Introducing "Eggie"!

Today, (instead of working on my project)
I randomly came up with these characters,
and while I was drawing them, Morgan, my friend asked me
if it was a some kind of "Eggie"!
I was quite surprised and wondered if Morgan
secretly knew how to speak Korean,
since Eggie, (or Aaggie) is a word used to call babies in Korean!
Of course, she meant that they looked like eggs
but why not name them "Eggie" since it perfectly fits the character :)

(and more!) we can do as a designer.
Although not all of them may specifically apply to graphic design,
there are some cool tips on how you can think
in a new way while being earth-friendly.

Postcard design final

These are my final 12 postcards that I designed for my Imaging class. I was to design each postcard according to the 12 random words that were given. Also, out of 12 postcards, half of them had to denotative and the other had to be connotative. Along with that, 4 of them had to be montage, collage and patterns. We did not had to have a specific theme for this project but I decided to have one to give my postcards a sense of unity. This year marks the 40th anniversary of celebrating the Earth day, and I thought this would be a perfect theme for my project since it'll allow me to design something that's creative while containing a meaningful message.

This is a website that contains bunch of amazing packaging designs

2) Plushism
