Doodle Dee Doodle Dum

I think doodle art is really interesting. Doodling on a piece of paper.. (or on the table x_x); It is something that we usually do whenever we feel bored no matter whether we're in class/in a meeting/during talks or even during exam! It can show our emotions or whatever we had in our mind at that time.


A crazily detailed doodle. The result is amazing even though he played only with lines. He must be really bored._.

But I prefer character doodles!:D It's adorable and we sometimes indirectly created our own character through our imagination.



Sleepy mode...

Doodle art that had turned into one's company identity. Even the walls in their building is filled with doodles!

Their stationary.



Doodle art might look simple and most people might think that anyone could do it since it is an impromptu drawing but it is harder than it looks... Only people with artistic skills can create a nicely well composed doodles:P

My dream house! I would love to own this kind of house. The interior is specially designed for cat lovers who are concerned about their pets' safety; their cats could have all the fun staying indoor without having the risk of being exposed to all kind of danger outdoor. Besides that the interior design looks so cozy and nice so I wouldn't mind staying in this type of house with a whole bunch of cats!


Cats are also naturally curious creature therefore it's great if we could provide them extra little place for them to explore and also places for them to hide. Plus they adore high places so that they can monitor their "kingdom" to ensure there are no threats invading their "kingdom". Furthermore this type of house is not only built with all those fancy features for cats but the materials used are pet-friendly materials which is harmless to pets and also resistant to scratches.




Not really liking the colors I prefer the previous one:))



The designers of these houses definitely did a good job on researching and I'm sure they are cat person too as they can understand cats' behavior so well and integrate it into their design.

Photoshopped photo..? No! This building looks like it is melting under the hot sun! It is called "The Crooked House" which is located in Sopot, Poland. Inspired by Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg's artworks, this building are designed by Szczepan and Małgorzata Szotyński, and the construction took about a year to be completed (from January 2003 to December 2003).

"The building with its character refers to fabulous drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg. Exterior elevation suits to very popular Monciak’s promenade style. The building with its floors refers to cornices and floors of neighbouring buildings. Colorful stained glass entrances, stone elevation decors and windows framed with sandstone make impression. There is also unusual roof covered with sheet metal with enamel roof tiles coloured with green shades, see blue and Parishian blue, which in the whole makes illusion of dragon scales.

The building was projected as three-storey object with service attic. Communication between three storey assure the lift and allowed staircase freely available. Passage from ground-floor to storey is available thanks to perfectly demonstrated range stairs. Passage from first-floor to second floor leads through reinforced stairs and from second floor to mezzanine through steel stairs which are covered whole by wood."

Unbelievable isn't it? At first I thought it was just some optical illusion photo but it's not. It's amazing how they can actually build a distorted yet stable type of building; something that usually can only be found in fairy tales. It somewhat reminds me to Salvador Dali's infamous painting; The Persistence of Memory (1931).

Another type of architecture that I found amusing is the up-side-down buildings.

Completed by a Polish businessman and philanthropist named Daniel Czapiewski in 2007.

This one doesn't look safe...

There is no doubt that creative workers like to challenge themselves..

branding

Brand: SKINFOOD
Category: Skincare/Cosmetics
This skincare brand is based on food for skin concept with the motto "good food for health is also good for the skin".

SkinFood uses an angel as their mascot; (which somehow looked like a cupid) as a metaphor that their brand will take care of our skin just like how a guardian angel will look after us.


This brand also uses a variety of warm colors and also pastel colors in their designs; packaging designs, shop concept, materials that are used for the packagings, which gives off a vintage vibe to it. The names given to their products are also creatively and deliciously named based on the main ingredient of the products' line for example Fresh Juice C Cream, for their Vitamin C based product line.

P/S: I do not use their skin care products. I'm just smitten by their whole clever design concept:) Other skincare brand that I think has a very strong design concept is Etude House.

navigational design

Navigational sign may exits in many different types, designs, and forms but it serves one purpose which is to guide us to certain area or places.

Sign at Streetmall

For a place like Alamanda Putrajaya, they had to put these signs in many different places as they have more than 1 entrance and the building is quite huge. The navigation signs provided by Alamanda is pretty straightforward. I followed the sign to the cinema and I managed to get to the right place without facing any difficulties. Even when i was a first-timer at the place, I didn't have too much trouble getting to the shops or to the washroom. Furthermore, the designs are okay. They surely can do better but it is far way nicer than some shopping complexes maybe because Alamanda is under KLCC...

Navigation sign to the washroom, parking lot, Parkson, etc
