too much road.

An infographic I did for studio research on land use in Singapore to explore the potential and implications of bicycle-[something] implementation. (The original has inverted colours because the projector in studio has horrible resolution and needs to display stuff on a white background.)

I've been wanting to do such graphics for a reeeally long time since DW introduced me to them during the internship. Though it's far from the standard of those that he recommended I look at, I'm still quite happy with my first attempt. Spent a disgustingly long time on it; now I know how much research, reading, and work goes into one single such graphic. :)

P.S. Before anyone spots the 'mistake' - the title for this post is actually not grammatically unsound though it seems to be. Heh.

branding yourself

Magic Soup,

via NoteMaker.

Chocolate Rain.

aren't these products just adorable?!

(i like the 爆炸头 in Magic Soup, she's called Titta i think.)

i've always been fond of these 'little' boutique-feel brands (my guess is, they're probably quite lucrative considering they've made it out of their country). maybe it's silly, but it's always been a small dream of mine to have my very own brand. i've hoped to create a story and characters using a personal style, and print them onto everyday essentials like bags, shirts, and notebooks, etc... i think it would make me more than happy (okay, it would give me a real big kick) to see people using and wearing things that i've designed. :D

but it's easier said than done because i don't know what that style is.

googling 'Magic Soup' resulted in lots of yummy photographs of soup and i'm umm... distracted already. oh well. haha.

the ideal vision.

i won't deny, there were moments over the weekend that i'd doubted all the effort spent on this panel for today's colloquium would be worth it. i'd stop my work, stare sadly at the poster, and imagine the tutor telling me that "this is naive". there is nothing more insulting than that (though many other things he says do come very close).

it paid off. the panel that i thought was the most useless of the four i had, turned out to be the saving grace.

for this, i'm really thankful that i didn't give up on it like i had initially planned to.

studio was OK.

but studio is always OK in the beginning; it's the final race that kills me off every time.

sigh.

and i should stop sighing. haha.
