THE RAINY SEASON
This is my final version for the assignment 3B in DIM2: making a cover for the book "THE RAINY SEASON" of H.P. Devoto. I have to take a photograph of a one-way street at night to show the mood of the content of the book as what I felt from the summary. Let's take a look and comment for it! Thanks!

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR DANCING COMPETITION
This is my recent design for the announcement of Dance Club. Actually, I intend to use the red and white theme at the beginning, but then I still use red, yellow and black to make the logo be illustrated smoothly. I have tried to work with a real photo, but it would not be very well represented in this announcement, and the shape of a couple dancing in this announcement is better after all. I have redesigned the color as well as the shape somehow to make it fixed into the space. Please give me any comment as you want. Thanks alot!

ILLUSION ART - Part 3
OCTAVIO OCAMPO
As Illusion Art has many types, this kind of fines art has attracted me since I was still in highschool. And one of the most typical artist that I admire is Octavio Ocampo. He comes from Mexico, and he was born in 1943 in a family of designers. As you can see in thte following masterpieces, his art is kinda weird, they give you the different thought in every other angle of seeing. Studying about these picture, you can easily admit that mr Octavio is really a talent with the "special eyes" to connect things together in a picture. Here I introduce you several art works of him:

Marlena


Mona Lisa's Chair


Nativity

Ecstasy of Lilies

Lady in Field of Lilies

These are just several of his masterpieces that I like most. You can read more about this artist as well as some other picture with more information in this webpage :

CHARITY LOTTERY POSTER

this is the poster that I have designed for the upcoming event : Charity Lottery. At the beginning, I intended to draw somthing using Illustrator. Then, I found that a real photo must be more persuasive, so I thought of the idea using the contrast to show the 2 mood of the orphan children. Therefore, I have to make a photo by myself in order to have right view rather than searching for photo on Google. It is hard to choose the color for the right side of the poster. I have tried with many different colors such as the blue for hope, or white only,etc. Finally, I choose Yellow to be my main theme on the right of the Poster because it would be more contrast to the Black on the left. Moreover, the Red in the middle might make the Poster more recognizable. This is just my own idea, there would a debate on which color is thet best for the theme for this poster. Please feel free to share me your idea on this design. Thank you very much!
