ArtChipelago Indinesia!

One of the ArtChipelago’s project, India mixed Indonesia. I made some illustration for it, using the story of Dropadi, woman who married the Pandawa 5. The original story, Mahabaratha, was came from India. And it blended with the Indonesia culture when the foreign trader came to Indonesia.

I mixed the pattern of those two country. One is ‘batik’, from Indonesia, and the other is ‘parsley’, from India. The woman in the middle is Dropadi (in my imagination). The color of her copped skin, type of face, and the red mark in her forehead show that she is an Indian. I think exotic is the characteristic of India. The woman, the culture, the legend, all of it. So I chose a colors that can consider to it.

The other illustration are Dropadi, with her 5 husbands. Dropadi is a very beautiful woman, attracting with a very high sex appeal. The polyandry she did with Yudhistira, Bima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sadewa is a part of Mahabaratha story. Their hands are blue, for stabilized the red colour of Dropadi’s hair (which known as a princess of fire), also because after the pandawa 5 died, they become a goddess, which often described have a blue skin.

The media is pencil colour, in an A4 drawing paper. 100% handmade. The references I’ve got are from Wikipedia, or other site I’ve searched in google and some books.

Surrealism Photography

My digital photography assignment… is a montage. Thanks to the angel who saved my life(yes, I live around the angels), Andi for borrowing me his camera :D Well. This is ‘Seniman dari Mimpi’. Simple concept, just about creativity(but I made a very long essay about it…hahaha). I made the ‘invisible man’ and the model(waw) are Andi and Unang (thanks to you two!).

The idea came from them when they were having a painting minor class. So they don't have to pose for it(except Unang who have a very high awareness of the camera). The backgrounds are a mixing landscape of trees and clouds, editing in Photoshop, captured by a pocket camera.

So if you have addlebrained, open your eyes and see around you. There are many things that you never recognize are very extracting and possible to give you an inspiration ;D

still life photography

Digital Photography always make me panic... 1.because I don't have a digital camera 2.because I'm very inexpert in taking a picture -_-;

The fifth project in my class was a still life monochrome-black and white photo. I fall asleep and pass the class, so I don't know what the task is it until the next day. I have 2days to give the photos for acc. ops... I won't make it.

So I opened my files on my computer, and editing it in photoshop into black and white. The picture above is from my project in fourth semester. I took it with AE1 Canon analog camera. And the other one was taking with pocket camera...

Best Songs When Rain...

choose. CD packaging or Chocolate packaging?
CD, of course, mam...,said I

This project was like a hell(hell yes I always said that). I thought I'm not gonna make it on time. But thanks to my friends, Cheta and Dhejih, GOD sent them to my house on a Tuesday to help me...;D

This is an easy listening compilation, BEST SONGS WHEN RAIN. A compilation that really nice to be heard when rain comes. Contain 4cds, oldies, now, asian, and instrument. Target marketing are teenagers and old people.

I bought a new umbrella. And cut the stem with an insult... stab it onto the box...just because I used the rain theme…
I used a black linen, carton, artpaper, transparent sticker, silver paper, and mika.

Re-Package it !

The question is ‘Do you like sunflower seed?’. No, let’s change the question. Well..’Do you ever eat sunflower seed?’. Many people don’t even know what is that…(I’m hyperbolized it, of course). Sunflower seed is delicious. But most people will buy it because they already like it. They just see the sunflower seeds, not the packaging(sure, they don’t eat the packaging). But guess what? Packaging is like an SPG, beautiful SPG will get many customer. Time to re-design packaging…

TJHIA TJHIA Sunflower seeds is one of the sunflower seeds product. Actually, I like the packaging(so why I re-packaged it???). The sunflower seeds are big and sweet...but I'm not gonna talking about that. The packaging was a pillow shape with a recycle paper. Though it has too many words(because the information are in 3 langusnges), but the layout is nice.

So. This is the re-design... I made it from artpaper with a picture of old paper texture and red sticker glossy lamination. I had searching for it in manywhere, but I just found it in Angkasa Putra Digital Offset. 'Miss...we just have A2 sticker for printing...and it cost Rp70.000,00. with a lamination glossy Rp15.000,00...', said the man. I'm broke. I just want A5 and I must print it in A2...

Perfect.

In the next day, I go to Print+, which near from my campus, and I was shocked... 'Yes, we can print it in A5 sticker paper...', said the woman.

Life is cruel, friend...

New iPod Touch Limited Edition???

It's New iPod Touch Limited Edition! Just a hope... DKV mayor 3 project 2 was making casing and layout advertising in magazine(am I right?Looks like I wrong.hahah, never mind). So I choose iPod Touch's casing, so I just have to make the back side of it(cheating).

The Theme was DigiTree(again). It's technology for black casing and natural for red casing. The black one is for men, and the other one is for female.

I used corel draw 5%, blender 3D 10%, and photoshop 85%... I just used Context family for fonts and minimalized the layout..

10 Pills of Life

10 Pills of Life was a Final project of Book Design. The project was making a new book. Because it was a final deadline time for every subject, I did it in a rush, and it had a lot of mistakes in here and there. But it finished in time…

Actually, I don’t really know what kind of book I had made. It’s kind of prescription for heart medicine. I don’t talk about the liver, definitely. I share some of my experience in this book. Just a simple way to make us feel happy. It is how you realize that you are a happy person.

enjoy and be happy :)
