Design or illustration is always adjustable to make it work

This was one of the example of design or illustration I made back then for a purpose but got declined only to be used for other project with higher price after several adjustments. 
 
As long as we can work our way out and be creative and being flexible enough, nothing is going to waste in every design we made. It might be related to timing, or the right person who can appreciate it.

Feel free to contact me for any custom illustration or design through email:

Once a fashion designer turned into graphic designer (part2)


 Well, when I lost the will to study at college or university after I failed the state university exam, my mom decided to force me to fill in one year time with fashion design course and an English diploma before I can retry to do another exam for state university next year. I was simply obeying my mom without the will to really do it passionately. However, parents somehow knew what their children are good at. I was frustrated at first but then I managed to adjust myself in doing both fashion and English at the same time.

I then learned to see things in bright side and realized these were good for me after all. Then I suddenly remembered her, the one person whom I ignored when she gave me a suggestion to pursue fashion field after seeing my drawing in my high school days. I wasn't think of it seriously since I wasn't into fashion at all. 

I'll continue next time..

Once a fashion designer turned into graphic designer


I was once worked as fashion designer. A choice of career that was not in my mind from the start but then, I was left with no choice in my confusion to set up what I wanted to do with my life. I was graduated from high school at the age of 17 and I was thinking my life would be as simple and smooth once I got into college which has nothing to do with my drawing hobby and then got a job and live simple and so on. However, that wasn't the case. It was not as I've expected at all. Life always stores surprises for me in the next few years ahead and sometimes, least than I expect it would be. 

I will continue this when I have more time later.

Design inquiry for Queer26

This was my illustration for Queer26 and it is belong to them now. I show it as only a portfolio without any commercial use. The basic idea that came to mind when I did the design was a girl mind is a universe. There are a lot of freedom and creativity, mindfulness and anything joyful in her life.

True Beauty from The secret of Angel - webtoon (Korean Drama 2020 - 2021) VS Backstreet Rookie (2019-2020)


 Well, what can I say? I've watched the 2 dramas in several months distance and I have to say these two actually has something more to offer but perhaps it didn't go as I would've expected in the end. I will give my thought about both drama as below:

BACKSTREET ROOKIE  (2019 -2020)

First of all, the one which aired a few months prior was Backstreet rookie. It is based on a webtoon with titled Convenience store Saet-Byeol /Pyeonuijeom Saetbyeoli. I read in several articles before the drama adaptation was decided, it was quite worrisome because of its adult content. People were concern due to the adapted adult content in drama later on and age of the selected actress Kim yo jung is really young in her early 20s meanwhile the actor Ji chang wook is in his 30s of age. 

 I didn't read the webtoon for this one as I was more curious about the drama itself. At the beginning of the early episodes. actually it has some potentials to grow more and turn into something great in the story. However, due to some violations based on viewers' opinion which accumulated in a protest to the government institution for this field, the drama finally got some warning and penalty. Since then, the story was stagnant, quite boring, practically didn't go anywhere that much. It should've been more if only the writer adjust the story better for the main characters and give them the justice they deserved but then again, I guess the drama team was trying to play safe, although to be honest, it was 'too' safe. In the end, it was quite disappointing as for 5.5 - 6 out of 10 for me.

TRUE BEAUTY (2020 - 2021)

Now we move on to the next drama. True Beauty. Another webtoon adaptation from The secret of Angel / Yeoshingangrim which revolved around a young girl who gained better attention after being bullied for her looks by applying some make up to make her looks beautiful. 

I've read the webtoon for several chapters until I dropped it halfway due to my boredom. I then, give the drama a chance to see if it was better than the webtoon itself. I guess I was expecting too much of it. Other than good looking guys, a scent of bullying problem, and highschool life drama, there was nothing else to offer. The point of expecting the main girl character to grow more as an inspiring one was far fetched. She was just too lucky in her life and that's not really what I want to see. Therefore, I didn't continue the rest of the last episodes as I didn't really feel like doing it. In my taste this would be 6 out of 10 too. One thing that is perhaps inspiring would be the costumes for youth fashion inspirations.

Side note: Maybe this is influenced by my personal thought and often comparing it to Japanese drama which often shows of life should be better if we deem to thrive for it the best we can.

*the drawing of True Beauty was a sudden urge as I want to do it when I still expecting a good thing from the drama back then.
