I'm sure that you all know Heineken and used to see some of its ads on TV. They're fantastic. I've seen a lot of ads from Heineken and some are boring, normal, but some are really awesome. Following is one of my most favorite ads all the time that I can found. There are a lot more interesting ads I used to see but I couldn't find them.



I love the way the story is. The man runs out of beer, goes out to pick up more, when he realizes that everything is transforming, turning back into old days like 1930s. The way they make everything transformed is spectacular, look really cool and lively. All the cars, buildings, stores' hoardings, people, fashion, and even the road, everything. Then he goes out of the cab to make it clear, when he finds out the truth, everything changes but HEINEKEN. "It's exactly the same". COOL.

Here is another funny and interesting Heineken advertisement.



I love advertising, not only Heineken's, it's just one of my favorite.

How do you think about advertising? and what other ads you have seen that you find interesting? Why? Can you share them with me?

At the beginning, I decided to choose REVENTON for my car tracing assignemnt, I even got started, but when I found out that lots of people were doing with Lamborghini, I changed my mind. And I turned to find my other favorite brands, BMW, but the problem was I intended to find a traced edition BMW 6-series which I'm really love, just like I had done with my Reventon to make it easier, I didn't find one. But still do it though it's more difficult for me.

This is the original image i found on internet



And this my work



Maybe it's the only BMW that has been traced in this semester :D, however I'm not satisfied with this work so much actually. I'm really not. It doesn't look like what I've planned it to be, hichic. What do you think? It's not excellent, I know, but is it good enough?

When you first look at his work, I bet you thought it's weird, right? Even when he nearly finished his painting, I still could not get what he was doing.However, I kept watching him because I thought that he tried to do something and dance with the light music. Amazingly, lastly he turn it, it was a man smiling in his picture. Moreover, he's so talent when he was spinning and drawing by just using his hands.

What do you think when you first see these pictures? Do they surprise you? "Surprice? What do you mean by surprise? They're just animal pictures. There's nothing special at all" Do you think that. Maybe. Because It was also my thought when I first saw them. But whhy don't you look more carefully, slowly to see how very special they are. They are spectacular special. They are not animals, I mean real animals, they just look like animals. Yes, that's called "Body Painting Art". They are hands and they're amazing. It's one of the kind of art that I'm really interested in. It makes your hands look quite lively, quite vivid as you're seeing real animals even with just painting brush.


These pictures have a very strange and beautiful name "Handimals", they are created by an Italian artist Guido Daniele. I think it's magnificently creative when he can combine his painting talent and his imagination. To do these "handimals", he must decide what shape of the hands can create to make suitable animals. As you can see, animals are created by different shapes and states of our hands, and if you don't do the right shape, the right hand gesture, you can't express the right animals. And be noticed that when the artist paint on hands, they're not in the shape that we see in those pictures. We have to straight out hands to be painted on easily. You know what I mean, right?

How do you think about that?
That is really interesting.
Cheers.

This is what I've studied in class. I'm very interested in the blur effect and the history brush tool. These are some simple images using that tool and blur effect.

These are just really simple moves that I believe that all of you can do. But I hope the idea somehow starts some great ideas in you.

This is the Type Creature assignment from DIM I. I really like it so I want to share it with others. The work is the combination of alphabet letters: I, J, f, C, w, o (but it really looks like an "a"), v, numbers: 3 and 6, and other characters: dot, exclamation mark, parenthesis.

I think the most important step for this task is choosing the type face. It depends on which animal designers want to depict and how they want to expect the creature to be, whether it's soft, tender or hard look. Once you choose the right font face, you can easily design the creature.

About my work, I chose the chicken because it's not too complicated and it's not too simple either. Actually, it's not exactly what i was thinking. When I saw it, I just felt right, so I chose it, with no specific reasons, whether it was difficult to express or not.

And it was really interesting when I started choosing the font for my chicken. It was quite a confusion. The chicken is so tender, but lots of the fonts are so tough. Fortunately, I found Zafpino which I discovered later that it was the font made only for Macintosh. phew! Done. I felt really satisfied when the work was finished. I really love this, how about you?

I have an idea. Why don't you try to figure out where all the letters, numbers and characters I mentioned are.
