FACOTOCOPIED

I would suggest you not to stare at these photos at night. Well, it's just not good for you and your mental health. At least, I don't think it's making your mind feel any better. It does not make me feel at ease even though they're my own photos!

PARKMOBILES

Two dumpsters full of greenery, with four more to come, add a bit
of nature to the streets of a paved-over downtown neighborhood in San Francisco. Some scoff, but others are willing to give the 'parkmobiles' a go.

MILK by MILLA

This is one design from the series Milk by Milla self-initiated milk branding and design. Designed by Christy Srisanan and Erick Barrios.

I just love the idea of childhood confession. According to Milla, there's nothing purer than kids and milk. Well, I definitely agree on the first bit but maybe not the second one. Uhh, I just hate milk and that's why. But I'm all for the packaging design. Such a light sweet taste for your eyes to look at. 

TRANSPARENT CAR

Ghost Car - World's first transparent car was originally built for the 1930-1940 New York's World Fair as part of the Futurama exhibit.

Found this on the way looking for good typography design for InDesign project. Totally love it. Consider it as a piece of art more than a machine that actually could run. Of course, it's even better if it does run smoothly too.

VIETNAM WAR

These photos were taken during the Vietnam War. It's just a very little part about the war. The war was much more cruel and terrifying than what these photos dare to say. I don't want to talk about politics or about who was right or wrong. But staring at these photos make me cry. Something touches my soul. It hurts. My parents went through this period and I am proud that they served the war. They were once young and brave enough to fight for the country and their own belief. I was so lucky to be born when the country was finally in peace even though my childhood suffered from poverty and the lack of many things. I get sick of people who think they know it all. There's always something beyond your experience and expectation, people! You are in pain but sorry it ain't no pain compared to stories that I've seen or heard. 

HUMAN ORGAN PROJECT: LUNGS

Photos by David, Hari and Jazzy

4-DAY-PROJECT: LUNGS

Currently working on my very first uni project. The brief asks us to work in a group of 5 or 6 people in order to explain a human body organ in a visual and entertaining way. Our group has 6 people (Hari, Gabi, David, Kerry, Chardy and me) and we've got to work on the LUNGS! I've been doing a bit of research and on the way, this song called Between two Lungs by Florence and The Machine just stuck in my head. Still have 1 more day to go and then the crit on Friday. Gotta try my/our best.

FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHER 2: MAI-PHUONG TRINH

I know this girl by looking around on Facebook. She's a friend of friend. I have been 'watching' her for a while and truly think that she's absolutely talented, especially at this young age. She's only 19 and already has quite a body of works. I love it even more when she uses film instead of digital. There is always something in her photos that I can't exactly find the words to describe. A sense of mood. You feel it and it's just that. At least, that's how her photos appear to me.

BETES DE MODE by HELMO

Photo Credits
Bete de Mode is a photographic installation for Galleries Lafayette created by Helmo (a graphic design firm based in Paris, France) in collobration with Thomas Dimetto. The fashion portraits in blue print (taken by Laurent Croiser) layers on the animal portraits which is in red print (taken by Christophe Urbain). I think it's purely beautiful and absolutely clever. And I'm even more excited when I know that the scale of these installation is 5 * 8 meters!
