Book Cover Faux Boss

233rd day of 2019.

Cut out board is the deboss effect, and the cut out pieces paste on another cover to be the emboss effect. Curve is difficult to cut.

Portfolio - Scroll

119th day of 2017.


Part of my design portfolio I am planning to do for my Master degree, is scroll making. I am envisioning to unroll the scroll to display a rather chronological progress of my design process. It should be nice to look at even though the content may not be so 'intellectual'. lol.

Acrylic - Vexillology 04

295th day of 2016.

I picked the thickest plastic sheet that I have, 0.05mm. Even though I am aware it is thick, but I didn't expect it took me more than 5 cuts to cut through the sheet.

 

Because my shapes are fairly straight, I used an awl to poke the holes of each points and then joint the dots. It is much easier that way.

Hacking Col-Erase - Part 2

38th day of 2016.

Today is Chinese New Year Eve, had been spending the whole day to clean the house. Quickly choosing out the shapes, and complete the last half of my Col Erase pencil hack. 

All the shapes work quite well, other than the V? XD I mess it up, forgot to mirror the image when marking on the eraser. *sighs*

And I am still using watercolor to stamp the shape.

Hacking Col-Erase - Part 1

32th day of 2016. Officially one month gone.

As you may already know, Prismacolor's Col-Erase color pencils actually comes with eraser tips. The fact that I was so disappointed with its erasability, the eraser tip to me is useless. Besides, my usual way of erasing is not turning the pencil upside down and having the sharp point towards my face.

So, I kinda...deformed it.
I get this idea to transform the rubber tip into various basic shape rubber stamp! Eraser is made of rubber, it definitely could be a stamp.

So far, I have cut half of them with basic geometry shape. I have to admit, I was not that good in using knife, still... I am getting the hang of it. I totally ruined the square and star... which could masquerade well as an asterisk. XD  

Now I am searching for more shapes to carve into the rest of the pencils.

Note : I don't have a stamp pad, so I was using watercolor just to stamp out the shape on paper.
