3-3 Illustration Exhibition

Oh man, I'm behind schedule for, like, 8 months XD

This is the exhibition of our class, 51st batch of Dasein Academy of Art, 3rd year 3rd batch of the year 2007 (I totally forgot how to address our class properly = =). Our theme was "忆 " (memories), sort of like a stroll down memory lane, the 3 years of our college lives connected with our younger selves. Anyway it was our graduating exhibition, a showcase of our work from the 3 years in college.

The preparation:
A gruelling week of work ><




The exhibition:
This was what greeted everyone on their way into the main exhibition. A play on light and shadow by Ah Lee Sing Ling.


Please forgive stupid me in the picture. Proceed to admire our work.


Ah Lee with his tree depicting the polluted state of our world.


Leong Mei Lee with her fashion design. Made totally out of paper and plastic.


A corner was given to another class for their work. (8 months...I totally forgot which class =.= I'm so sorry)


A closer look:


The rest of our exhibition:








The gang (minus a Kelvin that was sick on that day =.=):
From the back: Me, Mei Lee, Kevin
Front: Evyan, Ah Lee




For those of you who came, thank you very much! For those of you who couldn't come, I'm so sorry you couldn't make it T T

Introducing - The Book Design Review

Found two fantastic websites on book cover designs. You know how it is when you walk by a stack of books and found yourself inexplicably drawn to a particular book just because its cover shouts out at you.

Book cover design is a huge task. More often than not a book sales because its cover attracts buyers. What makes a book cover design a great book cover design? I don't think I can explain. Hopefully by looking at a lot of great designs, I'll sub-consciously absorb whatever mastery there is and abracadra, alakazam - design my own better-than-mediocre book covers. Wahaha.

Wouldn't hurt to browse around in your free time, even if you're not in the designing field :)
