Wahahaahaahhahaha. Shit I swear I am so damn high right now. Cos I’m on holidays, and I’ve got nothing to do already. High as in just high, not particularly high on alcohol or whatever lahh. 10am in the morning u know, high on alcohol meh? Siao.

Anyway.

WOAHHHHHH!

Feels damn nice to start blogging again. I’m damnnnn bloody free now. My semester just ended last friday. And I’m a free flying bird now. It’s like at one period I have too much things to do until I don’t even have the time to shit. And now suddenly it’s the period where I have NOTHING to do and too much time until I have not enough shit to shit.

Shit. I talking damn senselessly nowadays. I think it’s the boredom.

I’m gonna hang out with Brenda Bummy Bum Bum today! Haven’t seen her in ages. Bren also finished her A2 exams, so she’s also flying around, even more gangster than me. She’s everydayyyyy out. :P

Eh ehhh. Come I show you some of my semester’s final works. This is Graphic Design final assignment on HIV Posters and Postcards. This assignment is Limkokwing Uni collaborating with UNICEF. Our posters are suppose to create public awareness to protect ourselves from HIV.

My concept is “Practice Safe Sex”. And I got this idea based on a true story that was told by a friend of mine, of which it happened to a friend of his friend I think.

I photographed all of my series of posters below myself, using my Nikon D60, 18-55mm lens and another 28-100mm lens. :)

(this hand is Nick’s hand! :D hahaha)
.
.

(JitZ’s hand! lulz.)

This one is from a guy to a guy as you can see, because I wanted to project in my poster that not only sexual intercourse between male and female would stand a chance to be infected with HIV, but also between homosexuals. Whenever or wherever there is fluid transmission, there are chances of HIV.

(Lynn’s hands! All my models for my series of posters =) )
.

I think I did fairly well in this assignment. My lecturer commented on how he was impressed with the outcome of my series of posters. And I was even overjoyed when he selected my series of work to be presented to UNICEF. We were told that if UNICEF likes our work, they’d probably use it internationally. :D :D :D

Wahahaha.

Okok. Omg 10:20am already. I have to go bathe soon. I think I cannot finish posting all the pictures by now. Never mind. I’ll post two or three more.

Moving on, now it’s my Basic Illustration subject. It’s something like Life Drawing class. I have 2 portrat sketches. Nothing really to shout about, but here’s just to share.
.

.

I personally think this is by far my best human portrait sketch till to date although yeah still have loads to improve on.
.
.

.
.
This Christian Bale portrait sketch of mine quite fail lah actually. The nose there something wrong you know. Maybe the proportion of it is a slightly smaller than what it should be. Hmmmm.

I showed this to the boyfriend and I asked him to guess who. He asked me, “OHHHH TOM CRUISE IS IT??”

-.-

No good.
.

This is my final assignment for Basic Illustration class. We painted an A2 canvas based on the theme of “Heal The World”.

I chose to draw a globe, and paint it in red and orange colours. I used these warm colours to depict global warming. And the background, I drew a repetition pattern of peace symbols, and painted them in gradient from yellow, to green, and to blue. I chose these colours because they are harmonious and cool colours, which may represent “peace”.

:)

Sooo yess.

These are a few of my artworks that got me busy like hell for God knows how long. Just wanted to share them with you guys, also a proof of me being MIA for so long.

p/s: Becky!! See I never con you!!! I really got alot of work ok so tak jadi update blog. Now I update edi you better read ah. Or not you come back I burn your ass. lulz :P

Yours truly,
Cheryl, I AM SOOOOOO FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

We were suppose to create and design our own CD Albums based on our own preferred concept.

My concept was on eternal love. And I photographed a long road, and used it to be as my main graphic for my album. Why? Cos a long road can illustrate a never-ending journey travelled by a pair of love couples.

Yeah, some shit like that.

I spent 6 fucking sleepless nights to do this shit! I swear to God, I’m dead as a corpse now. My eyes is 3 times worse than a panda. It’s like I have 6 eyes now; 2 eyes, and 4 eyebags.

I love the picture of the long road which I photographed at Cyberjaya just outside of my college.

I literally put my life at risk to take that photo. I stood right in the middle of the road and got honked by cars, and motorcyclists speeding off pass me like mad, and getting cock stares from all the drivers.

Yeahh. I’m still alive, Amen. lol

Well don’t think that I’m cocking or bullshitting you la okay, said got alot of cars n all, but the picture got no cars at all.

