EXPO: Graduation Tao Chan (personal graduation work)

Inspired by a crystal and forged with the lightest materials. 

For this graduation project I used the shapes in the picture I made from a crystal. 

There is a reason why I chose a crystal.

The item displayed on this item is a traditional shape seen over many years. 

If you look again it contains many modern shapes.

 It leads to how I grew up as a child,

 I let the traditional way behind me and the way I design is modern 

and inspired by deconstructionism.

EXPO: Graduation expo p.1

The graduation exposition is a great hit, our work was standing.
The reactions to our work was great and we had a lot of fun. This is our last project at "Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam" .

A new door is opening and we past the horizon.

The fashionista's from the fashion class came by out of curiosity 

Our fellow student "Onur" graduates later this year, he's a great sport to
 cheer us on our graduation work

If there is work to do,
then there is also stuff to clean

Old memories

I am very busy with my last project at GLR before I graduate. Today I realised how many things I made over the last 4 years. I came to the Graphic lyceum Rotterdam, not knowing how the Artistic world was like.

 This video displays my first to my last work last year, it's not perfect but more will come.



I will discribe some of my favorite projects in later posts

 Hope you like it.

Perfect bags for the stylish photographer

I have seen it hanging in stores quite a lot. The beautiful beige colored camera bags, with a touch of light-brown leather.

The Bellingham camera bags

The bag is quite sturdy really and it's quite handy to use. You can strap it open, its waterproof and your camera feels more safe then ever.

The best part is, it looks like a designer weekend bag. In some of the Bellingham bags you can get the camera interior out and use it as a normal bag.

For a nice pretty designer bag, you also pay the designer price ;)
(Just keep that in mind)

 


I hope I get one for my birthday, or chinese new year :P

I am going for it!!

http://inspire-2-design.blogspot.com/2011/01/design-achievement-awards-2011.html

A phew days ago I posted that adobe is doing the achievement awards again this year, I got little butterfly's in my stomach after posting it.

I followed the achievement awards for a couple of years now and I think that I finally got the courage to compete. It's my final year and I got a lot of training and studying during my college years.

I will be participating in the categories 

Photography and Installation design

And who knows maybe I'll get lucky.

Me in my early photography days :P

Change of plans

Ok my concept for the final exam wasn't strong enough and it sounded pretty lame eventually.
But I'm going for another concept, the actual idea is that the object that I choose has to tell something about me.

I am going back to my roots, starting with the way I used to design expositions.

Starting with geometry, I don't know what it is but I love geometric shapes. As specially when you place it in open spaces. I often get a  futuristic feeling when I see it.

Also I like to play with material. Testing it out and do something else what you won't at least expect.

Finally there is minimalism. During my photography years, I found out that I like simple shapes.
Not to crowded and with a simple but strong subject on a photo.

Well I hope that this concept turns out alright... but don't hesitate to comment, I could use the feedback right now.

Exited!!



This year is my final exam year at GLR to get my diploma to become a designer, so I am verry much brainstoming my ideas about how I'm going to present my project.

My briefing was that I had to choose an item the represents myself and create a small exposition around that.

So I got a lovely "fake" chrystal. What I want to show is that to create something that looks like created by an high end designer doesn't always have to be that expensive. It all depends on how you place you furniture, the material and you can always costumize products.

I will post my ideas for the coming weeks and don't be shy sending in a idea ;)



Imagine ít is the size
of your fist
