He walks!

Today...february the 1st, my little Elmo is walking :)

A year ago he was still inside my belly, and now before you know it...he's walking!

Can't imagine how happy I am :_)

A collection of few of my work. Yes some of it may look tacky. But I believe everybody should be tacky first in order to be sophisticated. Enjoy! or not, whatever :)

On my early work, I designed a campaign poster about drug abuse for a non-profit social organisation which at the moment campaigning movements against drug abuse and focusing itself on youth development.

Later on, a friend offered me to designed a cover proposal for an upcoming movie that supposed to be a mixture between tap dancing and hip-hop.

  

Another friend asked me to designed her wedding invitation. She emphasized the word "antique yet elegant" oooooh soooo many times, and here it is! Luckily, she then find the design to be quite ravishing :) *fiuh*

There was an offer to do a set of tourism infomercial of jakarta. I tried, but unfortunately didn't won the pitch. Well, you can't always get what you want, sh*t happens! *big grin*

A kiddy store just about to open in one of the Plaza in jakarta, and I was offered to do a set of in-store advertising including the interior design of the store. And I thought "hmm, never did an interior design before...but what the heck, let's do it!".

It was late 2005 when my folks decided to shipped me off to Germany, and so I was. The name of the town is Kiel (never heard that before in my life). And just when I thought I'm all alone, turns out I'm not :) There are quite a bunch of other Indonesian students too that joins together in a student community called "PPI Kiel" (that's short for "Perkumpulan Pelajar Indonesia di Kiel"). One day, they planned to have this cultural event and I'm in charge of making all the design (flyer, poster, ticket, etc.), even the stage backdrop which can be seen below. To jig things up, I decided to make the backdrop purely hand made.

After 2 years in Germany, we threw another cultural event which took place in this breezy beach in Kiel (believe me, it's nothing compare to our beaches here :p). Once again, they let me in charged of all the art and design material. Here hopefully you can see how the design were more mature than before.

I grow :)

After I grabbed that master diploma in hand, I stay a while in Kiel then leave for Berlin. In the first month I stayed in Berlin, I heard in PPI Jerman radio about this local blues band from Indonesia that first paved their career away by performing in a few international jazz & blues festival in Europe, they called themselves "Gugun Blues Shelter". I went crazy about them just instantly! The radio announcer, which is also a friend of mine, told me that he knew the people in the band and that they have a plan to perform in local clubs and bars in Berlin and wonder if we could arrange that for them. "YES" is absolutely my first answer, so I started designing the band's corporate to be shown to club owners throughout Berlin. Aaaaand, they also went crazy about my design...which is, YAY!

A year finding job in Germany wasn't that easy, so I came back to Indonesia and got married instead :) I told my fiancee that he can worried about the food stuff, I don't care if we just served water and bread, but the wedding invitation is mine! MUAHAHA! Back then I was so in love with everything that is shabby chic, so I incorporated that in the design.

Here are a bunch of logo design works I did throughout the years.

Some school projects which I find quite interesting. I got to do a child voice over for the computer tutorial program for children, and I convinced everybody to thought that it really was a kid's voice.

Shhh, but it's actually me..

I like to draw. And I like perfection. Below is a few of my idea of drawing that combines the two aspects. I'm very moody to draw, but once I did, even an meteor attack followed by the resurrection of Godzilla won't fazed me. 

And yeah, sometimes I have fun abusing Photoshop!

One of a film project I did for a film competition in Kiel called "nur 48 Stunden", which roughly translated "only 48 hours".We were supposed to figured out a plot line, filming, and editing in only 48 hours! It works like this: they gave us the main tagline and the things that must be portrait in the movie as evidence that it really was made during the given 48 hours time frame. Talk about hectic.

That's it!

Well, for now :)
