DSM 1 Big Idea

User test time again. Sorry guys and thanks for da help.

So this is an iphone app a series of interface that i designed.

U might see some repetition but actually they are not. It shows the overall flow how it works when u tap or swap the button.

disclaimer: photos used in the design are solely for educational purposes.

PLEASE START FROM BOTTOM..I dunno why the photos that i upload first is at the bottom and the last photo is at the top.

1. Do you get the big idea that im trying to achieve via this iphone app?

2. Do all the interactions show is clear?

3. Do you like the color combination of every page?

4. Do you like the typography shown in page?

5. Any parts that you find that it can be shown clearer or improved?

Photo Manipulation : Welcome Back!

Was watching Pirates Of Carribean3 : At World's End this afternoon. Even though I din really catch the previous series but still i quite like this movie in term of the storyline and visual effects of coz! Definitely worth your 2.5 hours to watch..

I <3 the story between Will Turner(Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann(Keira Knightley). Aww..

FYI,they got a happy ending in season 3 so they are not involved in Season 4: On Stranger Tides =)

So suddenly feel like doing an illustration related to POTC. lol..Yes, got the idea from the scene where Elizabeth Swann and her kid saw his husband, Will Turner are come back to them 10 years later.

So this is the original image that I've used. =)

Around 10 stock photos =)

Final outcome:

Also play around with some textures after I've completed everything to enhance the overall mood.

Title: Welcome Back!
Software: Photoshop CS4
Duration: 3 hours (0% to 100%)

I know this took me slightly longer time bcoz I spent long time on reference and the lighting. Sigh. I need to improve my speed too.

I really need some critics of my works to make myself improve more. I don wanna stuck at the same level..=( So feel free to voice out ur opinions..Hehe thank you! =)

Idea and concept is based on our mother nature that is getting worse and worse everyday.

Photo Manipulation : U belong 2 Me

Got nothing to do yest and just feel like photoshopping something. Suddenly this idea came through my mind before sleep. So just quickly imagine what kind of outcome i wan and i just start lol..but I did until 30% and i just went to sleep..

This morning only i continue haha.

So here you go.


Title: U belong 2 me
Duration: 1hour plus (From getting stock photos until final)
Software: Photoshop CS4

Hmm i personally love the mood. I purposely make everything in quite a low contrast and a bit faded off feeling so it creates a dreamy and fantasy feel. Wait..This is just my own opinion..Who knows it doesnt apply for you all? =)

Critics and suggestions are HIGHLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU!! =)

Oh wait, guess how many stock photos here? Haha..

p/s: No prize though for guessing correctly. loll.

3d globe in photoshop

Browsing through Abduzeedo website and saw a photoshop tutorial on how to build a 3d globe in an easy way. Seems pretty interesting so might as well give it a try. Ya its not that hard actually. They have their own trick to do it =)

Simple but at least i learnt something new in this 10minutes.

Duration: 10minutes

Photo Editing

Had workshop of Photoshop today..Just did some basic photo editing.

Before

After. Just play around with textures,brushes,color balance, levels and filter. Not to forget masking=)

We also need to do another editing on ourselves. I make it like a lil bit chinese oriental style.

If you are observant enough, you can see this time i used some radial gradient in it.

Also another home practice. Explore on different brush and texture. Wanted to create a lil bit of mysterious mood and feel. But seems like i fail to do so..Sigh

I also did some editing on my cousin's wedding photos last time.

All this were taken by me with my DSLR.

Need some criticts from some photography experts!
