"U-turn me on" T-shirt Design

The concept just popped out of my mind while I was traveling along the length of commonwealth avenue, riding a commuter FX. Long travel time really lets your crazy mind and wild ideas flow. Halfway of finishing this design, the software I'm using crashed. Just great. Fortunately, I am in a good mood and still motivated to begin another attempt and finish it during the outflow of my creativity orgasms. And there you go! I hope you'll like it and make me rich someday :)

Defiance

Defying the Gods simply means discontentment.
A God is a Supreme Being. There are no other that is far greater than the omnipotence of a God. Aiming to surpass God is humanely unreachable, no creature exceeds its creator. Yet, this arbitrary fact can serve as the fuel to strive harder and harder, farther and farther, unleashing one's potential up to its fullest capacity or better yet extend it.

The boundaries of Aspiration is as far as what can be grasped or what can be known, hence, it is completely unnecessary to put a lesser limit on it. Thus, a great sense of fulfillment can be felt because it is realized in self that all the best was given out without holding back.

However, one must consider also the way of acquiring own's ambition. It is not all about the goal alone. It is also important that while getting into the destination, the journey itself is appreciated. So wherever the adventure stops, fate is happily accepted, rewarded with self-fulfillment.

Gray Man

"A Gray man is one who experienced the depth of loneliness and the height of happiness." -- This is a statement I heard from my professor who was also a practicing lawyer which bestowed him the everlasting impression of his legendary literary professor and a flat 1.0 in his report card for two semesters. He answered it not with rationalization but by using resourcefulness as he have heard it while walking on the corridor from the babbling students who belong to his professor's prior class.

Two colossal figures, the storyteller and his professor who was included in the story motivates me to wonder about the gray man. Why is it called as it is? Why is it named like that? Where is its derivation? The answer is... color primarily, but among the shades and hues why is it the one used as metaphor. Having that very powerful description, Why is it represented by an unattractive chrome?

And here's the product of my reflection.. (which maybe called also as realization)

Gray is a color. As dull as it looks but it is the product of two chroma, the Black and the White. These two chroma are the extremes of all colors, white being the purest and black as the darkest.

So, it would take one to experience the extremes of life to become a Gray man.
Might be the reason why this color is not favored frequently because being a gray man is truly extraordinary and it would took a deep sense of understanding to appreciate this color.

Rector's Report staffer ID Design

I was commissioned in an ambush moments after just finishing a job earlier. My superior suddenly called at my mobile phone and order me to made a design for the upcoming Rector's Report. Unexpectedly, I have finished it with less than two hours including the conceptualization and surprisingly it resulted in an awesome output. I was Orgasmicly fulfilled with this assignment.

ThomasianNewsBites(TNB) Logo Study

After joining TOMCAT(Tomasian Cable Television), a recognized university-wide student organization under the Educational Technology Center and the closed-circuit cable television network of the University of Santo Tomas, where I'm studying, I was commissioned by my superior to make a logo study with 5 different designs for the running program Thomasian News Bites(TNB). And Here's my first attempt:[click on the image to enlarge]




Subsequent by the time it has been checked and reviewed, my superior likes design 2 and 4 and suggested to me to merge the two. And here's the result when I've got it fused, check it out!



My superior was very pleased with my revision and just days after, the logo was used for the program. Felt great! I considered this as a productive achievement!
Thomasian News Bites is the premier news and current affairs program shown in the whole university. It is aired weekdays during lunch time at 12 noon. Tune in and don't be hesitant to shout "Gawa ni Eros 'yan ha!" when you see the logo. \m/

SM Supermarket Banners

What you see above was a task given to me during my internship at SLG ad agency last summer. Our client, SM Supermarket, is celebrating their 25th Anniversary. I was given an order to made a layout of their promo banners starting from scratch. Guided only by the client's instructions, and after an extensive Google image searches.. Wala! I was able to come up with these three designs. So if you've seen any of these banners at any SM Supermarket branch nationwide, don't hesitate to shout "Gawa ni Eros 'yan ha!".

Top Spin

My proposed design for our agency in our Integrated Marketing Communications Class.
I still got a little hung over of Alcohol while i'm making this but not in a painful headache, maybe an aftershock of an under the influence person's mental condition. Oh well I'll just revise the description when I'm back to normal.

Have a nice day !

Asembol!

Your everyday appliances volt together and united as one
that embodies a robotic framework. Your common tools for household chores consolidated to save the universe from slothful endeavor.

