Left or Right Brainer? DEFINITELY A RIGHT ONE!

Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:  Left Brain Right Brain 28% 72% You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist. Your complete evaluation follows below:
Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows: Your Left Brain Percentages   40% Verbal (Your most dominant characteristic)   34% Symbolic   27% Linear   27% Sequential   25% Logical   7% Reality-based (Your least dominant characteristic) Your Right Brain Percentages   78% Random (Your most dominant characteristic)   55% Concrete   48% Intuitive   38% Nonverbal   32% Fantasy-oriented   12% Holistic (Your least dominant characteristic)

That's why i love TYPE!

Yey! It's my 101th post!!!

I definitely became more observant ever since I told myself to be discipline and look at the things around me at a greater detail. As a designer I constantly look at things and then get inspired. Well sometimes it's weird cause when i look at logo and stuff these days, I think about the whole idea and concept the designer had while designing it. Some are bad design but some are just totally cool.

I also try to scan in my doodles regularly now so my habit wont go to waste. I just love art and design and I am proud I am embracing it with glee :)

Oh ya! Good news! I got the pattern job for the restaurant in Abu Dhabi!

New York Girl of My Dreams...

I can't believe they broke up. He found her and they dated. And ended...Well his way of trying to find her is so sweet! I think I am just smitten but guys who can illustrate. Or the ones with nerdy specs. Maybe I likve the geeky look now?

hello workspace. an attempt to make it look like my own work study area at home... with a turkish table cloth and corkboard for a mousepad. surprisingly comfortable and less hassle than normal pads. =) and yeap the faceless couple. I wanted the frame not the faces. Just trying to be a recycle person. That's all.

Almost like a shrine for my personal stuff including oggling at taylor laurtner during sleepy and boring moments. =)

stationery loves... i love colours. i love tapes. bingo!

stationery loves 02: I can't get enough of paperclips!

calendar corner i call it. with a pathetic garden.

I need an office desk MAKEOVER!!

I NEED..

• a mini locker to put all my personal stuff in like lotion, lip balm and other first aid kid stuff
• a memo notice board to remind me of the pending jobs and stuff

I don't know what else but i think i need a better working space! And a new freaking Mac!!

Another Lovely Weekend..

The weekend was a great break! I did all sorts of stuff and so much fun! Went JB with the girls and did Via Ferrata at Orchard Central with Ayul and then had dinner at Marche! =) Lovely, lovely weekend!

Well going back to work mode, I was just looking at random stuff to start my morning...

I was cleaning up my desk and putting my new stash of stationery! =) bought some nice vibrant tapes, zebra and ice cream paper clips and a pen holder. I think I need a proper miniature locker for my workspace to keep my lotions and stuff too.. Well still looking for one... Popular ran out of them already I think..

Anyhoots, I saw some really cool stationery and tapes at NothingElegant. They are effing neat!!! I love stained, rugged and messy looking stuff. It's just a pretty break from all the modern looking sterile stuff I see often in design these days..

I am so tempted to get some on impulse man!

Patrick Moberg

He is one great illustrator. His style is witty and scruffy and so does his appearance too =) I am inspired! I find some similarities in the way we draw. but perhaps he draw it digitally? and colour them digitally too? 

But I draw it with hand and scan my doodles in and colour them digitally. That's how it works. And I didnt really draw, just doodles. Less than 5 minutes kinda work. But his illustrations are way way more awesome than mine. I've lots to polish I guess. I love his style. Long legs and skinny people. They look comical!

daily.doods

where my doodles are stored cause i dont know where else to store them.. =) things that kept me sane at work when i am bored to death! basically both happy and sad things that happens to me everyday. I am guessing I will draw a lot of food here!

I missed the blank screen on the TV when it is under construction or end of transmission. I still remember when Arts Central or some other non-24hours channel plays the colour stripes screen. I thought that was a unique memory of being born in the 80s and having to observe the transitions in media and everything else. Now there's no longer the colourful stripes. They have a special screen page that will play live radio as well.

I was googling about this and found someone's graphic web portfolio exactly in the same format. Thought it very cool of her to use the black squares as buttons to link to her works. But the inconvenient part is when we click for more images. A new window will open and so on. So maybe construction wise, not so efficient but I like the original idea. Everyone's blog or folio is becoming the same sterile clean looking style. She sure caught my attention.

Jessica Hische

he handwrites and draw her own letters when it comes to typography. She admits she's not great at choosing fonts and would prefer making her own hand rendered fonts. Which is a unique talent in my opinion. I love type too and I love her self and current project Daily Drop Cap. It is very interesting creating a drop cap for web usage. Which is popular now and I have already used it!

Well I am starting on a tumblr blog too. It will be my stash of daily random doodles that makes me feel whatever I feel that day. I have a couple of random doodles but I haven't scanned them in yet. So will share the link later then...
