Program

Here's the program. It's pretty low-key, but I'm proud of it. It's a simple design that uses watermarks instead of my usual complex vector illustrations. I'm inclined to use them more often now they're so much easier to make than vectors. Yeah, I won't go into boring technical details. There it is.

Figured that out

The 'Add Image' function doesn't work in Slimbrowser, apparently. But sadly, it does cater to Internet Explorer - the status quo (and a lousy quo at that). But on the upside here is.. here is the poster! Wow! I really should have put this up earlier! I feel comfortable putting this up because I did most of the work. Biku might put up the postcard and website if she wishes because she did those.

The program will be in the next post. It's not this dramatic, but I'm actually even more proud of it.

On the downside, my Design Kumetai never really had a chance did it? Only attracted one comment - and that was from my girlfriend! So I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Oh well...

A Great Success

Been a crazy week. Apart from the preparatory work done for the shelter on wednesday and thursday, the event itself was pleasantly exhausting. I was there for about 9 hours and Biku for 7 or 8. We were told by email that the whole thing had been an utter success and that people had flipped out over our designs. I was surprised at how quick it was to dismantle the whole thing - only took about an hour and a half. I must say it was nice to do something physical for a change - I really miss that as a designer. My body held up admirably for someone who probably spends an average of 40 hours a week immobile in front of computer, never works out and eats whatever he pleases whenever he pleases. Just watch, I'll die from a massive corronary tomorrow just for saying that.

Biku only sold two tickets (apart from the ones we bought for ourselves), which is two more than I sold (she kindly asserted that we had sold one each). I now realize, as I post to this blog, that this would have been an excellent place to promote the event before it took place - but hindsight... blah, blah, blah.

I'm trying to post a picture of the event here - but the 'Add Image' button doesn't seem to be working right now. Maybe next time.
