last minute work on illustrator-photoshop-illustrator....

so the longest night began pretty okay. finished the guitar sketch after struggling like anything to fix stray lines and whatever it is that took me the entire night to do.

tutor: so was it worth it?

when i was doing it? no. not really. not even after seeing the finished product.

From 2208 2nd Batch
but it did matter when my peers said they liked it. first design that they liked. man that meant that world. more than any grade. more than my lack of sleep.

I hate this work. really. just everything about it. not original, not worked over. but it did teach me sth about design, it's really about unlocking your mind. I was just fixated on drawing the stupid dunno what clef and dunno what have you.... lost track of what i was supposed to do.

that said, i'm pretty proud of that little addition at the bottom. haha dao gae. (:

thanks again to jean for her last minute adobe advice that saved my sorry un-artistic ass again.

Hi Joseph

Guitar -- Could you pls do something abt the O and P?

Tao Gei -- I can't see quite a number of alphabets. What you could do it to make it darker as an outline for the alphabets. Alternatively, further mold your notes? Or combined different notes? Pls continue playing around with this.

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Siti

Yup, I'm intending to redo both.

The latest assn gave me a little inspiration to maybe use Roman/Greek thing to replace Tao Gei. Cos I really don't like that idea at all actually.

Will upload cleaned up guitar soon (:
