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.

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

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.

Shopping for fruit bowls...

Well the people that know me, know that I love to shop for things to decorate the house.
I also know that after the Christmas holidays there are major sale's going on, I'm still in college so I got to keep it cheap.

Then I stumbled on a beautiful fruit bowl designed by Abi Alice at the Bijenkorf (Rotterdam). I got to keep that girl in mind, because she does pretty interesting things with geometry and math.
To be honest i can already imagine how it looks like on my table.

Anyways she did get me inspired right...?
