Another passion of design

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 04:39:06 GMT

Ok, so it's not exactly my forté nor is it even remotely what I do for fun, but cars have always been a great hobby of mine, and the styling definitely comes into part.

So without dragging on, I'd like to introduce you to the Zonda Cinque Roadster.

They really spared no expense creating this beautifully crafted machine. I'll spare you the details of sheer power and technical advances this god-like machine sports, but you can at least feast on some visually stunning metal.

BoA Bump! Bump!

So recently I've been completely mesmerized by this song from BoA feat Verbal. When I hear a tune and I like it, I'll play it literally to death and then some. It's got a really catchy beat, and the video itself is pretty good to watch with BoA looking good as ever!

Brighter days

Over the weekend I made a day trip out to Stanley Beach over on Hong Kong island. It was a beautiful day full of sunshine and breeze and was a huge contrast to the previous week where it was extremely humid. In fact it was so damp, the walls started sweating!

Anyway, here's a short look photo summary of my trip to beautiful Stanely Beach.

A little disappointed, but it happens...

So just a few weeks back, I entered a Blackberry Bold 9700 Domeskin competition and sent in these submissions...

and obviously from the title of this entry none of them were selected as finalists. Anyway, you win some you lose some right?

Take a look and vote for the finalists, and may the best one win!

Bentley Sunglasses

I must digress a little as I just came across these ridiculously insane sunglasses from Bentley!

I love the finer things in life, but this is the epitome of wealth! $15,000 Plantinum frames is where it's at!

Craft Ltd : Passion tee

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:46:45 GMT

Alrighty, I think I'm getting the hang of running Spreadshirt now. Clearly I have tons to learn still, but it's definitely interesting to be running an online shop as an experiment if anything. On that note, aside from figuring out how to run Spreadshirt, I've added a new design!

I hope you enjoy it!

So I've started a little side project and jumped into trying my hand at designing some t-shirts. Fashion has always been a passion of mine, aside from graphics, so I've started to develop some designs for t-shirts in the time being.

Craft is a little project of mine that I've always wanted to start and I've been sitting on the idea for a long time trying to perfect the idea, but what's the point of sitting on it and doing nothing about it right? I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do! Leave a message or go all out and buy a t-shirt! I would love the support! Thanks!

Postbox Mail Program

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 06:52:07 GMT

I just stumbled on a wonderful little mail app that appears to one-up Thunderbirds excellent useability and features.

It's called Postbox and despite how I'm starting off praising the excellent features of this neat little program, I actually do have something design related to talk about! I was surfing the Postbox website, and while reading through their "About" section I came across a sub-link directing me to learn a little more about the designer who had created the Postbox logo!

With most corporate sites, there is hardly any dedication towards the graphics and designers of their wonderful brand image, but this was very different and even goes as far as allowing us to see the excellent development of the Postbox logo! EXCITING!

The logo is designed by a very talented designer by the name of Mike Rohde and a more complete bio on him can be found on the Postbox website here.

Without further ado, I present you the image set on Flickr that documents the initial concepts to the finalized product! It's great to see it unfold like this!

Art School Reviews

I was asked recently to write a review on the Ontario College of Arts & Design and the program that I had gone through. I'm not sure if there are any other OCAD alumni or other OCAD prospectus students reading my blog, but there are other views on this website and they seem to take from a good sample of alumni across different years to pull a good conclusion for prospectus students going into design school.
