Superheroes and superderps..

Well, we had our first review on the Superhero challenge yesterday. I think Mr C likes my idea. Or maybe I love my idea so much, I only think he likes my idea. Some progress has been made, though.

I've made sketches, color schemes, and came up with a simpler name: Le Procrastinator! With le powers to procrastinate and le magic red belt that hypnotizes people to be counter-productive. I like magic. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my cable so I can't upload the pictures of my sketches. Boo.. If I had magic I could so easily Wingardium Leviosa them onto my laptop. *Sigh* If only..

But do not fret, my friends! I can show you basically what I'm working on. My color scheme has a sort of sexy Robin feel to it. And by Robin, I mean Batman and Robin. Except that I may be a tad sexier than Robin actually is, unless he's being played by Chris O' Donnell. Now, he is delish!

Anyway, the color scheme I came up with was black, green, yellow and red. Mine's gonna have a lot more black than teenage Robin's here does. But my cape will also be yellow. I'm thinking either lemon or cadmium yellow.

Now, I believe I'm supposed to be coming up with a story on how Le Procrastinator became who she is.. But let's save that for later, shall we? For now, we can just ogle Chris O'Donnell ;)

Phwooaarghh... He so wants me.

Challenge accepted!

Finally, we have our first project! I call it the Superhero challenge.

We need to come up with an alter ago to go with our not-so-interesting personalities. Meaning, we need a cool name, cool powers, cool motto, and even design an awesome costume to go with it.

When, I think about it, my only cool powers include the power of procrastination and the power of an awesome sense of humor. (I may not be funny to some, but at least I'm funny to myself. Ha!)

Ergo, I came up with the cool new alter ego of:

Captain Procrastination!
"Why do it today, when you can do it tomorrow!"

I'm excited to design this costume. But it must be efficient, aesthetically pleasing, and wallet-friendly.

Hmm.. this might be trickier than I thought. More later!

Settimana due

Week two...

Creative processes are not juicing as much, but I'm getting there. Today, we were given our first project in Digital Design, a digital photomontage.

Almost immediately, I had a mini brain-hurricane session while En. Hafiz was still explaining the requirements of the project. No wonder I keep missing all the important points of projects. I also just found out today that this blog is supposed to have a mission statement. Opps!

I should pay more attention in class. This ADD is getting really annoying.

Back to the point, so far I have my concepts figured out for the project. But I must not post here for fear of being plagiarized.. This is the part where the paranoia starts to creep in..

Visual Note-taking

What I'm really doing when I'm supposed to be working.

This was my first attempt at visual note-taking, albeit a simple one, on the Green Party of New Zealand.

Why the Green Party of New Zealand?

I'm so glad you asked! Gives me a chance to talk about myself a bit. I work at an Australian market research company and we do over 2000 interviews a month in New Zealand. (not as interesting as it sounds.) And this one lady I interviewed caught my attention. She was pro-legalizing marijuana, and a BIG supporter of the Greens. So, I got busy finding out who they are and I quite liked most of their stands. You know who I'm voting for if I ever decide to move to New Zealand!

Bienvenue!

As stated this is a channel to record the random and sometimes incredibly and deeply inspiring processes of my occasionally creative work.
Some of my postings, as you will soon discover, are as random as potatoes. But I believe it's the journey that matters.

This blog is dedicated to Mr. C, who has inspired me to be a better person. (Forgive the brown nosing.)
