BUTTONista Polo-T

What is the definition of a button in your mind ? Round round button as shown in the picture?


Now, I'm impressed by the other design of a polo tee shirt in their sense of colors, cutting. Thus, now I'm having this idea ----- to put some creative ideas on the buttons and make
the t-shirt ALL HANDMADE.
This creative idea will highly grab the attention of the audience and it has shown the results.
We not only doing this t-shirt design by matching its color, its style, but also putting the idea inside the t-shirt.
We have tested the market, by letting customers to have a pre-order session for a limited amount ( maximum 60 pieces to be produced at the time as to test the market), but within 6 hours, there were almost 30+ people had already pre-ordered, and some of them paid in cash instantly although this HANDMADE polo-t has to wait for 14 days to complete.

Images TALk



Easy and understandable advertisement.
We are taught that not to use handphone while driving.
This advertisement simply use an image that showing a car crash, rather then telling drivers in words that, using mobile phones while driving will cause death.
Sometimes pictures talk.

Sometimes, we are hurt by WORDS

Too True to be TRUE, it's fact that silent kills, but too much of noise will only hurt ourselves.

It opens my mind that we usually calling those people who spreads rumors and gossips bitc*.
"Words hurt, 
You can't see them but the scares from
verbal abuse are real and can last for years.
Don't suffer in silence,"

This image had really creatively show out the meaning of WORDS HURT. It reminds me that I did hurt my dearest mum by my words when I was 7, but I regretted too late, because the damage has done.

This picture is very meaning that we can actually put more and more ideas to spread this meaning to the world. because they used a serious scar on the lips of the woman to show its seriousness.

sometimes-words-hurt
this picture also shows its funny and creative way of WORDS HURT.

CREATIVE and PROTECTIVE


CREATIVITY --__how to protect you belongings__--

As shown, it surprised me that a simple, nice, neat, and also creative way to keep our important belongings, even though robbers broke into our house, they will not be able to find those inconspicuous places.
Simply inspired me to put creativity into the way to protect our important one. Using some compartment spaces in my room and make it creative, the more inconspicuous the best it is.

Orange in Green Apple

This made me thought of "Never Judge By Its Cover"
We were taught to do so, but STILL we are practicing it all the time.

This picture simply showing an orange inside an apple, it's really depends on us how to have a deeper thought of thinking toward a issue.

It's about creative,  creative is not just applied in designing, but also in our "MODE" of thinking. With this image, it really extended my mode of thinking into a further stage.

Creative letters created by using the fingers, it's not a sign language but a typeface.
it inspired me to use shadow to do something special.
For example, we commonly created dogs, rabbits, with the candle light, we actually can use some thin paper to create a lighter shadow, and mix with some solid shadow, this will be more real and movements could be involved inside


this is a very AMAZING to describe the black and white art.
he uses simple items to create humanity movement with some expression in different angle.

L.o.v.e - L.O.v.e- L.O.V.e -L.O.V.E

I asked a boy about : what is L.O.V.E about ?
He answered : Love is when doggie licks our hands.
I smiled when listened to this answer, he added,"
even if you gonna leave it alone. "


what do you perceive when you read this ?
to me, it's a very special way to express our love, not only in the primary stage, but also the second stage or further stages that we have to go through in our lives.


why do i say second and further stages? that is because, the action " licks our hands" is the very first stage of showing our love, second or further stage i was referring in this conversation is the inner feeling to show our love even if someone leaves us alone.

it inspired me in writing.
enhance my writing skill to be more creative by using different simile or metaphor to describe an inner feeling of a thought....

Veggie Cowie


Vege is not only Vegetable anymore...
We traditionally put some simple vege like "Cameron Chili" or some green vegetable to decorate our main dishes.
This picture inspired me in sense of putting some creativity (e.g white coloring and black dots to become eyes ) into vegetable and they will become no more a decorative item, but also an attractive dish to be eaten too ( only if not using inedible ingredients )

this will not only increase the appetite of people who seen it, but also very nutritious to our human body.
this is very helpful in educating children on awareness to have enough vegetable (nutrition) if we apply it in our lives.

BBQ POSTER ~

This is what I called : COPY others idea to generate a new idea of mine.
It inspired me to use old paper texture to create a BBQ poster. I found the previous poster so dull, and I made the font fancier to become more catchy.

