Super internet speed at my office. Too bad the internet got a very powerful blocker and all that's left is the boring sites to surf. :P

Designing This and That
by Dark Light in , , , ,

Lately my head is flowing with ideas. To simplify, I have played with Photoshop to came up with some new things.

Here's my new and improved logo, DarkLight Design Mark II. And this time the logo finally can be seen as a 'D' and an 'L'.


Next up, I enters a design contest. It was Dell's design competition (Dell Make It Yours) where they want the contestant to design the lid on one of their laptop; Studio 15. So I give it a try and submit two artwork/design; here and here.

And the last one is as a favor to Naufal. He asks me to draw a sketch of Desasiswa Jaya's new project to improve the hostel. I have some fun coloring it this evening though. :P

Exam is Upon Us...Again and Again
by Dark Light in , , ,

Here, I'll take a chance to say good luck everybody and happy "boiling-cooking-and-eating" your lecture notes and text books...

Hire Me!
by Dark Light in , ,

It was a busy month for all students of any university - quizzes, tests, VIVA, projects, you name it. And this update was done just because it was weekend.

As you know, I'm in my third year of study at USM. By the end of next semester I will go for my internship at one of 'chosen' company. Taking advices from my fellow seniors and friends, I decided to make my first ever resume, for applying for internship.

And if you understand me very well, a simple resume won't work for me. So I came up with this with Photoshop.

Important things like my address, IC number has to be blurred to prevent identity theft. LOL.

Of course the picture was changed for fun. My target was it to be simple but stunning resume. What do you think?

On the next post, the exam schedule for Chemical Engineers 3rd year. Wait for it!

USM Bloggers Tee Anyone?
by Dark Light in ,

This is an idea I got when blog-walking. From here.

Front
Back

So whoever interested to make it 'wearable', go ahead. Just ask me for the original design. And please note that this is the initial design, so I might alter it a bit to make it better.

P.S- Just noticed that Sally already bought one of the t-shirt. Bila dapat nanti pakai tau... :D

My Desktop of the Week #11
by Dark Light in , ,

I have nothing in mind to post anything in my blog. So here is my desktop of the week.

New applications has been installed. You can see it above (well, some of it).

And last week I being a bit crazy and replaced most of my computer icon. On the left; the music folder, on the right top; my collections of TV series, and the right bottom, my collections of movies. I just replaced the one that has the icon made by someone else. I'm too lazy to make my own.

That's it. Now enjoy your last piece of holiday and Happy Merdeka Day.

My Desktop of the Week #10
by Dark Light in , , , , , ,

It's the holiday time. So that means I will be stuck at home - being lazy. As the days passed by... I become more and more bored. I've even finished watching Friends for 5 seasons (season 5 to season 9).

So 3 weeks ago, I bought a PlayStation Portable (PSP) from a friend. And I even went back to USM to take some games like Rock Band Unplugged from Naufal. I even finished playing that game.

Again, because of the boredom, I ended up making a new wallpaper...


.....

I'm out of words. Shit.

My Desktop of the Week #9
by Dark Light in , , , ,

It's been awhile since my last post about my desktop because it's already becoming a 'must-do' post for me if I have any new visual style for my vista or a new wallpaper being made. So here is it- my new desktop look for this week. I made the wallpaper myself and following a tutorial from the web. I even tweak the tutorial to make it more perfect to go with my logo. And it does turn out good.


The red wallpaper is a special wallpaper, the JabbaWockeeZ Project. Made by yours truly.

During this exam week I've been feeling weird. While other people struggling to revise their studies, I on the other hand been sitting around watching movies, or even do nothing or anything actually except studying. It seems strange and I admit that I am not a genius or something like that. This feeling have made me come to this particular moment, where after two papers have passed- I did regret that I didn't make any effort to study at all. I messed up my Engineers in Society paper and wrecked the hell out of my Mathematical Method for Chemical Engineering paper. And still I have this feeling. Up until now I'm still not touched a single note, even just to look at it, except during the night before the paper. I'm in a deep shit, am I?

Exam is Upon Us...Again
by Dark Light in , ,

Thank god all of my quizes, tests, and presentation is over. Now I can finally take a break from all of the busy life at USM. In the next couple of week the final will start, which brings us to the part where everybody will facing their beloved lecture notes and text books, and not the internet.

So, here is my souvenir for my fellow 2nd year chemical engineers. Exam schedule for the upcoming final exam. Pardon me if there are no foreign language exam included (because of the limited space- and yeah, I know my logo take almost a third of it, so what?) and the design is too simple and quite dull. 

I'm wishing all of you happy reading your lecture notes and text books and good luck for the upcoming final examination.

Just click on the picture to view a larger size. To download it simply right click on the picture and choose "Save Image As"...

