08S403 class tee
Saturday, August 9, 2008
Took a break from doing photo editing, as the class outing yesterday reminded me that some classmates asked me to design a class shirt. Orange is my favourite colour, so I really wanted to have ti as the class shirt colour. Then I realised that orange coloured shirts, though they stand out nicely, they tend to draw attention away from a design, unless the design is large enough. (which is something I will be attempting in subsequent designs.)
I decided to opt for a choice of light grey dry fit, (as compared to the collared tee I wanted earlier) and here are the designs so far. I do think that some people might not like the colour scheme though, design 2 looks a tad too plain... I think I will shift up the logo to the chest level.
On another topic, Comex is coming soon (28th to 31st Aug) and I intend to get a new computer there. As of now, I am still (and forever) torn between choosing a Mac and a Windows PC. In the night and in the morning I told myself it will be the most effective solution to get a Mac, so that as a side effect, I will have no choice but not to play computer games. To begin with, I hardly ever play them nowadays, either busy designing or doing homework. Yet the allure will always be there, so what should I do?
Also, this year's RSAF open house is on the 30-31st of Aug. If I want to get a PC, I have to make sure to get it on the first 2 days of the exhibition.
Lastly, I couldn't sleep last night due to these strange calls, but I wouldn't put it up here. Anyway, I missed the opening ceremony to the Beijing Olympics, and I must say, even the later portion was damn well swell. I especially thought it funny when this poor little country sent in a small ceremonial team, and it went wedged right in between the gigantic ceremonial teams of the two powerhouses, Russia and the US. Russia came first, with a long trail of waving atheletes and such, then this comparatively puny team, followed by the equally (to Russia) huge American team.
I got to see Federer hold the flag for Switzerland too. Didn't know he was Swiss. Anyway, I think the grandest thing was when the torch lighting ceremony began. My god, it was epic. It was very ingenious, and to radically alter my mother's comment, "The british have 4 years to think up something, but I still think they're screwed." I enjoyed it very much, I thought the extrapolation of the usual wall-running scenes in Chinese epics was really put to its best.