WELL THATS BECAUSE I HAD TO PHOTOSHOP THE ENTIRE PHOTO AND REMOVE ALL THE CARS

-.-

The amount of work to complete this shit, I mean, Album right….. hmmphhhhh. Undescribable.
.
.
I had been reaaaaally stressed out the past week. 6 sleepless nights. Fucking 6. Sleepless. Nights. And when I mention “Sleepless”, I LITERALLY meant SLEEPLESS.

I wake up in the morning, go to college, come back in the afternoon, begin my work, all the way till 4am the next day. The only break I took was during dinner, and that’s like only a 30 mins break.

And during the weekend, I woke up in the morning and rushed off to complete my Album, and did it till 7am the next day. Went to bed to get SOME rest, and woke up at 9am to begin work again.

This shitty cycle, for SIX BLOODY DAYS CONSECUTIVELY! I’m pooooofed. You can so imagine.
.

p/s: You are awesome and I cherish you. If it weren’t for you accompanying me everywhere in my process of completing this assignment, and comforting me everytime I’m so super stressed out, and being a retarded ass and making me laugh like hell, I think I’d spent not only 6 sleepless nights, but 6 sleepless CRYING nights. I appreciate you being there for me at the time I needed you most because I’ve never been this stressed out and worried over an assignment before. You’re my strss rlvr! 4 5683 968 :)

Yeah I had dengue the past 2 weeks, and finally fully recovered. Seriously getting dengue is no fun at all.

I just found out that at my housing row, there are 8 houses which had dengue as well. The total of ppl who suffered from dengue here? I have not a clue. But it’s pretty serious here. Thankfully the ministry of health people came and did some serious fogging.

They literally came inside our house and fogged everywhere.

I had super high fever the past 2 weeks. I couldn’t eat or drink anything, because when I do, I feel like throwing out. In the end, I had to be admitted to the hospital. And went on drips.

Woah being on drips is not fun wehhhhhh. The drips was on my left hand. So my left hand was practically like paralysed.

Well okay, you can actually still use and move your hand around. Actually, you are ADVISED to move your hand around. Or not it will turn numb and swollen. Like what happened to my left hand, because I didn’t move it at all. I was too scared to move my hand around because… Okay. Imagine your hand being connected to this metal bar with tubes and water bags by a needle in your vein??

Exactly my point.

Lol.

I always have this imagination that the needle will break inside my vein. Or some shits like that.

And also because when I move my left hand too much, blood flows out from my vein.. then I can see my blood inside the tube flowing. Ughh.. damn geli.
.
.
The first day when I was on drips, I really wasn’t use to it. I didn’t know how to move around with the metal bar and tubes and water bags with me. My mom had to help me into the toilet. YES! I have to drag the drips bar along with me into the toilet okay!

Saw how pathetic not.

And I didn’t get to bathe for 3 days. Fucking disgusting, seriously.

And firstly I didn’t know how to change my clothes.. because my left hand is stuck with the drips thing. So I had to get the nurse to help me change my shirt.  And that was the first time someone ever helped me change my shirt. And the nurse saw me braless -.-

I felt like a paralysed patient. Very embarrassing.
.
.
Well thankfully I’m alright now. And I had not been updating my blog because I’ve been missing 2 weeks of college. That means 2 weeks load of assignments!!!!!!

I feel like killing myself now. So much to catch up. I don’t know if I can manage, but I must try. And here are some pictures of some assignments that I have been busy with these few days =)
.

.

We were suppose to take photographs of things around us that looks like alphabets from A-Z. So we had to be really observant. Jitz helped me with this assignment when we were having a drink at Pyramid 2 days ago.

The both of us were staring at every single thing around us like retarded people. Like as though we have never went to a shopping mall before. Lol

Now everything looks like an alphabet to me!
.
.

.
.
I designed this entire thing myself! And made it myself! I damn proud wehh.. hahahaha.

We were suppose to design a carton of any choice of our drinks.. and make the real product like as though it is being sold in the market.

So that’s my drink, Ryl’s Bubble Tea. Damn chun this assignment, cos it’s like damn real. Seriously got Ingredient, Nutrition information, manufacturer, barcode.. all that shit lahh. Hahaha.
.
.
So yeap.

You know how fast I’m typing now not? Like speed typing you know. Cos I’m in a rush. To bathe and eat dinner. And go out after that.

Omg 2 weeks being lost in touch with everything, and now I feel like I don’t have enough time for anything!!

Okokokokokok. GOT TO GO.

Bye all!

Laters!

To some, I know creating or developing a logo is a really simple thing to do.

But the process of this assignment was rather long.

Firstly, we had to walk around our entire Limkokwing campus, and sketch really quickly 20 different nature subjects that we see. Like leaves, flowers, roots, whatever.

