Reading through Behance's twitter posts, I stumbled across this website:

http://the99percent.com/

It's a website that focuses on design in business, and is based on the saying "Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration" said by Edison.

I cannot believe how helpful the tips section is, and hoping that I can start being more productive from taking up the advice. The article about perfectionism is probably the biggest eye opener. While I do believe in deadlines and always meet them when set infront of me, I work myself silly trying to clean up everything and lose focus on the big picture sometimes.

Long story short, a good website!

Extreme Origami

With my recent website theme change to origami and plants, I did some research into some interesting origami figures to use for my background, and I stumbled upon this beast. "Surely, this could not be a single sheet of paper!" I thought to myself, but sure enough it is. Taking 40 hours or so over several months, this pieces was done by Satoshi Kamiya.

Spy VS Pyro

Pure gold. I suspect we won't see another little gem like this come out of the internet for a long while.

Melbourne Joomla! Day 2010

This year I had the pleasure of being invited along to Melboune's Joomla! Day 2010. I've only recently started using CMS to build my portfolio, and I found the conference to be a great help. In future I hope to give back to the community by designing and creating my own templates.

HoN reskin

working on it but something is happening with the chest region... old harness is still appearing.

Sketches

These are a bit late but here's the workings done in my journal to work through some problem solving and fill in the blanks in the storyboard:

Final DVD

Glory! Isn't it just glorious? The Lightscribe didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped but it's still there and looks alright. Turns out those sample images for Lightscribe are done at a setting that takes about twice as long to burn. Paranoia's coat in the left DVD is meant to be black :( Oh well, I know for next time I guess.

To make the foam cover I got some square hollow aluminium pipe and hacksawed a section off to make a stamp. I then measured to my best ability where the squares should go and hammered them into the foam. The top creamy layer was made using white bathroom sealant. Thanks to Game for giving me the lovely white DVD cover! You're awesome *thumbs up*. Shame on you JB :(
