What NOT to do when designing your website or advert.

1. Do not use CAPS for everything
Not only is it hard to read, readers will not know where to focus and lose interest

2. Do not cramp everything into one page/ small area
Too many information would only confuse the reader. It also gives out a messy & unprofessional vibe.

3. Do not use overly bright colors for everything
Forcing your readers to look for their sunglasses to read your contents is not the right way to go.

4. Do not make grammar or spelling mistakes
This is the fastest way for you to lose the trust of your potential customers, as this is one of the first input they will receive to form an opinion on the competency of your company.

5. Do not use copyrighted properties
You will risk being sued or worse, jailed. This will most probably be a bad reputation to your business, no?

The soul needs art, and the beauty of it.

Ever stood in front of a sunset and felt comforted by the magnificence of it?

Ever had your heart beat faster at the sight of a bloom of a beautiful flower?

Personally, I always have the urge to create something beautiful after that. To keep that feeling of awe & happiness inside me for as long as possible. Like a DRUG!

I love that I have the ability to actually make those creation! Whether it is photography, digital art or video graphics.

Right now I am doing mostly digital art (vector art) and photography. You can see in my “online art gallery” aka blog www.i-cant-sew.com

However, I also have a passion for motion graphics & love the way it can capture & mesmerize the attention of the now dulled senses.

A beautifully crafted video could show love, pain & create laughter.

I am now going to create some videos for the souls of the world and everyone who loves beautiful things.

Check out www.cherishmevideos.com for my latest video creations.

Something wonderful about art. You can HATE it and it is ok.

A good designer would want his work to be hated or loved as long as you do not feel indifferent about it. Once you feel nothing for a design, it is considered mediocre. It is a failure.

Passion is the key. Enhance your self-awareness & awareness to your surroundings!

So go ahead ahead and criticize. You are also giving the designer a compliment by taking notice of their work. All said, there is not need to be rude and self-righteous about your comments.

Kindness & professionalism is still important, else it is just childish tantrums.

Most of the time we allow ourselves to be dulled by bad ideas & horrible executions.

How many times we allow ourselves to sit through a terrible TV ad without having the urge to change the channel cos it has become “ok”? Malaysian TV ma.

Have you ever bought a painting or drawing you do not feel passionate about, just because you needed to fill up a wall in the living room? Feeling no love or hate for it. Everyone has this painting, so it must be good.

Ever walked into the shop pointed at the cheapest vase you see, and bought it? Regardless that it would make your room look like a “Made in China” store. Just because you do not care about “such things”.

You’ll be amaze at what you can observe and learn when you are actually looking at something with passion instead of just being obliging.

Allow yourself to be pulled into a debate, and enjoy it.

We are all designers in this world.

We all have the power to influence the space we occupy. Draw & innovate ideas to improve our lifestyle. We all LOVE and HATE with the passion of a human.

Know that you are a designer and know that you can evolve and improve. That may be the most powerful knowledge you will get for self improvement!

As the lifestyle we live in improves, so does our need for culture, art and design. We are evolving into a new breed of designers.

We now need creativity in everything we do, whether it is to COMMUNICATE, to ATTRACT, CREATE or even to ORGANIZE. We need creativity. Thus, design.

Design is the process of creativity. Creativity gives birth to design. You need both to achieve a masterpiece.

Ok.
Don’t get angry at me for putting this up.

I know this statement will set fire in many people, especially male designers.

But it is the truth.

I am not saying that a man cannot design for a woman’s desire (clothes, shoes & such) but a woman’s need. That,  is a different matter.

Imagine a guy designing sanitary pads or tampons.
I think that thought even freaks the men out.

And if anyone is going to bring up the subject of the creator of vibrators, Kelsey Stinner. He actually created the device to treat illnesses. So, no. That does not count.

The point of my subject is that, we are all designers in our own way. But we all have our own skills. Though designing & creativity has no limitations, we are still shaped by our upbringing, our culture & our own knowledge of how the world works.

Impaired by this restriction, we can only seek to improve ourselves by increasing our exposure & experience.

Traveling is a great way to do that. Imagine being in a different world of sound, sights and smell. How that would instantly heighten our senses and creativity!
Reading is another. Observing and absorbing another’s creativity is also a great way to improve your own. Much cheaper too. (Though Art magazines cost like a filthy bomb. RM50-60 per magazine!) Design books are quite affordable.
Surfing the internet, the wonderful tool that seem to be able to provide ANY knowledge to anyone seeking it. Allowing designers to broaden not only their skills, knowledge but also their expression methods.

There are of course many other ways we can improve ourselves. And that is what I tell myself, each time I go to an art gallery, a local play or just travel 200km to see a sunset, but truthfully, I think I just enjoy the beauty all these experiences hold.

I did not have an outlet for my own creativity before this, thinking that skill & career was all I needed. Until I started a blog of my own. I Can’t Sew.com

I have been pouring into my old sketches & realizing how I have been suppressing myself all these while.

With the existence of the internet, it is really not so hard.

So I have decided to help those people who want to be a designer.
Want to express themselves.
Want to make something the world can view & enjoy.

I am giving Photoshop Classes to the digital painters of today.
I am also giving Webmaster Courses to those who wants to create their own Digital Art Gallery.
All in affordable & promotion prices now.

New project.

Coming up soon.

A personal design blog.

Deco ideas, dress designs, photoshopped work.

Everything, except sewing. Not a single stitch will be posted on this blog.

This blog will be my outlet for a long suppressed desire. Fashion design, which I have always dream of pursuing. But never had the skills to do so.

Feel free to custom make a dress design you like from the blog, or print a wall art from the illustrations or even deco your house with my simple ideas.
As long as you do not try to sell the idea or pass it off as your own.
However, I will not be able to track you if you choose to do so. So please be ethical about it.

I did put up a private poll for voting on logo designs in Facebook before I decided on the one I am using now.
But since many have not seen the other designs, I am just going show you.

Some are really ugly! I kinda ran out of inspiration..
So bear with me.. Be kind, ya.
I tried to use maximum 3 colors (except black & white) to optimize for block printing in case I wanted it.
I was aiming for simple shapes & colors, might be boring to some,
but I feel it will be able to last longer, without getting out of date.
Plus its classier~!
