back 2 skate deck prj!

well, ja, this one is over too!!!
first, art concept (research + sketches)
second, choose one amongst several sketches, scan it, take it into illustrator (auch!), trace it and add everthing else considering the dimensions of a real skate board (8" x 32").
Last, but not the least, was to find a reliable print shop not to screw it once printed out. There was one downtown called "Marcormedia" which did a good job 4 most of us.
Having the design printed on a glossy paper, I had to cut my foam board & stick the design on it (which sounded like a nightmare itself)! Some of my friends screwed their design while trying to stick it on the board.
So, here it is:

CD cover!

this was suppoed to be created out of collage.
So, I made the whole collage to create front cover, back cover, 2 inside pages & a CD lable for darling Michael Buble. Then took several pieces of that collage into photoshop & illustrator & did the followings:

Water Contact Day!

This one was really wierd, I still dont understand its phylosephy (maybe it's a practice to control mind). Anyways, we were to document any time that we contact with water during one day. I, personally, have a very high contact range with WATER everyday. Alas, I could only record some and not all simpley coz my frined came over to my place and from that moment I lost count.

However, if I wanna list how many times I had contact with water, I can mention these:

morning bathroom & face wash

coffee machine wash

made jelly

color pad wash

filled water container

washed tomatoes

made egg

made tea

cooked meal+soup

soaked barley

watered my plants

fruit wash

washed my hands more than 10 times

skate tag

Yeah, this one is over 2! I chose the pyramid layout amongst the others & used a watercolor splatter as background. Took it into photoshop & tried different blending option till I came up with this dynamic motion & I thought: "aha!" that's what a skate is about!!

NINAJ Commandor!

Toy BOX!

This freakin toy box took me a day & half , it was hell of work but apart from deadline pressure the whole process was fun. I wish had more time to modify the design the way I really wanted it to be but I had to get it done for today. So, here is what I did. I included all the elements of a real toy box as well. Added my own cell phone number it's barcode, my blog as the website. Had a name 4 each character, came up with a name 4 the collection (2diiz= tiny+dudes)!!!

I loved toy makin specially that I could interact with each and everyone of my characters. I have also developed a personality & story line 4 all of them. Though there wasnt enough space on the box to include everything.

I did everything at home with whatever tools & tech I had in my room. Printin the images was hell of a work coz my printer cant go beyond letter size while the box i had designed was larger than a letter size paper, so i had to cut the images into pieces, print each of them & then paste them together on the box & cut the extras as well.