Kids and Moms, Lolos and Lolas, Tiyahins and Ninangs, worry no more. Narito na ang tagapagtanggol ng sanlibutan sa buong kalawakan. Ang kilabot ng mga Gundam. Handang sumaklolo sa oras na tulog na ang mga tanod. Kaso wala pa siyang pangalan kaya hindi makapanawagan ang mga nangangailangan. Tulungan natin siyang mag-isip ng kanyang pangalan upang masimulan niya na ang kanyang misyon sa lalong madaling panahon. :-)


Framework assembled!

Kira is Real !

A test of my freshly installed software Adobe Premiere CS4, which its serial code I just cracked recently (Muahahaha pwede na 'kong maging swindler). Featuring my own voice. The audio is a requirement in our radio prod class, and I became too overwhelmed of what I've done that's why I made a video out of it. Enjoy whoever you are who can relate watching. :-)

Sokbu sa sariwang software na kaiinstall ko lang. Matagumpay ako sa pag-crack ng serial code nito, pwede na kong maging manggagancho kaya mag-iingat kayo Muhahahaha!
Tampok ang sarili kong boses. Project kasi namin sa radio prod yung audio, Masyado lang ako natuwa kaya ginawan ko ng video. Enjoy kung sino ka mang nakakasakay dito! :-)

Iba na ang pagsibol ng bulaklak ngayon

Akala ko dati, mga lalaki lang ang nagbibigay
ng bulaklak sa mga kababaihan subalit
kahapon nakatanggap ako ng ganito.
Iyon 'ata ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon sa buong buhay ko.
Nakakatuwa naman pero
mas maa-appreciate ko sana
kung personal na iniabot at nagpakilala,
hindi ko tuloy alam kung sino ang dapat pasalamatan.

The Fear of Death

How I wish I would die.
I want to cross the boundaries between life and death. I want to gain the knowledge that dead people have which the alive ones are ignorant of. I want to wander to a place which is widely-known as another dimension. I want to uncover the mystery behind and answer the question "what lies ahead?". But there is one definite consequence regarding death, and that is, there is no turning back. No more second chances to life. A touch- move decision which I would take a risk for the sole reason of enlightenment.
Many are afraid to die but I am one of those few that are not. What I fear is the suffering before totally committing it. I do not like enduring pain at all. If it would be an instant death, I would happily accept. However, maybe, that suffering is a form of punishment and everyone must undergo that stage to repent from all mistakes.--- Before achieving tranquility, one must face a great trial in life.
There are reasons why death is feared by the majority and one is discontentment. People are unsatisfied and yet to achieve their ultimate desires. They cannot afford to leave this world unaccomplished of their activities.
Another is the Embracement to materialism. This attachment to material possessions obstructs liberation from temporality. Next is the Fear of the unknown. Uncertainty of subsequent happening brings unsecuredness.

Cactus

My sister asked me a favor to help with(actually to do) her assignment in their computer subject on executing flash animation. Lucky of her I was also finding an excuse to escape reviewing for our preliminary exams. What you saw above is the outcome. One of my early attempts in flash animation. :-)

Marielle

Venturing lady who was full of initiative
You have risked chance with less probability
Yet it was not in vain.
Revive my heart that was stored for ages
Resurrect the forgotten feeling.

Your intense expression has captured my affection
The touch of hands secured my emotion
and calmed my worrying.
Embrace me like you'll never let go.
I'll be happy enclosed within.

Beside you I will stay
Follow you where you take me,
I will never move away
For our endless unity.

Adidas Urban Footwear

My self-made adidas print ad. This was shot using a Nokia express music mobilephone camera during a walk in our own street. Only a few adjustments on the tone and contrast was made then I patch up the logo and added the caption.

Trivia:
Here in our country, the Philippines, not a single part of a chicken is wasted nor put into trash except its bones. The chicken's whole anatomy is simply irresistable to every Pinoy's appetite. Even its head/neck and its feet was not given pardon by their stomachs. And the best way to prepare the two is through the cooking method of grilling. The grilled chicken feet is called adidas, coined from adidas' sportswear original logo, both resembles similar shape.

This is a take home christmas vacation project in our Advertising class.
It was a lot of fun. Finished by merely just few hours in the afternoon with a ghetto set-up, using only a netbook built-in microphone as our recording instrument and Audacity (audio-editing software) as our polishing companion. Nice working with Erwin who have just climbed down a mountain recently before new year's eve. A joyful production to start the year.
