Serious Disease for designers

Laziness! Laziness always the 1st killer for designers. Laziness is just like a disease and it will slowly spread and easily effect others. Laziness is always around us no matter who we are and what we do. In creative line, i will say that laziness is a serious disease because once you get this so call disease, u will lost your motivation in doing things and will just always slack around.

To my fellow design line friends, we all know that in design line we always need to do a lot of researches and read a lot of articles in order to understand what is going around us and this will be easy for us to overcome our design brief. Sometimes we even need to work over time to finish up those projects. We can never skip this process no matter how busy we are. We always need more time in doing research and time/deadline always the obstacle for us to do more. So, in order to get the maximum solutions in minimum time, we need to manage and make use our time well. Every single minute is money and we cannot just lost it without doing anything. I remembered that when i was in my college time, my tutor asked us a question before. The question is "how do you love graphic design?". I was not sure about the answer that time but now i can tell that i love graphic design very much and i will sacrifice most of my time for graphic design. So, how do you love graphic design?

I hope that there will be no this kind of disease in your body and wish that you will be a successful designer. Do remember that do more is for your own benefits.

Young Scooter Playa~

WOW! that is cool isn't it? I am doing my assignment for a skateboard deck design so for the promotional poster design i need to take some pictures from the skate park. From the place i stay i took 30mins bus and reached Southlands skate park. I was there around 4pm and there were full of youngsters and small kids that playing scooter and bike. I just walk around and took some pictures. I was suprised that there is a guy that can do extream stunt on his bike. His name is Phil and currently working. He told me that he had been biking for like few years so now just take biking as a hobby. After had a chat with him then i continue to take the photos for my assignments. The sky is almost raining but there still have a group of very young scooter players. There were around age 6-12. I was impressed that even they were young but as you know play stunt games will always fall and get hurt. They don't even cry when they fall from their scooter. Ouch~~ i felt pain for them (hee.hee). The know i was taking photos there so they also excited and ask me to take some of their photo when they doing stunt. Haha that was so fun. After play with them like around 1 hour, i finally finished my photo shooting. So is time to go back for dinner then. After said goodbye to them, i headed to the bus stop and waiting to go back. In my mind just flashed back how was their spirit toward stunt game. I fully wish that they will become a good player in the future. Cheers~
