Blood Thirster (++,__,++)

SYNOPSIS

This tutorial will teach the audiences seven ways to make someone that talkative have to shut their mouth up so you no longer facing with their annoying voice.

The audiences will go through seven steps with full text description and funny visual illustrations. This will help the audiences easily getting the information and remember them longer.

With the cartoonist style, everything just looks cute and I hope that will make people interesting in the tutorial.

THE SEVEN STEPS

• STEP 1: When they start talking, look away.
• STEP 2: Pretend that they aren't there and if you need to, go talk to someone else.
• STEP 3: If they ask why you're ignoring them, don't answer their question.
• STEP 4: Keep avoiding them for as long as possible until they get the message and stop talking to you.
• STEP 5: Don't even smile at their jokes.
• STEP 6: If this doesn't work, just make excuses that you have to go somewhere else
• STEP 7: If needed, just tell them to shut up.

This time i will introduce you you a video that show us many invention of designers over the world. All of them are very creative. I love those products at the first sight and you know, i want to buy all of them.

I recommend that you watch this video first and tell me what do you think about this video? More specific, about the girl in the video?

What do you think if one day you are very hungry and have nothing to eat? What do you think if you can give rice to poor people around the world to help them? What do you think if you can do that by just playing game?

That true! you can do that by just playing game, a really simple game: guess the meaning of the English words!!! For each word you guess right, 20 grains will be donated to poor people. And imaging that if you play this game everyday, how many rice you will donate to the world? :D

So let take a try. click to visit the site WWW.FREERICE.COM

After visit the site, just click the words on the center to start playing, you grain will be counted after you make a right choice. To keep track with your grain, you can set option to know how many grain that you have donated total. Click on the tab Option on the top then click 'Remember my Total Rice Donation from the last time I played when I start FreeRice.' as shown below, and then remember to click Set Option

Some facts:

• This site is a new site (created in October 2007) but had gain a significant result.
• Free-rice is a non-profit organization
• From the beginning until today August 22 2008, this site gain total 41,406,617,390 grains (remember that there are 48 grains per gram and let count how many kilograms it is :D. That a really impressive number by just playing game!)
• Who pay for the donated rice? The rice is paid for by the sponsors whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen when you enter a correct answer. These sponsors support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry). We thank these sponsors for their participation at FreeRice.
• The first FreeRice donations have gone to purchase rice: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Uganda, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar.

As seeing this website, i just wonder that, why we don't have a project that make many schools in Vietnam play this game? There are many schools in Vietnam so that will make a big help to poor people in the world. Moreover, when playing this game, we can teach our children and also others poor children more English words just for free! Why don't we?

And below is the video that shown the first donation of Free rice being distributed in Bangladesh

In this post, I'll show you the website that i really interesting in. I just found this site 3 days ago and it make me extremely exciting! This site is about all the creative title (text and animation) that designers made for many films (In my opinion, all these title are unique and i am sure that you will not believe in what your eyes have seen). I bet some of these films you have already watched. Here is the link of the site WWW.ARTOFTHETITLE.COM

This website has really simple interface. On the left side is the list of all film titles that you can find in this site from A to Z. On the right side is the thumbnail of the title and some brief description about the title such as company and designers who made it. Watch and enjoy yourself.

This is my flash template that i intent to use as my main page in my portfolio assignment. At first i decided to make my template in clear and elegant theme but i then to make something personally so i have arrange all the element in different way and i made this MESS!

I want to make my template in dirty style so i mess up everything in the layout. I still did not know what i want to did more with this mess. The image above is just the basic look.

Then...i realize that in my texture library, there are many old and grunge paper texture. So i decided to make my template full of paper texture. The ideas came up and i decide to make my theme look like the surface on the table with lots of papers, notes, memos. I also added other elements such as pencil and an eraser to make my table more realistic:D and i made my button as paper sticks. I also chose the font Octin Prison Free to suite with my theme. Color water texture also be added to make the look of dirty.

And the final look.

Hey guy, check out my final poster for Save The Tiger Campaign now. :D Hehe. In this entry, i will show you guy the process that i made the poster for my class assignment.

