Today's CD Cover Design: What Happens Next

I did the routine project today.

Here is the rule:

1 – Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”or clicken.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomThe first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to “Random quotations”or clickwww.quotationspage.com/random.php3The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”or clickwww.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7daysThird picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 – Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

So I went to flickr and saw the third pic of the day. It's a protrait of a lovely baby from lylevincent. I took a little part of it and use as a main visual element in my design.

Here is what I got:)

Pattern Project: Swirl Series

Yesterday, when I showed the heart pattern series to my sister, she said she liked the one with systematic orders. Instead of random patterns, She likes patterns with some rules in display.

So I decide to try some projects of those simple-look pattern with regular display. I played around with one swirl motif in Illustrator and here are what I got.

I personally like the last one the best. How about you?

Dreamed Magazine Pages

When I feel bored, this project is my favorite choice. I use acrylic-based print marker to draw on the magazine pages with my instinct. It's so relaxing and the result is lovely.

Poster Design: Family

I saw a post online about artists keep doing personal project every day. It's a meaningful thing to do because it can keep you inspired and keep you busy at hand. 

I make my mind to do the same thing and I hope I won't stop halfway. 

Today I watch a documentary called Jiro Dreams of Sushi and drew some random sketches. After dinner, I scanned these doodles into photoshop and play around with them. I tried to get messy and don't think about the result. The final result turns like this, and when I look at this, I think about family.





Family usually has several family members with different ages. Usually family members bring love and laughter to each other, but sometimes they bring hatred and jealousy.

Sometimes, a big family is somewhat like a small society.

Nothing is absolutely positive, nor is negative.
