[Inspiration] Myriad of Explosive Visuals

Alberto Seveso
Perhaps one of the great illustrator of all time I have ever seen. Pretty inventive and genius in its own sense.

Tilt Viewer
If my memory serve me well, I strongly believes that this is one of the early 3D application built in Flash that revolutionize the  way we view pictures in websites, even way before CoolIris became uncool (those were the days cooliris were known as PicLens).

No More Kings
It might have been a while, but this is a cute site that brings you around different section in a pseudo-3D manner. The songs are cool though.

While some of you might be interested in looking for more resources on 3D in flash. You can try out fFiles.

[Inspiration] Bleeding Visuals

Make Visual

Perhaps this is one of my favorite studio that inspires me in their fine details of their motion graphics.

The Toke
The birth of a hybrid designer/developer. The site itself is a good mix of motion graphics, actionscript and cutting edge futuristic flash portfolio website. Definitely worth a visit.

[Life] Bringing Up Memories

I was digging up old drafts on my blog and realized there’s bunch of them went unpublished due to my procrastination. But I’m also suprised that I didn’t remember taking these pictures back then. Some of them might dated 2 years back.

I got this really tasty Choya Umeshu drink from Tsuqi for my birthday. Really yummy drink that would keep you awake from a dreary day. It has a bit of alcohol inside but it’s definitely would make you feel good after a few sip. Do not gulp on it, please.

The above are the last remnants of my w850i, before I sold it off at R.M.650 previously. Took an almost 1 hour discussion with the buyer that insisting on reducing the price by R.M.10. Damn that’s a real trouble back then.

Mont-Kiara! I had no idea what I was doing there at that time.

Bye my love!

One of the few last look from my beloved iPhone. Had it for approximately 2 month before selling it off.

Everything’s are in perfect condition except had some scratches from dropping it to the floor.

Sigh.

Christmas of 2007?

This is during the Christmas eve in Malaysia where tuckloong and Oh and Ah friends were having their first flee market held in Mont Kiara.

And so the place is pretty cozy and lively during the weekend, unless during weekdays there’s not much of people except working dudes. And that was a 2 year back. Time sure flies!

[Tips] How to convert Degress to Radians :)

function radians(i:int):Number
{
return Math.PI/180*i;
}

Pretty neat formula that you can reuse in absolutely everywhere. Anyway, this is applicable in Actionscript 3.0.

[Inspiration] Uniqloism

UNIQLO : SHOW
My favorite apparel brand has never fail to amaze me again and again. Followed by their overly succesful Uniqlock campaign, I’m pretty sure some of us  wouldn’t mind to have all these beautiful dancers as screensavers, a great promotional tool and marketing idea from the agency itself.

UNIQLO : MARCH
Being only good looking people doesn’t mean that is the criteria to get into modelling, at least in the context of the site, you may end up being selected as one of the March-er and invited to Tokyo for the photo shooting session! What is most intriguing for me is that they literally launched the site during March 2009, which coincidently, is the name of the campaign, which depicts marching around with their cloths. Damn.

Update May 18, 2009 : Got a link from Eugene, thanks!

UNIQLO : Reborn
Over-ambitious expansion and over-reliance on one product nearly ruined Uniqlo, but now the Japanese retailer is back in fine style.
It’s a great insight on how the brand that seems to go downhill went back again over to the top.
