ManMeng's Lifepad

[Inspiration] Ken Foo

Ken Foo
A pretty twisted illustrator from Singapore. I actually fond of this kind of daring work. A very strong statement from his illustration. But of course, not everyone can accept that.

Thanks henry.

[Inspiration] Surreal Works

Ryohei Hase
The illustrations produced by this artist is so vivid that it looks almost unreal.

The original Microsoft family.
Really a piece of nostalgic article about how all of them came together as Microsoft employee and 23 years after that.

Vote For Hope – MC Yogi
Thought it’s tad bit old, but serves as a good reference for motion graphics designer looking into incorporating speech/lyrics as part of their work.

So Many A Seconds
Though there might be tons of infographics (information visualisation) in the form of graphics design, it’s pretty rare to see it presented interactively. However this is a nice depiction of information from World-o-meters. And there’s even an updated statistics on Swine Flu death!

Geocoding with RSS / Papervision3D
This got me started in geocoding for some of my experiment using both geolocation and papervision. Demo is at : Globe.  (I think the geo location thing screwed up somewhere)

Time To Go
A great piece composed by one of my old friend back in the Counter Strike age. Some commentary from himself :

I wrote this song after bringing a very close and loved friend to the airport. The song makes me think about the heavy ticking of a clock. With every tick you realise that time is running shorter and shorter. When you dont think about it, time moves faster then the speed of light, but when you are counting the minutes, the ticking gets heavier and heavier. Take care little sis.

Infinite Oz – Tinman
Perhaps I would consider this site as one of the most understated one since its release on the interweb, though there’s lot of hoo hah but it did not last long. The images from the site still lingers in my mind clearly. Really beautiful artwork and amazing actionscripting feat (At that time itself). Enjoy the infinity loop.

Grafikas- Drew Europeo
Another amazing illustrator. Vivid design palletes and grungy street styles.

I Am Human Now
In need to skin your mac?

Mondialito
Though it might appear weird for me to like this kind of music, but it first occured to me in Taiwan when I browsing through some musics and I found this is a piece of…music I like?

[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.

Making soap with Just Life™ Malaysia

It might be come to me as a surprise that I still had these pictures down inside my hard disk, which I was supposed to share this experience out 1 year ago after the trip. In case you are wondering, throughout the enjoy of this journey, is to make an organic soap! Which of course some of you might already seen the end outcome, The Sabun Flower. The entire process of molding and shaping the soap is available for read on this page.

The end product. That are supposed to be placed on the Just Life shop in Ikano Power Centre, PJ for a short period of time to promote their products to the consumers.
