My business card or something like that

Unlike my knitting blog which is updated every once a week, this blog is rarely updated.
The thing is, I could make knitted/ crocheted project with less responsibility than when I was making graphic design.
the creativity process were basically the same, they were all began with sketches,
I'm thinking seriously too when I was designing my crocheted toy.
I could knit/crochet while watching TV but I can't make animation/ illustration while doing something else.

ah... I made too many excuses.
so for the monthly update, I'm showing you my real business card.

it has my real name and my blog addresses on it.  Enough for me.
I don't think it would be necessary to have my phone number, I'm really bad at answering the phone :p

I'm not a minimalist designer, I'm a lazy one.
the large white area is meant for it's second function, which is as a label tag for my crocheted toys.
just punch a hole at the top of it and it's done. a Label Tag :)

Okay.. I'm a lazy and stingy designer.
by the way "karya dessy TAB" means created by dessy TAB.

I'm using "karya" instead of "created by" because I'm an  Indonesian Designer :)

Happy Lebaran

So next week is the Lebaran Holiday for the my Dad and all the moslems,
for me it's a Vacation! Yay!
by the way, I just remember, I made this e-card for my friends
It was from my archive,
feel free to send it to your friend :)

Oh.. and Happy Lebaran for you
I'm not celebrating Lebaran, but please forgive me if I do made mistakes :)

OrangUtan dari Hutan Hujan

"Orangutans are endangered because of rain forest deforestation,
what if rain forest were endangered because there are no orangutans anymore?"

click here to watch OrangUtan dari Hutan Hujan

So here is my latest animation
the orangutanku dolls were based on the orangutan in this animation,
while the orangutan character was based on my nephew (don't tell his mom!)
The text is in Bahasa Indonesia, I'm too lazy to change it's language
more or less it tells about the rain forest and of course the orangutan.
what will the children imagined about the rain forest if there is no rain forest anymore?

The BGM was made by me last year for another animation (but I never finish it).

OOPS I DID IT AGAIN AGAIN!

I was planning on sharing my newest animation, but postponed because I missed something
typo problems...
It was not a new thing, I did similar mistake in my past  animation project.
it should be "let's plant a tree..." instead of "let's plan a tree"
I thought it was normal, since English is not my language.
Now the problem is, my newest animation using Bahasa Indonesia, and yes I did it again!

No, I won't share you the unrevised version :p
Not after I saw another mistake, not in my animations, but at this blog.
check the banner, you'll know what I meant.

I mistype my own blog address....... OOPS I DID IT AGAIN AGAIN!

Orangutanku packaging

When I started the OrangUtanku project, I spent weeks, even month just for the packaging design.
I want to make them special, exclusive, cheap, and simple.
Boxes are cheap, so I was thinking of using designed boxes. (I'm a designer, I could design it, right?)
But, I HATE MAKING BOXES
I'm a person who can't cut straight
The other alternative was using plastic boxes which are available in certain store.
Cheap and Simple, no sweat. But it's wrong.
It didn't go along with the mission to save the orangutan.

So.... maybe the orangutan helped me, because suddenly I got the idea of using pouch.
The problem was I can't sew... (yeah, I can't cut and sew in straight lines)
So my dearest mother helped me (Merci, Maman <3)
She bought the fabric, cut it and sew it (and put some embroidery on it)
All I did was give some brief and make a tiny thank you tags.
isn't it cute?

of course for shipment I wrapped it again in a box, and the box was also special.
I thought it was brilliant (no, it was silly actually), I would share the tutorial for the box soon ;)


PS: the doll in the picture is Ginanjar, he still need a new home :)

My Name Card

Finally! I have a name card!
Nope, not a business card, only a name card.
No titles because titles don't give me the right definition.
I'm a designer, maybe an animator or something else,
but I don't think people would likely give a call only by looking at my titles.
I must be lucky if they do call me, but I'm not sure that I would be happy.
They wouldn't know what they are buying, if they didn't see my portfolio.

So here's my name card design.
I already print some on Java paper.
of course the real number and email address are in the printed version.
Plain but it's enough for now.

Fake F.A.Q #4

thanks, caffeine ;)

From the last year's archive

How could I forgot this project?
But yes, I did :(

I made this project last year for my picture book.
the picture book was never been published because it was for a competition, and I didn't win :(

I saved all the illustrations in my flash disk, and the flash disk was borrowed by my Dad for almost 6 months.
Yup, I did forgot about the flash disk too.
few days ago I just suddenly remember about Budi, the boy in the story.
My bad.. really my bad :(

it's (still) May!

I just checking my own blog, then realized I haven't update this blog for a month!
My bad...