Simple as it's COMPLICATING


Fiona Sit - ''Better Me'' MV


This song by Fiona Sit amazed me.
Simple music video
Simple make up
Simple lyrics
Simple shooting
BUT it contains a complicated meaning inside.

it started with like two identical twins
at first, i thought they both are not related to each other
as the melody in, it reminds me like,
left girl is getting hurt from a relationship
right girl is consoling the left girl
 Left girl cried when right girl told her :
遠處海港傳來陣陣船笛
我一直飄零到被你揀起
如今望著反映窗戶玻璃
有個我陌生又熟悉
(translation on my own)
u remind me of the "past" me,
i was alone until i had met you in my life.
BUT now, i look into the reflection of the mirror,
it's me, but it's no longer the one I familiar with,
I'm not myself anymore.

Left girl look and right girl and ask the inner part of herself : can i really be a better me ?
Right girl : 
I can Smile a little more
Sing a little more
Feel a little more
全因為你 (because of you)
說好了要為幸福 一天天地練習 ( we have promised each other to live better, that's what we are practising now )
練習 Laugh a little more
Love myself a little more
要學會更加善待我自己 ( to learn how to treat myself better, and because of you, i became the BETTER ME )
為你我變成了 Better me
就是那麼神奇 (and it's so miracle )
從前的錯都有意義 ( we learned from our faults)
教我拋開所有猜疑 也許 ( to clear my doubts i doubted, and maybe )
我也美麗 值得一個奇蹟 ( i worth for a miracle )
我的眼淚會墜落 ( my tears drop )
絕不是因為懦弱 ( it's not because of being not confident )
而是感謝天讓我遇見你 
不然今天就不能 如此地有勇氣 ( i would like to thank GOD to let me could have the chance to meet you, and now i became braver )
Now I promise to you
And I can swear to you
為你我 一定加倍 珍惜*我自己 ( i learned how to love and appreciate myself)
做一個值得你 驕傲的 Better me ( to become a better me)
一個值得你 愛的Better me  (the one the you worth to be proud of )


This MV ends with a left girl smiling and right girl being so confident.




She smiles :-), because she finally realised that she could live better and to be a BETTER ME, for him
She being so confident, is because she knew she HAS TO live better to be a BETTER ME,for herself.









I would say this is a very successful MV that could bring its full meaning to its audience.
A song that named : BETTER ME, to everyone's first impression, it would be a song that singing to one person.
The director, simply to make this song into two identical twins, but it actually also brings the feeling of,
I'm talking to myself, I'm convincing myself to live better, to think and to see things positively.

It actually inspired me in the way how to brings out the lyrics into a MV
and creatively acted the lyrics out
I learned how to use right angle, right facial expression if i were to compose a video.

ART of BLACK n WHITE ( hope to have colorful version too )


simplest among all ~ 



Most ImpresSiVe! could not imagine of using japanese words can make the cat face....and the expression of the cat is clearly stated out by the typewriter....SALUTE him/her!



 I know typography is a type of design, but these pictures just AMAZED me again to inspire me to get more idea in typography.

Playing around with the skies ~



Makes me think of "Paint My love"

Sky Juice ?

Let's get one~





Chinese tradition Tai Ji,  they said people who practiced this could really do "Qi Gong" @@?


Skies are blue, this author creatively use the sky to do something people will never think to do. Even the skies are just in blue and white color, he/she fully utilized it and made it happened. Eventhough they might have been using photoshop, it's still a thumb up for his/her creativity.

These are the good examples that I would be able to generate more ideas on the designing.

What Stops You from being CREATIVE ?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vWKFaVrYxY




A simple Video with Simple Languange just made me think of many things.


Yes, we did climb to a tree which is taller than us, but we believed we could make it without noticed that we might be falling down as well, yet, we MADE it.



This video inspired me in the sense of the creativity of using words with audio effect, and some pictures as add-on could make people thinking of the things that

we might have forgotten,

which we may already lost in faith.








The way they highlighted the words, with the expression of showing the hope and sadness, the combination makes me think of SADness is not just only with heart broken nor BLACK background to bring out the sadness and hopeless, but a WRINKLED paper will bring the feeling of FRUSTATION too
