Review of Y2S1 (Part 2)

On top of the video production (click here if you missed it), I gained another interesting experience of producing a CD labeler from advertising design subject. Some of my classmates really produced CD labeler that looked like those that are selling outside, seriously, from the packaging, to design, to the quality.

Frankly speaking, I spent quite a lot of money on this assignment even though I chose the lousiest paper quality for my artwork. Compared to those original CD / DVD of an artist's album or movies, they are not expensive at all. Designing a CD labeler is not an easy job, plus, recording sound and shooting music video, the cost ain't low or cheap.

So, please don't complain about the CD is pricey or what. We must always support original CD as an appreciation to those who contribute in producing the "piece of art". I am trying to promote good value here. :D

Back to topic, I was required to produce a self-promote CD labeler, 3 print advertisements and a billboard advertisement. Please ignore the advertisements as the design is kinda sucks.

What is self-promote CD labeler? Literally, it is a CD that promote yourself, which is me. Also, according to my lecturer, this is another important "document" that represent yourself during job interview, aside from your resume, especially when you are interviewing for a graphic design job because it's more easier for the interviewer to glance through your previous designs/artworks that are stored inside the CD, so that they can know where's your design level and decide whether or not to hire you.  Sounds true OMG.

Here are my assignment's artwork!

Overall packaging. It's a handbag design.

Inside view. 

The inner lay of my CD labeler is a wallet design.

My information is printed on the cards that can be taken out, looked real right?!
p/s : The IC is fake one.

Wondering how's my future job interviewer thinking about it.

Review of Y2S1

Feeling guilty for neglecting my blog for such a long period. This semester is a real mess for me. I have not been feeling so upset and disappointed on myself. My study performance wasn't as great as last time, most of the time it didn't up to my expectation. This semester really a screw-up.

I know that's my fault for letting this kind of failed situation happened in my life or may be I should fully utilize this semester break to see which part I can improve. Attitude? Seriousness? Time management? and so forth.

Okay, this blog post is not entirely about my disappointment over this semester. So I'm going to share about the new experiences that I'd gained through this four months.

The one that I want to highlight is basic video production assignment, we actually need to produce a commercial and a music video in a team of seven people. That was a quite fresh and interesting experience for me because I had never thought or imagine that I will be involved in a video production crew.

We booked a hotel room as one of the shooting scene.
Hotel room number 102.

Shooting process.

I was satisfying with our end product though the video quality wasn't as great as the industry outside. We're giving our best effort in making this two videos and also received quite a lot of motivation and comments from lecturer and seniors. All of our hard work were paid off. :)

This is one of my new experiences that I'd gained during this semester. More to update, stay tuned.
