Sketch
Final

Tagline: YOU Had Me At Hello
Sub- Tagline: But, I'm scared to call you and waiting the HELLO from you in every second

Full Article:

I've been alone with you inside my mind 
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times 
I sometimes see you pass outside my door 
Hello, is it me you're looking for? 


I can see it in your eyes 
I can see it in your smile 
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide 
'Cause you know just what to say 
And you know just what to do 
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ... 


I long to see the sunlight in your hair 
And tell you time and time again how much I care 
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow 
Hello, I've just got to let you know 


'Cause I wonder where you are 
And I wonder what you do 
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you? 
Tell me how to win your heart 
For I haven't got a clue 
But let me start by saying, I love you ... 


Hello, is it me you're looking for? 
'Cause I wonder where you are

Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? 
Tell me how to win your heart

But let me start by saying ... I love you 








Title: GIFT

Lips


 GIFT

Tagline: Appreciate the GIFT
Sub-Tagline: Listen before you talk; Observe before you speak

Full Article:

Listen before you speak, understand before you diagnose, pay attention to the emotions, body language, tone and inflection of the voice. Listen not just with your ears, but with your heart. Don’t assume that what matters most to you, matters most to others as well. Don’t presume that you have all the answers.

Actively seek other’s perspective and viewpoints that is different than your own. Explore their ideas, find worth in their ideas, and give them credit. Don’t just try to prove your own point.




Title: Tone


Mouth
Tone

















Tagline: What kind of tone you prefer; which one you often used.

Article:

Your Tone Of Voice Affects How People Respond To You


Your tone of voice may say more than the actual words you use. This  important feature of everyday speech is so powerful that it can actually propel you

 to successful heights or keep you stuck in a lowly position. Tone of voice is made up of several factors and functions in a variety of ways.


It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. When we speak, other people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. Things they pay attention to include your timing and pace, how loud you speak, your tone and inflection, and sound that convey understanding. Think about how tone of voice, for example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.

Image within Typography

I choose typography art for my future design project.




Is a visual image which formed by words- it can be typeface, calligraphy or handwriting.




Calligram 


The famous calligram writer during the earliest of 20th Century - Guillaume Apollinaire
He was a poets from Rome, Italy.




This calligram was formed by a poem. And words formed out a shape of Eiffel Tower.




  • Rhythm, pattern and texture- artwork able to activate the shape and space, by the gap between words. 
  • Shape - Eiffel Tower, Two-dimension.
  • Line - Straight horizontal ( organized by words).
  • Color - Black and white.
  • Type - Calligraphy, and the size is big to small from the bottom.


Besides that, I also will use others image typography like below:

Black & White

I'm very struggle on part 1 of Design Project -- Research & Reference.
I didn't choose any specific artist as my reference.


I'm actually plan to do photograph... but, I have rarely basic knowledge about photography..
But I just know which photograph I like.
So, do few research on the types of photography.
I like those classic and vintage feel of photography.
Black & White, street photography.


here are the street photographer who inspiring me:






Garry Winogrand (1928 - 1984)


He was a photojournalist, and he was known for his portrayal of American life in the early 1960s. Many of his photographs depict the social issues of his time and in the role of in shaping attitudes.


El Morocco, 1955 (Couple Dancing: Woman Laughing)


El Morocco was hottest nightclub in New York during 1950s. 
From a website, i found a description of this photograph, said that Garry Winogrand focusing on his subjects' telling responses by revealing the ferocious animal spirit of the woman (hands and face).



  • Color - Grey Scale
  • Expression



Besides that, I want to share another portrait of Mary Ellen Mark.




I like this photo, cause it's really fully utilize the advantage of B&W photography. It's not only captured the feeling, but it's playing with the shadow, and highlight the couple.

  • Asymmetrical
  • Color - contrast
  • Positive and Negative Space

Art is intangible, something can't be transmitted by words.



This is my FIRST ever blog in my life.
 I do hope this is the only blog for me. 
Cause I dont like writing...
 But maybe sharing sometime...: )


I don't like to write cause...
not a doubt... not good in writing.


I'm a person who are more rely or...
more believe in non-verbal communication.
Actually communication just like ART~


An ART doesn't tell you what is it.
It is subjective.
There is no exact answer.
You can say "She" is smiling or "She" is sad.
I like those abstract art...
It's depend on what you decode...


I'm glad that I was born with the perfect senses...
and observing at every corner that my vision could reach...
catching the elements of the world through my eyes.


That's what inspired me to wander around...
to explore further... I WISH~


Here, I'm going to share you an art piece by Philippe Ramette.
I took this when I was wandering at Avenue of Star (Hong Kong).


 Balcony 2 (Hong Kong) 2001