We were only given about 30mins, to SEARCH for nice nature subjects, and SKETCH them down. Mind you, the sketches weren’t in scribbles, they actually had to be more or less quite detailed.

Hmmm…

Okay fine. So after the sketching, the lecturer picks a few, like 3-5 out of those 20 sketches, which they find have potential to be developed and modified into logos.

I settled down with my look-alike-clover petal sketch, and developed them into 20 different logo shapes/types.

The lecturer picks the best out of the 20, and there again, develop another 10 from there.

And finally, the final design of the logo is picked, BUT we’re still not done yet. We have to do develop them into different colour schemes, and see which suits best.

And obviously, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to choose coloured inks, because we cannot be printing our logos out, we would have to COLOUR them. And coloured inks on A4 will only create patchy ugly uneven outcomes.

So that’s my logo up there. Long process aye.

Okay next.

Painted with Poster colour on cartridge paper trimmed to A4 size, mounted on black A3 mounting board.

This is by far one of my favourite paintings so far.

This process is much shorter. Less rules, less whatsoever. But much more effort.

In this Colour Mode Assignment, we were asked to go home and draw an illustration or any graphic pictures, well they even accepted cartoon pictures. We were allowed to print the illustration/graphic out, and trace it to cartridge paper. Well only because this is a colour mode assignment, so I suppose drawing isn’t being tested much on.

I was never quite a fan of anime, though quite a number of my classmates did choose anime as their illustration. One even chose powerpuff girls, and the other, Pokemon.

Hmmm…

I really had no idea what to choose. So I ended up drawing my own illustration as shown above.

Once our illustrations are approved, the lecturer will give us a theme to base on when we colour/paint our work.

Sooooo, my lecturer was mean enough to make things difficult for me on purpose by giving me a theme on “Trapped in a Lift”.

It was obvious my hand-drawn illustration was targetting towards bright vivid colours, and I knew he could tell. But he refused to be kind, and hence the difficult theme.

However, after much time spent on deciding on colours, I managed to pull through and painted the above illustration based on the theme given. I handed up my work. My lecturer didn’t have much to say. I asked if I did it correctly. He nodded and said well done there.

I was happy. Worth all my effort after all.

Okay this typography assignment was actually firstly based on an article that we choose which has a Headline. Clearly, the article I chose was from a women’s Magazine, Cleo to be specific.

So from our headlines chosen, like “Deadly Spending Sins”. We had to draw many many sketches of suitable typefaces and alignments for our headlines. We weren’t allowed to draw using references of existing typefaces.. so yeah, that was one of the hardest part I guess.

After our design and alignment of words are approved, we then have to search for typefaces which looks most similar to the ones we drew in our design.

Then we had to trace and modify according to our designs.. and complete it on our final artwork. This assignment wasn’t hard at all, maybe because I love typography. However, it is a very very precised assignment.
.
.
And the other assignments or artworks for my Design Studies 02 are basically on my integrated project already. So… that’s about all.

I’m currently painting on my 2ft X 2ft canvas, roughly the same illustration I painted on the cartridge paper above. Hehee :)

I think I’ll post on my Life Drawing assignments next, though I know only to create more humiliation and embarassment to myself. Hahaha

Yours truly,
Cheryl, back to painting. yay!

My fingers from my thumb to my last pinky of both hands were colourful and filthy. They were all covered with soft pastel colours. Soon enough, my left elbow was in blood red colour.

I needed to release my bladder then. When I looked in the mirror, I saw my forehead was black-brownish in colour. For a moment I thought I could roughly imagine myself as a red indian.

My nose started to itch a little. I tried resisting the itch and continue on my soft pastels. I kept reminding myself that all of my fingers were filthy, and that it’s impossible to rub my nose.

Well my final artwork is almost there. I was indeed very excited to finish it to its very last bit. I think I was left with only a small square column of it uncoloured. I couldn’t wait to get it complete.

And that was when, I totally forgotten how dirty/colourful my fingers were, and started rubbing my nose. (well don’t ask me how pastels smell like)
.

.

Since we were allowed to change the original colour of the settings to any other colours we preferred, I decided to play with warm and vibrant colours instead of the original rather dull colours of the setting.

From the picture above, my final artwork is almost done. Not fully completed only because I have yet to do the touch ups. I would need to use some charcoal for more shadow, tone and value effects at some parts, and sharp coloured pencils for the face details. Other than that, I hope I’m ready-to-go and hand up this A2 boxboard artwork!

I’m about to go bathe and get ready to head out of home later. Will be heading down to KL for some photogrpahy outing with my college mates, Charles and Veen. I hope the weather stays good throughout *crosses fingers*.

Cheryl, I want to buy an easel. Or should I steal?
