COASTERS.

I was just sat here thinking of DIY projects and came across coasters. There is sooooo much you could do with them! The possibilities are endless! Letter pressing, die cutting, screen printing, painting, sewing, burning and many other ways. I just wish that I was readily available to all this resources. I would have so many DIY project ideas. But for now I have to struggle with limitations. Here are just a few coaster designs that I particularly like.

70's posters.

Its the first day of the new year 2011 and Im actually revising for my upcoming exam on Marketing on the 18th of Jan. I wish I knew all about Marketing at the tips of my fingers. I thought I take a break and blog about the wonderful 70's graphic design that I discovered, well racked out from the pass. I have an interest and passion for anything vintage and that is probably why I am drawn to such graphic detail and colours. Someday I am going to design a poster that inherits all these qualities and aesthetics. Could that be my new year's resolution?

I forget how interesting it is to google and stumble upon other people's work instead of just emerging myself in the world of Facebook, twitter and tumblr. I can see a new start to blogging more often. I promise I'll try to keep up with it.

I absolutely adore this persons' illustration...and he is stuartkolakovic. And I have no idea why Im blogging about his illustrations commission by M&S for tea on Christmas Day. Its 2 mins pass midnight. Wow dedication much! I can't help but stop and look at this packaging when Im in M&S. I just kinda stand there and go : WOW. I like you so much!.

BASIC CHRISTMAS JUMPERS!

I am feeling a overload for designing this Christmas!! I'm feeling a rush of inspiration during this time of festiveness. Whilst watching the tele last night I couldn't help but think of basic shapes and what I can do with them, so this is what I came up with Hope you like it!!

My sister is currently working in Singapore and sadly not able to join us for Christmas dinner this year!! So i decided to design a poster for her for her Christmas present! LOL.

Stella Artois Originally Crafted for Christmas 2010 TV ad

I must say that I was totally impressed with this new Stella Artois advert I just seen on the tele. It says that it is beautifully crafted for Christmas and I thought it was REALLy beautifully crafted anyways which is a plus point. It isn't easy coming up with a good solid idea and storyboard. To be fair I haven't really done an advert before but I always have many ideas. Its just me and my never stop thinking brain. I wouldn't mind to be part of a team that creates such a brilliant advert.

Little people in big city.

I particularly love this person's work. It is so interesting to see art that are so out of the box. We are so used to seeing so many different types of art like paintings and sculptures but I found his form of media so enjoyable to look at. I could easily keep scrolling through all his pieces of work. These little figures are all hand painted and only less than an inch in size. He did it as an installation and photography project. He wanted people in the city to be more aware of their surroundings and to feel the loneliness you can feel in a big city. He too wanted people to emphatise with the tiny people. He is currently doing another project where he decorates snail's shells and placed them back in their surroundings. I love it so much I might actually buy the book.

My mom bought this as a secret santa gift. and surprise surprise its one BIG VASELINE TIN. Its so super cute. I was hyperventilating when I saw it. I must get it for myself. Whoever thought of this packaging deserves something.
