I'm inspired by: Birkenstock print campaign

It's surely inspiring for my recent projects which is designing an event campaign with contemporary Japanese/Asian theme :P

Designed by San Fransisco based – Duncan/Channon's (wow, they surely have grown. I remember visited their website three years ago when they just got started).

Calm homes breed happy people

"… Many people in the country who work really hard, their home turns into a little dumping ground, and they’re always running late or losing things, they don’t invite friends over. If your home is feeling like that, what you want from your life and relationships is going to suffer, because your foundation is not strong.

The home is the only space we have that is our own, that we can control. It’s very important for people in this day and age to have that sense of control in their life, and if it’s going to be anywhere, it’s going to be in the home."

Very interesting reading, a short interview with Apartment Theraphy founder Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan. Please continue reading from here.

I trully miss you…

I really miss blogging… But, everyday is a rush… if I have time to relax, my brain just couldn't even spell a word. There are always paper works stuff to organise too at home… I've been lacking in sleep, waking up to work late… There have been quite a lot of activities to do after work: more dance practice, bday dinner to attend, catch up with sister and friends, movie premier to attend… no, I haven't been home much. I reach home around 10pm ish everyday and leave home to work about 7am. So do the math how much I take my rest everyday.

Hope you all will have a lovely weekend. I am off to Ekka this Saturday!!!! You're welcome to give me a buzz if you want to join. Strawberry Ice Cream, here I come!!!!!

For weekend reading, for designer and non-designer should definitely read this: Meet Your Type: a field guide to typography.
