Have a break, Have a KitKat Poster :D

This is my poster I designed for my partner - Vy, she asked my to do a poster to promote for the product KitKat. Firstly, i intended to make the poster look colorful, like many stuff fly around, ribbons roll around. But during my working process, i removed many elements and think that I should kept this as clean as possible to make the product stand out. Then i just used some textures and the chocolate bar image that my partner gave for me to make the whole poster. The slogan and some text found on product's website also was added.

Pain of the Machine :D

Work from assignment 2 which is the photo montage assignment. All the image must be created by myself. For this final work, i had to take a huge half-nude series of myself lol =)). ( All pictures were taken by my 2 friends and they also created another huge self-picture collections for them =))

Most the machine part used in my work is taken from the old motorbike of my aunt. It is Honda Cup (a really old motorbike version of Honda company, but i really love it because of its elegant in design and durability). Other small part were taken from the old fan which was broken for 2 months ago. Playing with color layers and blending modes is my always interesting part of my process. They sometime create amazing color which you cannot think of :D

Nokia Ads

This morning my lecturer requiered us to compose a new ad for the brand Nokia using the photomontage technique that he taught us last class. He asked us to use images that he provided on the BB. There are 6 or 7 images and we had to use all of them to create the ad. After 2 hours of experience many effects and blending modes, this is my final works, one is with Nokia phone + text and one is none.

PS: My effect is also be called "Pepsi effect" - according to my lecturer - Thierry. Haha :))

The Sun and The Moon V2

As you can see Sun and Moon in the last entry, i will show you my other version of Sun and Moon which i think there is a significant change in style and meaning. I really love this piece. After 1 day after my first two artworks of Sun and Moon. I try to make this two pieces more abstract and easier to get the idea.

The idea for this work came to me really accidentally when i was learning in Thierry class. Kaka. I was not really pay attention to his lession and the idea appeared in my mind. Got it!

Using the same technique when doing V1, i started to search images. I found one pieces of paper texture in my texture collection and think that this will be the best chose for the background. I also search some photos of water splash and dropplets. The photo of pearl and hot lava sun also need to be found. And the final result is

• The meaning of this work also different from version 1. Instead of male and female; black and white; I replaced those of them by FIRE and WATER.
  
• When looking to the moon or image of the moon, people has the trend of thinking about light and water. So that i make a splash of water and add a white pearl on top of the splash to represent for light.
  
• The meaning of the flame blade is easy. It represent for the hot sun with many lava tongue around its sphere.
  
• In general, all the image look like the fire and the water are dancing together in white space (represent for nothing), After this fate dancing, human were born (because fire and water are two main elements that created the earth and human) =)) LOL.
  
• This image also look like the shape of Ying Yang which is represent for everything that opposite but need to be together to make the world balance
  

The Sun and The Moon

Ey yo! This is my first post and I'll show you some works of mine

As last week we was learn about some art and design concept and we was asked to create 2 pieces of artwork which represent for the sun and the moon. My lecturer requied us to do something which can make people immediately think about the sun and the moon when looking in our artwork. That mean it has to be simple, arouse image and connect in ideas. As i had learn in class, I first do some brainstorming and after got a right ideas I stared to do some researching.

I came up with the idea of "invert". This idea came to me when I was using photoshop to do my work and the word "Invert" appeared in the menu. This tool bring really cool effect to the image so i decided to make my artwork relate to the word "Invert"

Now I already have my ideas and I began to search some images. Most of my images came from Deviantart site because it has a huge stock image and easy to get permission from the author. I decided to make my artwork in Manipulation style so i have to find many images and mix them together. And below is two pieces of my work.

As you can see, everything in these two pieces are inverted. except the sex of male and female.

• First, everyone will think that the moon appears when it is dark and the sun only raises in the morning. I do the reverse thing. White background for the Moon pieces and black background for the Sun pieces.
  
• Second, we always think that the sun, the moon, and the earth are where we were come from (or our legendary parents). I shown my idea as we are parents of the sun and the moon. The woman is being pregnant the moon and the sun (as father role) is training his Sun son.
  
• The color also represent the different between Sun and Moon
