Me Myself and I (part 3)

YAY. i finally managed to conquer adobe illustrator! haha
Here are my computerized pieces!
I've made quite alot of adjustments to the 2nd piece! i scaled the letters to make them more proportionate. And i adhered closely to the rules of primary-school-handwriting. :)

I'll upload lecture 1 and 2 assignments asap! (i'll always take a lil longer time when i needa scan the drawings. cause i needa trouble my dad to scan it for me in the office heh)

anw, do feel free to leave any comments on these 2 pieces! :D

Me Myself and I (part 2)



During last week's tutorial, we had the critique session whereby everyone of us will share our opinions on one another's work.

There are quite a few good pieces. my favourite piece was by a guy called Joel.
He designed his name with the chinese characters of SHANGHAI. it was really cool and innovative!

Well.. back to the feedbacks on my 2 roughs.
For the ART roughs. The class preferred the top one to the bottom one.
because it was:
- more readable
- clearer
- clear cut
- neater
i only needa add colours to make it better cause the design is great alrdy! :P


as for the ANIMAL roughs. the class preferred the top one as well
because:
- the animals were cuter
- many loved the giraffe (feedbacks from my friends)
- it was more creative
- less confusing

However, I was told to do some scaling and resizing.
as you can see, my I (giraffe/ostrich) is kinda out of proportion. cause its longer and taller than the Y(the rabbit/lion). My N(snail) is also too small. so its kinda confusing.
Julian taught us to follow the "primary school hand writing theory" so that our characters will look more readable and normal.

For eg. my YING will look like YING. (:


I'm currently making some adjustments here and there as well as adding colours to my pieces!
By the coming wednesday, we have to show our computerized pieces! im really bad with these softwares so im kinda worried. but im trying my best to make them look good. (:

that's all for now! cause i shall get to bed so i can wake up in time for lecture tmr. ciaosss~

Me Myself and I


Last week during lecture, we were assigned our very first assignment: Me Myself and I.
We were supposed to design our names with objects/anything which represents us!
So i started brainstorming for ideas and started "observing" myself, reflecting on what could arouse my interests or attention and i came up with these!

My name is Ying Ying and I love
1) Singing:
I realise i sing ALL THE TIME, so singing is definitely something part of me!

2) Animals

3) Shopping:
all girls love shopping, righttt? :p

4) Hairstyling:
i like to pay alot of attention on people's hairstyles cause i think it could really affect ones outlook.

My name is Ying Ying and I like
1) Gaming:
Not really a very enthu gamer, but i love L4D and SUPER MARIO -- my all time favourite ;)
2) Sports
3) Photography
4) Art

basically this list are the things i do during my free time or the things that make me happy when i see them/doing stuff related to them

Here are the sketches:



MOVING ONNN...

it was a realllyyyy hard choice. but i decided to choose the following!

1) My name is Ying Ying and I love Animals
The roughs:


2) My name is Ying Ying and I like Art
The roughs:
