Moyoo

Have emailed Mr lau regarding the draft that I want to email to the companies. I’ve actually accumulated the companies that I want to email. Oh oh oh, ive to do it asap.
And I should get more sleep, like now.
Night!

Metro’s finally finished! Yay. One down, and another three more to go. A film to shoot together with Yiling, a complicated 3D scene to render and an integrated campaign to work on. Well, not forgetting to email the internship companies and also to get other stuff done as well.

Hectic or not, I haven’t been able to think properly and set my priorities properly. Anyway, I think I should to be sleeping soon for tomorrow’s lessons. Did a little list of the companies that I want to try to email and I told myself I will definitely email them by this week, for sure. I just feel worried and a little timid to make the first move and go for it. Now I guess I have to just face it and do it, just do it no matter what.

Alright, going off now.
Bye today and happy day tomorrow.
:)

I’m feeling rather determined and slightly procrastinating at this moment. Partly it’s because of my whole immune system feeling weak because i’m sick. The weather’s really cooling and all but i dont seem to be recovering even when i finished my medication.

Was wondering whether can i get to watch the ‘No Logo’ video and i even went to youtube to search on it. Otherwise i wouldn’t have enough information to blog about it. Anyway, my portfolio feels really empty and im sort of planning on the work to do and ways of showing and representing me as a designer. Most of the works I did aren’t of any quality to be in it really. Which suddenly came to my mind, what exactly is my style. How different am I from all the other designers out there. I really wonder. My namecard is settled but I dont feel a sense of greatness in it. Maybe I should change it.

So far, I have the sudden feeling of feeling really old and at this stage, I feel horrible. Then again, it could be the help of my poor immune system. Have to start popping some Vitamin Cs soon. As for my packaging assignment, I wonder if the deadline’s confirmed or not. Have to grab my materials for mock up tomorrow cause I can’t seem to find an ideal size for my muffin cover. I think I ought to make some Portfolio goals to myself and fulfill them. Get well everyone and other people who are sick as well O:

List the top 10 points you got from this video.
1) Branding is the idea of lifestyle, not the products, services that it provides.
2) The relationship you share and trust with the mascot / figure or person that is shown on the product.
3) Our most powerful ideas are treated as brands.
4) Everything is a potential prop.

What do you think of Branding/Marketing after viewing this video? Do the video’s content disturb you? If so, why? What can be done about it?
I think the definition of Branding is definitely not what it seems in general now. It’s not just the usual Branding and Marketing whereby the advertisement will just show visual images of how great the product or service. It’s more to just that now. It’s the lifestyle and the image that the brand wants to portray to the public.

So what makes you rich?

A) What is money? Money is something that can lure people’s attention. It’s an incentive that seeks attention from people. Without money, you can’t do really much. Then again, there are some things that money can’t be bought. Money can buy you items that you ever wanted such as foods, branded expensive goods, clothings and many more. Will this bring you happiness? Well, in my opinion, it does indirectly bring happiness to one. The feeling and enjoyment of shopping and receiving an item as your own does make me happy. The feeling of giving and seeing smiles on their faces makes me feel happy too.

B) Money makes the world go round?
It doesn’t mean the world goes round literally but without the value of money thats no motivation to work harder and achieve some value. For example, a job without a pay or salary, it takes a person to be self-motivated and self-inspired to work hard for the job. (Lets say if it’s not for internship. Like a stable job or something) Without money, how are we going to pay expenses that are required and important?

C) Money is the root of all evil?
Well, it does work in circumstances if it leads to robbery or getting money through other means instead of working hard to earn it. Money also leads people to commit acts and sins just so to get money the ‘easy’ way out. Examples of acts are robbery, kidnapping, exploiting and etc.

D) Money cannot buy you happiness.

E) Money is a headache, and money is a cure.

Do I care about money? Who doesn’t, really. I would admit I do. Without money, there’re a number of things you cannot do. I don’t mean it in a greedy or money-minded way, but it’s true, without money there are so man things you cannot do. Food, the pleasure of eating and trying out exotic foods to fill your stomach, is something whereby money is definitely needed.

I do agree that that no definition of the word Money. It’s just a piece of money, be it- plastic or paper form. Anything else can be exchange or defined as something as ‘money’ too. For example, if you trade from someone a phone for another model. It’s also a form of ‘money’. So what exactly is money? It’s complicating my mind as I type. Money is something that I feel that attracts attention.

How much am I worth?
I really do wonder. I guess it depends on the ability and how skilled I am? Somehow ive no idea whats the exact figure for this. Strange enough, I have a feeling im worth of a small figure, not a 4 nor 3 digit number I suppose.

I’d admit I really feel worried at this stage. I did a little research on the design companies to intern in. Some examples of the design companies are Furryfish Singapore, Equus and many more. Areas of design range from Illustration, Graphic, Web design to Advertising.

At the start of the term, the reason behind entering this course was because of the interest towards Web designing. However, I am rather confused whether should I head towards receiving more knowledge regarding illustrations, graphic or publications related. Till now, I’m really feeling very worried about my portfolio and resume and quite stressed about the emailing of the intern companies in a few weeks time. Goodness, worried but I would really want to start by borrowing library books on portfolio styles and designs. Yup, I really want to enter something different and update something new on the Wiki.

ITP ITP ITP.
I feel quite worried about interviews.
Partly it’s because of the good personal branding that I want to show to the company during my interview. However, I still feel that my current personal branding is definitely not strong enough.

In addition, my portfolio is not of any standards in my opinion.
Ive to really work hard this round. Oh my gosh.
