Raya with The Twins

Made with Photoshop and pictures from the internet. The end product! I had trouble finding a picture of myself to make it look like as if I was actually interacting with Upin & Ipin. So since I only had pics of me posing at the camera, I thought 'Well, why not?'. Instead of troubling myself digging through all pictures of me from the past, I took one from the more recent ones and changed from Upin & Ipin with their hands crossed on a table to them posing at the camera as well. Problem solved! I'm really proud of how this turned out. I hope you guys like it too! Salam Maulidur Rasul to all!

Bad Typo(graphy)

Most of us don't actually take typography seriously when designing posters, banners, flyers or even signboards so long as we think it looks cool or nice. As a result, you can find bad typo almost everywhere. Examples of Bad Typo As you can see in the picture above, the sign is about prioritizing our safety first. At first glance, you might not have noticed anything wrong with; except when you try to look at it from far away. Looking closely, only the words 'UTAMAKAN' was made the biggest from the rest while the word 'KESELAMATAN' was put below 'UTAMAKAN' and made smaller than half of the size of the word above it. The sign is about 'safety first', so they should have made both 'UTAMAKAN' and 'KESELAMATAN' the same size. In this picture, I would like to focus on how they emphasize the words. They used fancy fonts for the words 'Du'a' and 'OF SUCCESS' to highlight these two from the quote. However,

The Best Poster with All Six Elements

There are six elements of design that must be accounted for when designing posters, flyers, banners, etc. Those elements are line, shape, size, color, value, and texture. The Best That I've Found A poster advertising On-Site Painting at Casco   Histórico La Serena Line Only a single line was used in this poster; dividing the different categories and the description for each categories at the bottom of the poster. The line makes the words look more orderly and neat, helping any onlookers to read the information with less difficulty. Shape The shapes used in this poster are plenty. From the obvious large paint stroke to the little windows and doors of the building that consists of squares and rectangles and the thin rectangles that line the sidewalk. Size The large paint stroke takes up almost half of the poster. The text beside it is in big font to indicate that it is the most crucial information from the poster. At the top left of the poster is a

Award-Winning Movie Posters | Local & International

A good movie poster is one that catches the eyes of people, grabs their interest and encourages them to watch the movie. A great movie poster is the unique and creative ways the poster is made to grab people's attention. Best Local Movie Poster Upin & Ipin Keris Siamang Tunggal (2019) Teaser Poster This particular poster of Les' Copaque's latest Upin & Ipin movie instantly grabbed my attention. Looking at it, you can see that the focus of this poster is obviously the kris. The eyes on the handle glows an eerie blue, giving it away to the people that this kris is no ordinary kris. In fact, the way they did the lighting for this poster makes the kris look mysterious and magical. From then on, we can tell that this movie will have an element of fantasy in it. The next thing you'll notice is the title below the magical kris. With the dark background on the bottom half of the poster, the title is able to stand out and glow. The same goes with the word

Malaysia's Worst and Best Logos

Creating a logo for a company or a brand is always a challenge, especially since you want to make sure the meaning behind your logo is delivered to the consumers. Moreover, you would need to ensure that the logo is unique and that people are able to differentiate it from all the other logos that can be found around the world. There is no such thing as "the perfect logo" ; only good ones or bad ones. The same goes for Malaysian companies and products. There are good ones and bad ones. The question is; which Malaysian product has the worst logo? And which has the best? In this post, I will share with you about which logo I think is the worst and which is the best. The Worst Logo Take a good look at the picture below. A picture of the old Dairy Champ logo. Why do I consider this the worst logo? Because this logo looks lazy to me. They simply typed out their brand name Dairy Champ, all in red, tilted it a little, and simply put in on top of a trophy. At least

Are Zebras Black with White Stripes or White with Black Stripes?

Picture from  https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra What I think? They are white with black stripes, and here's why: The Pattern At first glance, you probably wouldn't notice, but most zebras have white underbellies and white inner thighs. All the white stripes you see on a zebra would come together at these two parts of the zebra's body, making them all connected to one another. However, all the black stripes on a zebra aren't connected together like the white stripes. This to me, makes me see zebras as white mammals with black stripes instead of the other way around. Painting When it comes to painting, do you paint white first or black? Painting white over black is a hassle. Since black is more prominent than white, your painting would always turn out grey; unless you paint the white over black repeatedly of course. But even then, the outcome is not all that satisfying. It is easier to paint black over white. Hence, you paint white first. This is why,
