these shapes so that it made the object 3D and not 2D (if using only square, circle, rectangle, triangle). We need to see through the object to understand the inner structure and outlook as well. So that we could rotate it into different angle by drawing out. Once u understand the structure of it, you can redraw the same thing with different angle or surface. First, we learn to use a shape to develop a character. Then we need to analyze the structure of a real object like lorry, motor, machine etc. to draw it out in solid (3D) way. Besides, we have to know the knowledge of perspective so that it could make a layout more interesting and 3D. We've learnt 1 point, 2 point, 3 point of perspective. Before we start to draw a layout, we have to practice on human drawing. For instances, the American style (X-men), manga style (comic). In between, teacher told us that actually comic is a hero for Japanese. It stand for a high place in Japan because it is a spirit support for them after the world waR 2. Comic is read by all classes or age levels of person.

Letterhead~

Since i need to create a letterhead to write a bussiness letter, I've do some research about the design of letterhead. Here are the collection which I think more attractive than the others. For company letterhead, usually they dont take the special design or they'll think that "too much"! But for me, this kind of letterhead is more attractive and do not feel boring at all. Ya of course I understand they are a company! They need some formal and simple and easy letterhead to represent their IMAGE. Sure, what the impression on the letterhead equal to what the impression to the company.

So...formal = boring ?! Maybe not... we should use the layout pattern to decorate the letter, to make it more different... like the letterhead can put it in the middle on the top, or at the corner bottom.. we should change the color... but not too colorful so that it wont feel "too much"! i think we can use 2 or 3 colors enough.. besides the layout, the logo design also is important to the visual effect. We can use the company product as a logo, or company names and so on. How about the background? As shown in the picture, we use the logo as a background in watermark or grayscale... because this kind of effect wont grab the attention of the content(if the background is fulfil the whole pg space). If its only at the bottom then its ok but not too complicated or colorful too... Let's take a look at those pictures~

Web Design

i just attend the Web Deisgn class only i realized that the web design is not as much as easy i think=( i heard from friends which the html code we need to memorize so that we can apply it smoothly and easily... so far, i just suffer in a task on monday... we need to deisgn a college web which consists of 5 pgs within 2 hrs... i've just done 1 pg and im not satisfy with it....because the composition is too easy, normal, little.. whereby others design should be complicated, neatly, and really seems like a web...here are some examples i found...they didnt follow the basic or normal composition or design.. they used to let the words or the picture as their attraction...the toolbar can put it in different way but not the ordinary position...they can match the color nicely and use color to highlight the important slogan or picture and so on...in conclusion, their layouts are creative and attractive. This is because the color, picture, title, composition. I think before the html, i should be learn the composition in advance!

UmbrelLA~

I remember that day when im waiting for the bus in the hot evening, I saw a women carrying a lace umbrella. I was attracted by her umbrella. Because I never saw any people carry this kind of special umbrella but the normal plain umbrella. I was thinking there, creative can really make a thing different! Designer have created lace umbrella, transparent umbrella, silver umbrella, cartoon (or animal) umbrella and so on. They have made the changes on it, decorate it, and turn it into a same product but with higher aesthetic value. This is the effect of DESIGN or creative. At the same time, I was thinking that how about I apply the illustration image on the umbrella instead of the cartoon image? So that it will add the colorful, cheerful, artistic atmosphere on the street when people carrying this kind of umbrella no matter during the sunny day or rainy day.
