the Illustrator practice














In the beginning of our graphic design class, there was a homework which we had to practice using illustor to make 40 different patterns.

For the first time, I started with so many questions and confusion. Something really simple to others could be so complicated to me. But after all, I am glad I catch up through practice. With those hundreds different kinds of typefaces, is was really fun doing all these.

" Practice makes perfect, " I believe.

My comments on creativity

I want to talk something about he creativity. We would probably think of creativity connecting art, design, even music. Magazines which talk about creativity have filled up the bookstacks in all of the book stores. “Design of Design”, “Bathroom Design”, “Art Design”, and so on, the titles of the books would be countless. It is the age of creativity.

Nevertheless, creativity pigments all of our lives. It can’t be limited in specific subjects. With out creativity, we would not know the “big people” such as Bill, Beethoven, Einstein, even the magician David. In my opinion, the substance of creativiy is to “make something out of nothing”.

What? If creativity comes out of nothing, how could we train ourselves to be more creative? In fact, we could practice and simulate somthing we have known, then born the terminate product “creativity”. For example,we could disassemble all kind of locks in the whole world with making a study of their structures. Secondly, we can use our information to open all the locks of others with no bad intention. At last we can invent the most lock on the earth. That would be a great thing for all people.

We could read all kinds of novels with understanding the beauties and defects of different articles. We can then try to write out own novels; furthermore, we could even write a “thing” that cannot be categorized in any literary form, such as “funovel”!

Some English teacher would be more attentive than the others, they find out the best way for learning for students is to interact, so they go to foreign counties to simulate the type of teaching from the teachers. Amazingly, they can create a new program that does not lose the center “interact” but fits especially the students in Taiwan.

Now, we can aware how important that being creative is. Creativity could never be gifted for any genius. It is a sweet apple for men who have been well-prepared. The numerous amount of sweat is the only avenue for reaching the apple. When we have our own stuff that others can not tell what it is, we succeed!

The paper cutting project


Our basic design, paper cutting project has come closer to the end.


Through research, sketches, thinking, finding best material, computer mapping.Finally my product---a scarf has been done now.


Even though the result is a bit different from what I designed (Well, it really should be carved hollowed inside) when it was laser cutted out. But to see something from my brain become a real thing is still something really exciting.

A beautiful shot



One of my favorite photos of Sung Shan senior high school was a peaceful one. That moment has been framed in my mind since I took the shot.

The photo was taken during a in class period. For some reason, I was free for the class. When I waked pass the balcony on the third floor, I looked out. With praise and surprise, took this photo. Looking through the camera lens, the atmosphere was a total peace. The blue sky and our pinky school building. Some long liana drip down and was breathed in the air by wind. No one was on the corridors. Everything was beautiful and quiet except murmurs form classes.

At that moment, I had a serene feeling filled in my heart. And I was so proud of being a student of Sung Shan senior high school.