First of all, the idea of making something differently come with me very easy. But the problem is i still did not know how to illustrate the idea. I then sketch my idea in paper, the first image that i drawn is just the only coat made by human skin in the white background. Then i though that to simple to illustrate my idea so i then drawn again and the next image is a female tiger that look like human, she is wearing a coat made by human skin and was sitting in the sofa. I really like this image and intend to make the poster from this image. BUT...I then found that this is still not the perfect image that i expect for because the main view of this image is too wide and not focus enough on the ideas that i made. I want something more expressive. So i decided to took a closer look to my main object: The tiger is wearing human skin.

And...I came up with this image. This is the only one that i expect for. Really expressive. I also add some text to make the audiences get my ideas.

My ideas is not show directly on the image. I want to make the audiences think deeply about what they have seen on my poster. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT LUXURY?. What do you think if you are in the position of the tiger and see the tiger are wearing our human's skin. People think that it is luxury if you wear tiger skin. So what if tiger call that luxury when wearing human skin?

I then created more detail to my work. Make it focus more on the tiger and also made some changes on my text title (Thank miss Li Ping for comment on editing my work). Below on the left side is my final poster.

As you seeing, i also made another version of my final poster. Editing the text to make it lool like gold! Not really bad right? ^_^ (The different in the color is the result of color mode changing process >_<)

Thank for watching my entry. Njoy!

This is my page layout that i designed by Illustrator. As you can see, i had tried to arrange all the information in a clean way. I think this will help the reader easier to read and focus on the information that they need. I only use 2 typeface for this page. I think it is enough.

And this is the texture that i used to make my background. Actually this was taken from one page from the really old book. Feel free to use it your own. Njoy!

This is my homework that show my ability of doing flash animation. The original file is just the cannon and the task is to make the cannon fires the ball out. I have just mixed things up a little and created some background images to make it vivid and more funny. All are doing with motion tween. Njoy :D

Hello guys, in this entry i will show you my new characters that i made 2 months ago. They are called BabyTV. All the characters was inspired from all the electric tools that you use them at home everyday. As you see, all my characters have a square head and tiny body. I try to make them look funny by this way. Furthermore, i also made the emotion in their face. Each character have different emotion.

My first character is inspired from the TV. The ideas of making new character come when i watching TV and feel boring :)) . At first, this character didn't have ears but i decided to add the ears to make it look more funny. He is holding a connector plug in hand and finding a wall plug.

The last character is Mr Plug. He is a plug who really need electricity. He had a special crazy love with Miss WallBox and said that he will has her at any cost!!! :))

All the characters were made by Adobe Fireworks CS3. I intend to make more characters to set a series called Square Head Series.

Okey, the last entry i have shown my old work that i did 10 months ago. This time i will show the most recent works of myself: Tracing car, again. Hehe. Because this is the second time I do the tracing so i have some experience and technique to make the car more realistic and speed up the tracing process. I still not use (and cannot use) the Mesh Tool in this work. :)). I always hope that i can control this tool. But still impossible...

This is the original image that i searched by Google. It the Aston Martin AMV10 Concept. Just an idea that Aston Martin's designers created, not ready to serial produce.

And this is my final work, can you realize which car is the real one? Hehe

Next is the car outline. I am sure that you will realize that my outline is really messy. But that is one of my techniques.

The last part, i will share you some of my experiences to speed up the tracing process.

1. I traced the car part-by-part. I am not drawing the whole car's outline and then filling the color because i realize that when drawing all the car outline, you will get difficult to find which layers that you need to work with. (experience from the first work. Hehe)
2. Trace the parts that most near your eye and then trace other layers under the first layer and so on.
3. Break the large part into pieces if you want to make a complicated gradient. In this case, i cut 1 large part into 2 pieces so i could create 2 different gradient. (This should easier if you know how to use Mesh Tool :D)

That all my experiences that i want to share. Thanks and enjoy my work ^_^

Fact:

• I did this in just 3 day with nearly 10 hours/ day (Faster than the last time. Keke)
• It has total 28 layers (Layers mean n0thing :D)
