My First Personal Name Card - New Media, Motion Graphics Designer

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

As a designer who has been working for more than 5 years in the field, I have never had my personal name card. Of course, I used to have a couple of types business card from my previous employment. But they were not for my own personal representation and doesn’t convey my personal creative sense. After I release my 2creativism website, I thought that it would be nicer to have my business card to promote myself and have good starting point when I introduce myself to the people from outside.

The whole design took me around an hour and ordered the printing from Vista Printing with glossy options. I like shiny glossy reflection on the black paper that is the concept of my 2creativism website and conveys deep and rich feeling of my site design.

Hummer - Selector Ad

This is one of the coolest commercials I’ve ever seen. It gives the feel of a video game without going too far in that direction. The effects are inspiring.

I’d never buy a Hummer though, as awesome as this commercial is. I’m more of the eco-friendly type of driver. Did you hear the next generation of Prius will get 80mpg and have a more powerful engine!?

The movie’s getting lukewarm reviews, but the opening credits for The Kingdom function as an effective prologue to the film.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but this is yet another example of what I call “visual essays.” It’s all about re-contextualizing historical data in a dramatic light by leveraging the power of motion graphics. The result is a compelling argument, something that can be debated point by point, even as it entertains and informs its audience.