Telling you about what I have made without showing anything is just lame.
I knew :(

SO... I won't tell you anything now :D

That's it for my May blog post *giggles*

Fake F.A.Q #3

Can't stop making this fake F.A.Q even tough nobody interested (sigh)
it is an unnecessary blog right? So I'll keep posting unnecessary things for you

Fake F.A.Q #2

I got spare time (not really, just too depressed to finish my work)
so I made another F.A.Q. it is because someone said, a real people who creates original work should be proud using their name.
yeah, just in case you really want to know who made this blog

Guide: How do you get an idea?

Unnecessary guide, since the truth behind this guide is not guaranteed.
remember, it's me who made it :D
Unnecessary post, because I've post it in my knitting blog too.
I do this re-post because it is an unnecessary guide, and this blog is for my many unnecessary things.

click on the image to go read the guide, I've warned you, once again, it is an unnecessary guide.

Fake F.A.Q

Nobody asked me anything yet, but I have time to answer the not yet asked questions.
I do this a lot, actually, having an imaginary interview, pretending that I'm famous :D

a memoir of the wonderful dog, Ibey

Finally they announced the winners.
I knew I'm not one of them, it's okay.
I made the animation to make a contribution for the Citizens For Global Solutions Multimedia 2009 Contest.
The prizes are tempting, but it's not the main reason I am joining the contest.
Even a person like me, cares a little bit about their causes (global problems).
But the main reason I made the animation is to make a memoir about my beloved dog, Ibey (spelled like ebay).
She died at October 17th 2009. (I made the animation about a week after that)
She was blind and old but everybody love her.
I have many other dogs, but she was the special one.
I've got many inspiration from her. (I've made an amigurumi version of her too)
this time I make an animation with her as the main character.

(click on the picture to watch the animation on my DA)

So the animation title is "Boo & Bey's ways to save the world".
Boo is the Boy, and Bey is Ibey the dog.
Like you may have guessed, it is a go green related theme.
As the contest rule, it is a choose-your-own-story animation.
Hopefully they will show you ways to save the "world".
It doesn't have to be the smartest way, but at least they try :D

By the way, I've made Boo amigurumi version too!

keep the drum rolling a little bit longer...

I was planning on making a new post today. Yes, I do make a new post now.
Not exactly like what I was planning to post.
It was not going to be a "happy" post, but I was looking forward to the bright side.
Now I'm not sure there was going to be a bright side there.
on my twitter, I said, "I've prepared for my waterproof mascara, and silk handkerchief...."
(it's a metaphors anyway)
well sucks, nothing bad really happened.
Wait a minute! nothing bad really happened, could means a good thing!
But there still a big possibility that those bad thing will happening soon or later.
Oh please put me out of miserable!

however....this is my newest profile picture.
Yes, I've already put this picture since last week on my profile and my twitter.
And talking 'bout twitter, I won't say "please", but you may follow me :D
My twitter is not interesting compare to another designer, some people who knew that I'm a designer expect me to be crazy, but I'm not. So I've warned you.

See Ya...

The Angkot

Again, I am very busy this month that I haven't got something new to be posted here.
actually I have one... but I have to keep it as a secret for now. Don't worry, I'll post it here sooner or later.
So, let me share you my long time ago animation: The Angkot.
I made this animation for Nonzetflash animation contest.
I didn't win, but I kinda proud of this animation, for this is my first animation which use my originally-made BGM.
The BGM title is Nyoi, to be exact Nyoi two. Because I thought the sound I'm using is sounded like "Nyoi-Nyoi". (Nyoi has no meanings at all, in case you are wondering)
I'm still learning to make a better BGM, I am nothing compared to those cool sound engineers :D

you may watch the animation from my DA here

odosketch

Just found out about odosketch few days ago.
I think I'm in love with this online application <3

How to make bird origami

I almost forget the main reason I made this blog. Like the tag line in my banner, this is used to be a unnecessary blog with a lot of unnecessary guide. So here is my newest unnecessary guide, I hope there will be more to come :D

flash back

I'm a person who look at the past.
I don't have anything to post yet. It's a new month, I think I need to update my blog. Since this blog is not dedicated for my blah-blah-blah things, I think I'd rather publish my past animation.

check this out

I made this animation in 2007, for a competition, held by a University. I won the second place. The theme was product promo, and I chose microwave popcorn for my theme.

Well I won't write or talk about my animation's concept. I already did that nervously during the presentation for the competition. instead, I will tell you about the microwave popcorn literally.

That time I was craving for microwave popcorn so bad. Microwave popcorn are expensive, and I was barely survive my college days by my allowance only. (yeah, I didn't pay my college fees, but a college girl need a lot of things right?)

So the first thing I bought with the prize money was Microwave Popcorn with caramel. It was the very best microwave popcorn caramel I ever eat. Bought a microwave popcorn by making animation about microwave popcorn :D

comic strip

I've wrote about my comic strip last year, well, here's the second part. Click the picture for a better view.
there's no 3rd or 4th etc tough :(

and by the way the first picture was the artwork for the comic. Right to left :Squiddy, Callypso, Picasso
well the Picasso appearance is kinda changing
