One project of Graphic Design course-compounding opera, sports star and bus poster.
And I choose an opera "Un Ballo In Maschera" and my favorite tennis player, Maria Sharapova.


Playing effects

I used Photoshop(a painting software) to play some effects and found joys!

──La Mélodie d'Hélène──


This is a movie that I have seen a week ago with Fish. I don't know why it is called by Latin but it doesn't matter. It's a significant story about friends' love, betrayal and trust.

Lo Ning( Su Huilun adorns), girl student of department of music growing up in the single-parent family, the shade that father leaves home in childhood, she is compensated only from Xiao Bang's piano music. Xiao Chin( Wu LiQi adorns), close friend of Lo Ning, being frank, personality wanders up and down in dare on the love of same sex that brings the matter up. Li Hao(Lin Yo Way adorns), a silly and foolish boy student of department of physics, is good at close waiting. During their tender youth years, three young people explore the boundary line of the love and friendship.
Until, a musician, Mr. Daniel from France appeared, their worlds are all changed. At first, Lo Ning saved the alcoholic Daniel and his irritable attitude made her annoyed. When she was attracted by him, not knowing Xaio Chin and Li Hao’s hearts. Again and again, the four people hurt each other. In the end, Daniel went back to France and the three friends to the origin.

People all have engraved memories. To me, back talking in junior, indulging in volleyball and comics in senior, falling in love with Shin in reexamination and attending singing competitions in university were wonderful processes in my life. Well, the movie "La Mélodie d'Hélène" recalled something of mine.

When I was a pure child in junior high, my "friend" laughed at my long face as a horse with other classmates. I was indeed harmed by her and couldn't believe that why she could ridicule me. At that time, I had tasted a kind of abstract feeling called "betrayal". Choosing love and abandoning friendship in this movie may be the right betrayal.

On the other hand, when Lo Ning continually searched and seeked the past of Daniel, I think that the cleverest and rationalist person makes the clumsy ignorance in front of the favorite. I'm not the wise but the fool. The more one plunges in, the more one seizes the favorite's heart. Surely, the injure is hard to disappear and often dull painful. Sometimes, I can tell me that love is not essential but no use. I am still eager to have a dependance.

So what? Just endless sighs......

About Florrie

My name is Florrie, born in Taipei, growing in Taoyuan, has a normal but serious Family. Under my teacher mother's discipline, I was a diligent, talented and well-behaved girl in my childhood. Dancing as ballet, musical instruments as piano, cello and flute and typing rapidly on computer were not difficult for me. Surely, I got pretty good grades at school before senior high. To be a useful person, my mother took the high-handed method to train and teach me. As a result, my childhood was filled with fear, complaint and restlessness. I was unhappy!

On attending the highest senior high of Taoyuan, I started indulging in reading comics and novels and playing volleyball hopelessly. My grades went from bad to worse obviously. Undoubtedly, I failed the important final examination and had no goal to accomplish because of this rebellious action against my parents. Afterwards, I went to a cram school to prepare reexamination, encouraging myself and finding my way in the future. I gradually knew it was my interest which was similar to "design" to make something by hand.

Now, I’m working hard and feeling tired in industrial design. I can’t specifically describe what I have learned but have got rid of that hopeless and foolish girl. Well, thanks to my parents, those talents help me to think unrestrainedly and vigorously. In addition, those special friends, God has prepared in CGU for me, constantly make me feel sweet, touched and delightful! I really appreciate them. Thank their tolerance for me! I enjoy and love in our ID99!

Gratification

The spotted deer Cloth
National flower Tattoo
Ankle sock



Today is the second presentation of Traditional Paper Cutting. Eleanor wants us to show some delicate sketches this
week.


As a matter of fact, I had sat in front of my computer for 11 hours, sleeping at five o'clock in the morning. Expect for searching more complete research, I had started to design the pattern by Illustrator. At first, the works were so huge so I was at my wit's end! My direct senior told me to skim over a website called "dafont" which has a lot of fonts of special and beautiful patterns. Then, I downloaded those what I want and used them to beset a spotted deer cloth with national flowers. I traced and carved different patterns and composed them. My eyes were swollen and uncomfortable and my body was likely to go from bad to worse. After drawing, I prepared the spoken note to remind what I must say the next day.

I dragged my tired body and drowsy head to my classroom. Many classmates didn't sleep well, too. I just thought I'd like to free myself as soon as possible and rest temporately. So I volunteered to present my final ideas and Illustrator works. Although I didn't know what grade I got, Eleanor saw my efforts on this project. I felt gratified!

Now I have to search and buy appropriate material like foam and find the better factory to lase my items. I'm probable to spend huge money...>"<