I'm currently testing a new web browser - Google Chrome. So far it perform magically fine- beautiful interface, great loading speed, etc. I think I'm in love with it... I will be using it for a week or two then I will decide whether I will continue using it or not.

It's The Final Design
by Dark Light in , , ,

So after some time thinking, I finally came up with this logo. And yeah, I know its kinda lame and boring, but it is better than nothing. Making the DL logo based from my sketch to Photoshop/Illustrator is harder than I thought it would. First I use Illustrator-failed, I use Photoshop- failed again. And after several more failures, I use both and succeeded. Yay~!

Words flying around that I might get a deal designing Prestige (annual book/magazine for Desasiswa Jaya) Ver.2, Should I take it? Oh, FYI, I'm also the co-creator and the co-designer for this year first edition of Prestige.

This upcoming week I will be very busy with tests, quizzes, and presentations so expect less post from me. Wish me luck!

Good Logo Design for Good Business
by Dark Light in , , ,

Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking- since I'm now starting to charge when doing designing work, I need to came up with a good logo. A logo that represent my so-called design business. With empty head I started to make some logos and end up with a terrible designs. Now, I need my fellow friends and my blog readers (if I do have any), I need your advice to make a simple yet awesome logo for my "company". And yeah, here are some designs that I've done so far.


One more thing, my laptop is now making its first record- I haven't shut it down for a straight 33 days 22 hours and few minutes! Impressive but I found a melted rubber band behind my laptop- showing that keeping your laptop on day and night will generate heat- a lot of heat... I'm just glad that my laptop doesn't go kaput!


And fyi, currently I am busy with my studies so expect less not more post from me. :P

Horror movie anyone?
by Dark Light in , , , ,

Honestly speaking I'm not a big fan of horror/ scary movies. My first experience watching horror movie (Ju-on 2) in the cinema was clearly a bad idea. Very bad. I became paranoia, always checking under the bed, and hoping nothing's there. The paranoid continued for a month and from that time, I always tried to avoid to watch any horror movies, especially in the cinema...And what the hell am I telling everybody about this? Shit.

OK. Putting the fear aside, last week while having dinner with my friends, we talks about the upcoming Chemical Night. More specifically, about what to do to fill the tentative for the night. I've heard rumours that the 1st year is going to do choir with strange selection of songs. Ah! I'm not supposed to say more, but you get the picture.

So we came up with this crazy idea: a short horror movie for the night. The plan was to...aaa... no, no.... spoilers are not allowed.. Let's just say that the movie is to 'entertain' all the people during the night. Thus last night we went to the set and starts to shoot the movie. Yes, the production of the movie is still underway, so I can't say what will happen next.

The shooting went quite smoothly despite the rainy night and a busybody security guard. And I must say, there's only a little scary (actually I didn't feel anything) shooting horror movie. Maybe I will be if the end product is superb, huh?

Back from the set and having nothing to do, I started to work on the poster. The first try ended up to a plain-not-a-thing poster. But, today because my laboratory experiment doesn't take too much time (30 minutes only), I went back to my room and finished the poster. And here is the end result:

"It was dark was it not?" -quote taken from Achmed (Jeff Dunham's puppet)

Anyway, if you wanted to watch this (short) movie, make sure you be at USM Main Hall, 12 March (oh yeah, only for Chemical Engineering Student). And one more thing to take note, don't put your expectations up high to see this movie during the night, cause it might not be shown due to the producers busyness. Maybe next year. :P

Two Posters for Two Nights
by Dark Light in , , , ,

So here is the new poster for the upcoming Chemical Night. Changed the background because the theme for the night has changed. Some of you may already seen this on the notice board at your block or at the school itself.


As you can see at my shoutbox, Mr. Rourke contacted me for another job. It's for the Civil Night poster. Here is the finished design. And it is actually a bit better than Chemical Night poster :P.
And yeah, both looks a like somehow. And...and...I didn't get paid for it (T-T) Wuwuwwu... Maybe next time I need to state that my work must be paid or something, should I?

p.s.: Mr. Sallikin, I already watch Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula, and loving it! "Fikir masa depan, Mak Uda!" If you know what I mean... :P

EE T-shirt Design
by Dark Light in ,

After finished the ORKEET T-shirt Designing job, another job pops out. And this time, it's the School of Electrical&Electronic Engineering Student Society (a.k.a. SEE) wants me to design for their tee. Honestly speaking, I'm still in my 'no-idea' state...

I have finished some of the designs before, but all of them have some fatal flaw- the language I was using on the design is Bahasa Malaysia and didn't include Mechatronic as well. So I have to redo all design and manage to came up with two extra designs. If you want to take a look at the designs, please go here.




And when finishing up this post, I found out that the fourth design have been chosen. The amazing thing is both design3 and design4 was done in just a couple of hours. Today. Hmm~~~ Next job, finishing the poster for Chemical Night. And thankfully I have something in my mind already...
