My iPhone app

Lately, I tend to forget I have an iPod… I got tons of music in there but still I forget to take it to my work. Because my iPhone does all now. I got music, I got contact info, I got an internet connection, I got a lot of info I can search from… And I got a great app “CameraBag”. It makes all the photos I took prettier. I have a major under Photography (and Graphic Design) and used to experiment a lot of stuffs with a lot of kind of films and paper. Experiment, experiment… It was fun but got really expensive thing to study.

My professor used to say “digital camera is not real camera”. I totally understand because analog camera creates such a nice taste and color to the photo. Digital can’t beat that.
However it can’t beat the cost either…

Since I don’t do photography professionally, iPhone app does enough for me now. Just for fun.

“CameraBag” got a lot of effects such as:Helga, Mono, Magazine, LOLO, 1962, 1974, Cinema, Infrared, Fisheye etc.. It’s a great app.

I totally think iPod will be gone soon for good in near future… How sad is that.

Design / Art is always subjective…

Design + Art gets to be always subjective… My days after I came back from Europe became super duper busy at my full time job and freelance job. Somehow, people finally remember I am here or something. I got a few deadline that I have to accomplish by end of this week. So, of course I was rushed and I had to post the brand new page I just created… I thought it looks good on color scheme, and layout wise. It’s not too bad in my personal opinion. But I knew it’s not specifically for my industry where I work for.
(I won’t say what kind of industry I work here though…) But some people thought it was weak, won’t stand out blah blah blah. Some people thought it looks great.
Honestly, I would like to ignore those negative comments because they won’t understand how short time I had to create that but I can’t and shouldn’t… Negative comments can be positive later. I hate to hear negative opinion though… Well, who does… I try to think that even though I got short period of time to create a big page, I still need to design good. Good and Fast… And if I can’t do that yet, that means I am not a good designer yet… Hard but it’s a good challenge I guess…

(01) – I took it at T in the Park in Baldo, Scotland on 07-11-09. It was a great music festival. I’ve never forget, and I would like to go back someday.
(02) – I took it at a bar it’s called “Deaf Institute” in Manchester, UK. 07-08-09. My friend and I expected to meet people there since they had a couple Universities there but unfortunately they were in summer vacation… Bummer!

My Milk Toof – Artist: Inhae Renee Lee

ickel_mymilktoof

I found this adorable “Toof” character through Facebook. After one of my friends became a “fan”, I had to see what’s going on with the cute photo.  I checked some of the photos on FB, and I also found her blog as well, and had to visit. I just couldn’t get enough… hehe

I’ve seen 2 characters so far: Ickle and Lardee.

As I am looking at those photos, I assume (at least trying) Ickle is the shy one and Lardee is friendly one.

The story this artist Inhae Renee Lee writes and how it develops on each shots, how she creates on each expression on their faces, and how she shoot their photos are beautiful and tickle my heart and I want to chuckle because my heart is so tickled by their cuteness.  He can eat, he can chew, he can read, he can be shy…  Can I be your friend, Ickle and Lardee? :)

I asked Inhae about this characters if she sells anywhere in any kind of products. Her answer is: no… :(

But she is thinking about making a book in the future. Totally you should go for this, Inhae! I will be the first customer to buy your book! :) I am very looking forward to seeing your project each time!

ickle Ickle is getting his teeth out.

lardee This is Lardee.  Thoughtful Lardee.
