countdown

Four days to the end of design as a university student.
We can all do this! :]

street car to street trike?

Was trying to collect information for cycling in Tokyo when I came upon this link. It's pretty hilarious looking at the Google crew pushing the street view tricycle more than trying to cycle it through the historic sites.

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.

'superimpose'... literally?

Battling cramps right now with a scalding water bottle and eye candy in the form of pretty textures. Took these two photos near studio just before heading home today, when the mossy outlines of the pavers caught my eye. Now, if only they weren't so slippery to walk on...

welfare

Ching bought Koi's hazelnut milk tea for us - damn nice (both her and milk tea lol)!
It's the final lap now...
We can do this!

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.
