This is looking to be a good week. My monday started out horrible, arrived late. Had an awfully crammed experience on the two morning transfer buses, plus I finally missed the school stop while the other TPJCians and I ignorantly forgot to ring the bell ><
Still, the GP and Economics results did great for my mood. Had no idea how I managed to, but I scored C and B respectively for both subjects, much better than quite a few. I really slacked off my preparations, and I guess it reflects in my S and E for Physics and Maths. But still, a C and B.. :D
Results aside, here's my preliminary sketch for TPJC Runway. Keep in mind it's themed to Circus Maximus, so I added muses from ring masters and acrobats to come up with this. Still, I'm gonna have to add in elements of flamboyance and glitz. Thinking of getting Joseph's help for the colours on Adobe, colour pencils don't give justice to what I need to visualize..
Took this sometime last week, the weather was cool, just after a rain. I love bathing on days like these, the warm glow bathes your bathroom walls, it'd seem like a resort anywhere with this sunset hue.
So I took the liberty of initiating a CCA tee for tennis, seeing so many get started on theirs, and thinking it'd do better for team spirit, wearing something uniform. You'd be amazed what uniformity can inculcate, if you didn't already realize P:
Painstaking, I tell ya. I shoulda gone with Wah Mee, some brand Joseph got for his CCA tee. Designed, confirmed and rolled out in a matter of a week. Mine had delays aplenty, and problems on their side so often that I had inklings I'd need to switch companies.
Still, the convenience they provided, coming down to school, no deposits and free delivery was really appealing to my laziness. Talk about sales pitch. So here're the three tee's that I've designed for my CCAs, the first two being student council tees, and each for 2007, 2008, and the tennis tee this year, '09 :\
This was actually co-designed by me senior, but I didn't like her taste tbh. I prefer fewer words, pictures yell more on a tee, and I didn't want cheesy leaderships phrases. Still, had to give some leeway for her part.
Below, the second tee. Undertook the whole of this, had the muse of shields and crests at that time, 'specially the one I did for Yi Chen and several others.. it's the second picture down, L for Lee yeah.
Here's the motif on the upper left of the polo, I was suprised at the intricacy of crest, it even had the shadow linings heh. The Damai logo's just below the lower tip of the crest, and at the back of the design too, draped in a scroll..
TadahhhhH! The tennis tee, plain n simple, but I'm so satisfied. It's the prefectionism that made me go bonkers for them to get the right colour. The firm said they had a printing darkening process to alter design colours automatically. I had to compensate for that useless darkening :X
Great, now I have something else to wear for tennis trainings, instead of the cyclical attire constantly :X Imma start designing the second draft of the TPJC runway outfit, and gonna go CHINATOWN (:D) tomorrow aftah school to get materials. My first attempt at designing and making an entire contume from scratch, wish me luckkkk!
