My previous favourite work

While filing old works into my art folio, I came across one of my favourite work I did way back in 2007. It was a flyer done for Darussalam Mosque. It was done within a span of 2 days. The comic was done by a young chap (I forgot his name) but the whole layout and concept was done by me. With tight deadline, it was a real challenge but somehow I made it.

Banner design & prints

Doing banners (design & print) is an art in itself. The canvas size is limited and the info must be precise and compact. Here's some of the recent ones that I've done.

"Microwave-ready pack" Satay

I've been working with Jumain Sataysfactions numerous times designing their packaging & corporate logo. It's been a wonderful partnership and I am always given lots of opportunity and space to explore my design limit.

"Asli" is a brand name for Jumain Sataysfaction. While working on the logo, I took due consideration to its core nature. Asli means natural/original in Malay, so it got to be original and at the same time have that natural feel to it. This brand is very versatile.

Recently, Jumain Sataysfactions is marketing its microwavable satay which took mere minutes to prepare and it's ready to eat. One thing for sure... it's tender and sweet for a microwave satay. Nice! I am given the opportunity to design the packaging. My main aim is to make it identifiable by just one look. I sincerely hope it works.

Hits Swee Swee..... Sweeeet!

I was again given the honour to design another music compilation album by Life Records (S). This one is a compilation of hits song by local Malay talents and will hit the store by december 2008.

Life records always have this thing about giving quirky yet catchy title to its album. This time is Hits Swee Swee! If I'm not wrong, swee means just nice, good, pretty... or something to that effect..

Playing with the chinese word "Swee"..... I decided to have a bit of a chinese feel to it, but not too much until potential buyer (Malay ) may be misled into thinking this is a chinese music album. I've included some chinese elements & motifs. The speaker on the background is a replacement of a "Pak Kua" or shield used by chinese "Feng Shui" geomancer.

Overall, I'm quite happy with the end result... but is very sure there will be major tweak here and there before this album hits the store.
