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.

Inspiration from my kids

Recently, I was comissioned again by NParks to design & produce a banner for one of their parks. It's an event targeted at kids aged 5 - 10 yrs old. Initially, I was a bit worried because I got a lot of things in hand that I need to complete and my brain was numb after the Hari Raya celebration (a case of eating & drinking too much).

Luckily, one of my kids (aged 5 this month) gave me an inspiration. She was showing me her artwork on her experience in the neighbourhood park. It was simple, colorful and fun. Well, the rest is history.

The best part is I don't need to use photoshop at all. Everything is pure vector art done from scratch. I think the end product looks fun, clean and eye-catching.
