2008 ADDYs Award Winner

This was one of my school project while in college. I had to pick out a local business and re-design their campaign such as; logo, poster, ads and brochure. Shela  is a women fashion boutique that is target at customers at age 35 and older. Before I came up with this design I'd made a stop at their store and speak to one of Shela's sale associates and asked them to provided me with some information to help me completed my project. Unfortunately they had nothing, no business card, no coupons, no brochures. I was so disappointed and do not know how to begin this project. So I spent about five minutes wandering around the store to get the feeling of their theme color and style. I went back to my class and looked for some for information on the internet. Luckily I found their website at http://www.shopshela.com and came up with the design from there and blah blah...

I submitted my designs in for the 2008 ADDYS competitions through my school, and I won a silver Addys award for this campaign. I did not expected to win at all, so I was pretty amazed with myself when I got this award.


Yes, I'd redesigned their logo as well. (This is not for commercial used, it is for school purposes only.)

The Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race

I just joined the website Illustration Friday, is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation.  So I finally completed my first week challenge, and the topic for this week was "Ahead". The folktale of the "Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race", is the first thought that popped up in my mind.

As many of you probably have heard the story, but I'm going to post a short overview of this story anyway.

"One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit's surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought. The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. Even if the turtle passed him, he would be able to race to the finish line ahead of him. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going. However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him."

Happy Easter

Easter is the sacred celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead. It is the oldest and holiest Christian festival, the climax and center of the liturgical year, and the holy day to which all other holy days point. Even denominations that do not strictly follow a liturgical calendar commemorate Easter with tremendous joy and thanksgiving.

Cute Little Icons

I was browsing through this website and saw this set of web icon containing about six different designs. It looks very adorable and cute. It reminded me of the Japanese/Chinese arts culture. So I thought I’d created one for myself just for the heck of it, unfortunately the designs turned out nothing like the one I have seen but similar, which is good enough.
