Souvenir from Taiwan



What's my preference - small gift for easy to keep or useful for me? I've got both! Friends have some of the nice souvenirs from Taiwan for me.  Just look at the pressed flower bookmark and the doll keychain, I see that the gifts are not only functional but collectible too. Thanks!

Tracy Lullaby by Tracy Huang



With the Popular member card, I just bought it with RM 39.90. I love listening to the classic songs during night.  It’s a collection album of 12-track beautiful, warm and sweet melodies. 
   
What makes this CD a very precious collectible is that the cover design and the illustration are taken from Jimmy’s 《世界别为我担心》. On top of that, this CD also includes many of my favourite songs such as ‘Rainbow Connection’; ‘Dream a Little Dream of Me’; ‘Everything I know’; ‘JasmineFlower’; 'Imagine'; etc which will let you relieve your stress and recapture of the sweet memory when you still were a kid. Everything is so nice and is about lullaby for your heart and soul, so just close your eyes and enjoy the melodies :)    

Portfolio Presentation: Self-promote Print & Web


Self-promote pieces/ Final Project/ Portfolio Showcase


I’ve created my self-promote print and web inspired by the directional signboards and pictograms as the final project of this subject – Portfolio Presentation. Putting effort in designing this print to show my strategic planning process and selected portfolios display on my website. The new identity represents a new direction for me to stand up and get notice, hope it can works effectively to promote myself.


The readable logo is based on an appropriately selected typeface – Good Times, as it offers a kind of contemporary and confidently bold characteristic as to reflect of my works’ characteristic. 


Besides that, to enhance my concept of “directions” effectively, I add in the elements of directional signboards with different inforgraphic in black and white to present one-of-a-kind identity. I design it with a brief in hand and the objective is to promote myself as a passionate and practical designer who always indulges my works by organizing and systematic planning to offer the best art direction to clients.     


This is by far my favourite branding project. I develop the self-promote project in an attempt to better understand of my own works and characteristic.  I like the simple and innovative design. I’m also happy with how the idea came out of ‘offering directions’ and element of directional signboards with mind-mapping of workflow to show the process of how I complete my inspirational portfolios.


An A2 workflow of mind-map poster that can be folded down into A5 is designed together with the promotional booklet to present my portfolios. It considered as effective as it is portable and easily to be kept. And it just shows off my creative ability. 


The selected portfolios ranging from advertising to storyboard appear in the booklet. The booklet features short caption and information about the inspirational projects.


Behind all of these artworks is a struggle of hard work and perseverance. Of course I thoroughly enjoy the process and I’m glad to complete this project with the help from a close friend.
