Entry 19 + 20

Hi,
entry 19:
My entry comes from an idea which I wanted to create a shop with "Angel Smile name". That is the reason I must think how to create a logo for my shop. I drew this work in Illustrator program.
Firstly, I thought this logo. A smile mouth with the couple of swings and a white circle on the top.

After that, I got another idea because I wanted to combine the text and image together.


The swings were drawn from simple lines. However, it still looks very smooth.
In addition, the words "Angel Smile" were combined to the Swings to create a smile mouth shape.

The white circle on the top of the work looks like a circle of an Angel.
Do you think this is a meaningful logo?

I did a meaningful and suitable logo for my future shop.

Entry 20:

This entry I got the idea from a Vietnamese woman with "Ao Dai". However, I wanted to make the Vietnamese women images are more smooth so I drew them from lines.



I changed some colors for this image.







Then, I thought some new ideas for my "Ao Dai" woman images.

This is "Ao Dai" at Ben Tre province in Vietname. The "Ben Tre" women are usually wearing Ao Dai and getting a long black hair.



I call this image "Ao Dai" student because the high- school girl must be wearing white "Ao Dai". Moreover, they usually use a violet ink pot



Finally, I combined the "Ao Dai" Woman with Autumn. It looks really romantic.

Entry 18

Hi,

This safe sex poster was done for the assignment A2B. It looks extremely simple but it is really meaningful.
My poster contains the picture of a gun which is gotten in a condom by a woman hand
The gun is a dangerous weapon which is a metaphorical image of a male organ. The meaning is that the condom is really useful to save people in sex.
Moreover, I used a woman hand instead of a man hand to warn the woman. The women should protect themselves by getting in condom for their lovers.
I arranged the word "sex" on the left because on the right of the image is so strong. I want to create a balance for my poster. In addition, I put the word "safety" the middle and made it bigger than "sex". The reason is that I want to focus on the safety. I want to say that safety is extremely important in sex.

Entry 17


Hello,

I did a flash about the word "bomb" and and create a DVD film interface.

The flash bomb is really simple. I depended on its meaning and made the letters "b, m, p" falling like bombs. The letter o is rolling to the letters "b, m ,b". When it created the word "bomb", it will be exploded.

I created a DVD interface for "Lady & Tramp" cartoon of Walt Disney company.
http://unix.rmit.edu.vn/~s3146176/uploadimages/entry17+18/lady%20&%20tramp.swf

Firstly, I got the background image on this page http://lnx.ginevra2000.it/Disney/2000_2001/lady_tramp_01lg.jpg
Then, I editted it on PhotoShop program. I cut the middle image from the original and reduce its size.
Then, I cut to get the frame of the middle image to decorate for the buttons. I arranged the buttons around the resized middle image. Finally, I got a main menu interface.

Secondly, I designed the scene selection interface. I also used four images from this page http://lnx.ginevra2000.it/Disney/lady2index.htm
At the middle, I created a bone button to go back the main menu scene. The bone was drawn on Illustrator program by me.

Thirdly, I created the setting scene with both subtitle and audio. I also arranged them symmetrically as the main menu and scene selection scenes.

Entry 16

Hi everybody,


The idea of this entry come from one comment of my friend for me. He said that if he is a director for horror film, he will invite me to become an actress for ghost character (He wants to say that I am ugly and terrible like a ghost).
Wow! I always wonder that if I am a ghost actress, what I'll look like. That is the reason why I did the below work.


What do you think about this image? Are you scared? I Changed a little bit the original image to get this horror picture. The face and the eyes were cut and adjusted the color and light to look more horror.
Then, I imported it to the Illustrator Program to edit text.

Two letters "o" were combined with the rest of letter to become two face with screaming mouth. The word "film" were also used Matisse ITC font and white color to make a little bit horror.

Entry 15

Hello everyone,




This entry was used from the original image in entry 3 (beautiful peacock) on week 2. This work was edited on PhotoShop program to make it more strange and focus on the peacock's body. I used the magnetic lasso tool to select the peacock's body. Then, I changed the color and light for the body. However, I didn't change a lot its color. I just made them to look more real and brighter.
The big tail of the peacock was also adjusted about color. I made them darker in order that the body of the peacock could be emphasized.


Next, I imported it to the Illustrator program to edit text.
I used the blackadder ITC font for the word "Peacock" because it has a little bit the same with the shape of the peacock body.
The text "A molty beauty" was arranged with a curve like the curve of the peacock feather. I also chose a soft font to represent the peacock beauty.

