Shopping done in excess is a serious issue and a growing problem everywhere. People addicted to compulsive shopping need to be aware that they do in fact have a problem and should get help. I believe that a solution can be aimed towards stopping shopaholics at the point of purchase— before they make an impulse purchase —because this exercises their self-control and will help correct their compulsive shopping habits.

More details coming soon…

So how did #blackoutSOPA feel like? Scary! Imagine SOPA and PIPA passes and your website gets shut down just like that. Although it is an american legislation, us canadians should still get our voices heard! The internet affects everyone.

Help save the internet! Fight against SOPA and PIPA! 

Anyway, I will (eventually) put up some of the work I’ve done last semester, but it’s just been a busy start to the new year, and thanks to the flu/cold bug going around, I was forced to slow down and take it easy. Been sick since new years and it appears that I’m still sick. Being sick is definitely not my ideal kind of start this year but as somewhat of an optimist, not going to let some stupid bug bring me down. Lots of new projects ahead this year, really excited!

Oh, and below is just a little sneak peek of one of my projects I did for type class. Will update my portfolio section soon, promise.

Happy Friday!

It’s been awhile since I last blogged, this summer was just soo busy! Anyway, here is the last assignment I did for my typography class (comd 204) over the summer. It was basically designing our own modular typeface. Overall, I really enjoyed the assignment, but I wouldn’t say I am 100% satisfied with what I came up with, but with the time restrictions and everything going on, I would say I’m at least 80% satisfied.

I still can’t believe summer is almost over, but the sad part is that it has to end with rainy weather this week. Typical Raincouver life.

Anyway, stay tuned for more posts of my design work (hopefully it won’t take me another month to post, haha). Happy Tuesday!

This is a video project I did with my classmate Jennifer C for design core (DESN 210). It’s still pretty rough, and probably needs a better ending.. but oh well! It was due today. Maybe in the future I will polish this piece up, but for the time being, just enjoy!

Any feedback always welcome.

Wondering what I’ve been busy doing? I’ve just been enjoying life as a design student, doing some contract work, enjoying the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, and taking on whatever comes up in life. Oh.. AND of course finishing up a couple freelance projects—which I launched just this week: Solo Dia and Pampered Girlz. You can also check them out in my portfolio. Enjoy!

Happy Thursday!

Someone mentioned I should post my data visualization project from design class, so here it is! The main project topic was on Myers-Briggs personality types. If you don’t know much about Myers-Briggs, then it might not make so much sense to you, but anyway, check it out!

* Note: Because it was a school project, I only had time to test it in Firefox and Safari/Chrome, so if you’re using a different browser, like IE, then I can’t guarantee that it functions properly, use at your own risk! *

I took the photo (above) downtown right after the men’s hockey team won gold! Never seen so much canadian spirit in my life.. I honestly didn’t know we had it in us! So proud to be Canadian! I LOVE CANADA!!!
