Design 02: Leather and Laces

I was reading my first copy of Preview magazine (September 2014) when I was inspired to design a piece. The photos on the runway where the designers made use of laces made me want to pick up my sketchbook and coloring materials to create my version.

I wanted to design something that would stand out so I used the color black because for me somehow the color brings this strong aura especially if leather is used. It took me days to design these since I was busy studying and working in the past few weeks. I don't force myself to design anything. Inspiration can be found anywhere so I keep my sketchbook and art materials ready just in case inspiration comes knocking. ^_^

Here's what I have designed. :)

Experience Thailand

Imahe
November 2017. Our flight to Thailand was my first ever early flight as I've always preferred to travel in the evening so I can enjoy the city lights and see how beautiful places are. We opted to have the early flight so we can have more time to tour around the country as soon as we arrive. Airbnb was helpful for this international flight as we were able to book in Sutee's place in a convenient and affordable way. Fortunately, the staffs whom we met at his place were Filipinos and they also speak Cebuano.😊 So it was easy to communicate and get instructions to where we were going since we didn't purchase a simcard. 😁✌️ I even had the time to watch Produce 101. ❤️ (At the lobby 😊) On our first day, we spent time in Siam. Since it was a hot sunny day in November, we opted to stay inside the malls and shop.  It's best to wear a cap, sunnies and use an umbrella for this kind of day as it was also humid.  Shopping at MBK Center was afforda...

Thinking Out Loud

Imahe
I am writing this blog while listening to the song entitled, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. I don't know why I've played it for like 5 times now and I can't help but listen to the message of the song and think about the music video. I don't know what to write about as writing a new year's resolution is just too mainstream. I was planning to write about my year but I guess it's just too boring. So, I think I'd share to you the things that I am thankful for and the things that I am planning to do for the coming year. Everyday I wake up at 5:30 am to prepare for my day of school and work. 6 times a week I have to go out and do my share of work in this world. You may probably ask me why and how I'd manage to work and study at the same time. Well, here's my answer: PURPOSE. I have a purpose to fulfill. I wish to work to develop my skills so that someday I'll achieve my hopes and dreams of becoming a successful individual i...

Designer: Cary Santiago

Imahe
I purchase the Preview Magazine monthly ever since September for a lot of reasons and the corner where they talk about influential designers is my most favorite part. Not only is it inspirational for aspiring designers but it motivates us to be better because we have people to look up to.  I knew about the designer Cary Santiago because of the article in the magazine. Reading it moved me to pursue this passion that I am beginning to love. The article together with the photos of the designer's work made me think about what the industry would be like if I'd choose to pursue it seriously someday like being able to build my name in the industry. So when I was talking to my boss the other day and mentioned the name of the designer, she handed me an invitation card to the opening of this event but it was already around 5:30pm when it came up but I didn't want to lose the chance of seeing the work I admired so much when I saw it in the magazine. I was so thrilled to know ...