Entry 14

Hi,
This image was created from some my parts and some devices on Photo Shop Program. I called it, 'New Machine'. It is combination some my part with a screen of a computer,a DVD discs, a mobile phone and a webcam device.

I wanted to create an impressive face for my new machine. That is a reason why I chose a red color to become the main color for this work. In addition, I chose the red shirt image so the red color for face will be very suitable.

The face is really impressive with three eyes. Two of them were created from the Webcam image. However, I changed the light (Ctrl +L) and the original color to make them more attractive with a little bit of red color.

Two mobile phones were used the ears of the machine. Certainly, I also changed the color of them in order that they are more suitable to the machine.

Two discs on the face were used to decorate as two rosy-cheeks of a girl.
Three discs on her head were used to record everything from three eyes.

The dog also edited with two eyes from two Webcam devices. The dog was used like a camera machine which connect to the computer screen.

my PSD file was compressed by Zip here: http://unix.rmit.edu.vn/~s3146176/uploadimages/entry13+14/Tien's image.zip

Entry 13_My Inside Nature

Hello everyone,

This is my first entry on week 7 and my assignment A2A. I want to post it into my blog to explain my idea for everybody.

Firstly, my face were created from two other halves of my different images. The half on my right looks really serious and the rest one looks extremely happy. This is my nature. There are two people with two opposite character inside me. I also don't understand myself. Sometimes, I am really serious, prissy and 'boil over with anger'. Normally, I am a happy and romantic girl as the left half which I presented.

The right eye was edited really big in order to focus on the special red point inside my right eye and present my reading and seeing hobbies. Moreover, I just believe what I saw. The disc on the right not only is a half of glasses but also the recording of my memory. On the disc, there are a picture of my family members and me. The picture with four people (my parents, my older sister and me) in the past is the happy time which I love much. I always wish that I can return that time. Another image is that I am wearing a pink 'Ao dai' (Vietnamese traditional dress). However, I am also drawing the word. Do you see the opposite things in the picture? 'Ao Dai' presents the graceful thing whereas the word presents for the strength. I used the picture because it represent for two opposite halves of my nature.

At the middle of my forehead, there is a image of Goddess of Mercy. She presents for my religion and my belief.

I love the dog very much. I bought a pink dress for her. I usually call her, 'my daughter'. That is the reason why I put a part of my face into her face. Now, she has a happy face with my smiling mouth.

I like the pink color and crazy with it. I have collected many things which have pink color. I took their photographs and edited them together. Finally, I got a pink background from all pink cute things which I love.

Entry 12

Hi everybody,

my 12th entry on this week is about a wild flower_ Water-hyacinth. It's really funny when I have been attracted by a really sad beauty of a wild plant "Water-hyacinth" in a small restaurant. The special thing is that these flowers were not only used to decorate for a dish but also used to eat with the dish.

The water-hyacinth plants drift and live on the rivers in Vietnam. They have green color and purple flowers. In the past, Vietnamese women's conditions were usually likened to these plants because of their unstable life.

I brought two branches of the most fresh flowers to home. However, I couldn't keep it's fresh and beauty for a long time. In fact, water- hyacinth flowers' conditions are the same their sad purple color. They will wilt very soon after they are picked up from the plants. That was the reason why I drew these flowers by my memory. When I went home, the flowers wilted. I put them to a plastic bottle of water. I put them to a plastic bottle instead of a beautiful vase because I want to keep their wild and simple beauty. Then, I drew them depend on my memory about the fresh flowers and the shape of the wilted flowers in the bottle by pencil and colored pencils . Then, I scanned it to the computer.




Next, I cut the main picture and put it in the new layer on Photo Shop program. After that, I gave a new layer with purple color on the top of the image layer. Finally, I got the below picture.




Next, I used the lighting effect and changed a little bit to get the below image.


Then I saved it with TIFF file and imported it to Illustrator Program. I edited the text here.

Entry 11

Hi everyone,

My idea comes from the moon symbol which I designed three week ago. I want to decorated s mandala about the moon and the sun.

My mandala was done on Illustrator program. I just used simple shapes, However, my mandala contains two meanings.

The first meaning is that it represents the planets. You see. There are nine lighting circle that are nine planets orbit around the sun. Moreover, at the middle, there is the moon symbol which represents the night. Certainly, the red circle with yellow and colorful light are sun.

The second meaning is that the earth and the circle of time night and day. The circle of night and day is the symbols of moon and sun at the middle. This is the same as the first meaning.
The light blue circle presents for a blue sky. The black part is the earth and the dark blue with white stroke means the sea with white waves.
