Today is the last day of classes for the winter quarter! woohoo! Actually, my last day of classes was yesterday. I still have 2 finals next week though! =_=

Anyway, yesterday was MY last day of classes and I was happy but also sad because it was a really fun class and I learned a LOT! I’m going to share with you all, the last project I did. It was really fun because I finally learned how to do some tricks with water color.

Anyway, I am really glad I’ll get to take a nice long(er) break soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Okay, this is already one of my favorite websites. It’s basically like creating your own magazine spread, but way easier. You get to pick a model, dress ‘em up, and choose a background too! It seems addicting so I only played with it for an hour. Here’s one spread I made xD :

Ok, so last week my housemate suggested me to check out this website on cool design stuff. I did not know what she meant until I saw it. and yah, it’s cool… very cool! xD I think you will think the same when you check it out. There’s some extremely creative people out there… it makes me wonder! =)

I chose to design for Marc by Marc Jacobs for the 3rd project in fashion illustration class. I love his style. If you all don’t know, Marc by Marc Jacobs is a contemporary branch of Marc Jacobs. It is aimed for the younger working women because it’s down-to-earth, yet playful and hip! I especially love his Spring ‘10 collection because of the fun and not too matchy-matchy patterns.

Anyhow, my designs were inspired by an exhibition at the deYoung Museum in SF. They had some African vases with little patterns on the rim. It was really pretty. I might have a bad quality picture of it on my phone.. but I guess I’ll save some time and not post it.

Isn’t his spring ‘10 collection so cute?!? I love the playful patterns and fun colors!

I was talking to one of my friend, who is a landscape architecture major, and she told me she visited my blog. I was kind of surprise since I never really know who looks at my blog because no one tells me or puts comments. Anyway, she was quite honest. She told me “the legs look crooked” on my fashion drawing. Haha, to be honest I was quite embarrassed and shocked at her honesty. But in the end, I was quite glad she told me because I want to improve. Sometimes you get so into your work that you forget the simplest things and it’s hard to see the overall picture. You know what I mean? Anyway, point is, whoever reads this blog –and I know there are some people by the hits I get— don’t be shy to critique my work. I don’t want to end up in this field later finding out I suck! lol. I’m just kidding, if you want to remain my blog-stalker, that still makes me happy. =D


Hey!

So yah, like over a month later we finally got our photos. lol. I think these photos were taken back in September (omg). Anyway, it’s all cool~ I just want to thank:

Some of my old work. I took this beginning graphics class last summer. The class gallery is still up on the course website. It just occurred to me that my design journey took place only a little more than a year ago. Surreal. I feel like it’s been so long!

I have this poster still hanging on my wall and I love it!

Luella

16Oct09

In my Fashion Drawing class today we had to find designers who interests us because we are going to choose 4 outfits from a collection and draw ‘em out for our 1st project. So I have an idea of who to pick! I find her clothes to be very similar to my own design styles and think it would be fun to draw. Luella is her name. I was browsing through her website and I found this piece to be really fun and interesting to look at. =)
