Stylish icons have been designed for one of the Exabytes’ product. Each icon has its representative. Draw out using illustrator only without photoshop touch up.

Tone / Toning is playing an important rules in creating 3D look object. If you tone in the right way ( follow where the light from ), and create a right way of shadow, to draw 3D look object is not your problem again.

Next post I will show you how to scale the icons standing in perspective way and looks real.

I have created a short movie commercial for my company private screening movie, X-FILES on 3 Aug 208 ago. Me and one of my college, have permission to get into GSC cinema projecting room. That is the second time I enter the room. We brought our own projector to project the commercial, all successfully done!

Enjoy with the commercial that I have uploaded to youtube and avid X-Files fans can also download some of our funky alien avatars that I have done. Right click and save it in your preferred location and the avatars are yours for your usage!

Exclusive look for Dedicated server banner design. New server’s image from istockphoto.

The color, black + dark blue toning, motion lighting, grand server look, and growing effect which been applied to the text ( Title ) make overall looks nice.

Black + Dark blue in toning, add in noise effect, after that apply motion blur on it, apply blending mode ” Linear Light ” which located at layer pallet there to make grow effect.

Insert the server image, duplicate it, flip vertical, apply vector mask and apply black and white gradient on it, here you will get the reflection shadow of the server.

Christmas e-card from Exabytes, 2007. I purposely design the size longer. Idea is, create two stories at above and bottom, but a linking stories. Look at the reindeer first ( at above ), it is standing on the roof, finding his ” father ” who is Santa. So where is the Santa? He might be felt down into the house through the chimney. So, that will indirectly make you scroll down to find the Santa too! In the middle, wishes and messages there, after that, found Santa. Yeah! Here he is! Inside the house already and wish you a Merry Christmas with his presents in warming environment.

2007 Happy Halloween, I have created an e-card and send out to all Exabytes’ clients among Halloween day. Elephant, wearing like a witch, how I did that? Just mixing the elephant with the witch’s hat and black robe. The elephant wearing nothing at the first, get the hat and robe, add shadow and transform in warp mode to fit the elephant and touch up.

The background behind, which are the house, clouds and trees, etc, drawing with Illustrator then paste into Photoshop.

Tips! What make the elephant looks ” real ” in the environment? The Shadow. Look at the elephant’s shadow and reflected image, you are advised to do so which can make the things looks match up nicely and feel ” real “.

A 2 minutes plus animation done by using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. LIVE at GSC Queensbay Penang, cinema 1 on Thursday 08 November 2007, 3pm. Thanks to Exabytes’ CEO, Mr Chan, give me a chance to create the animation and LIVE at GSC cinema. What is the purpose for this animation? It can be assume as a introduction movie, played before the Bee Movie start to be showed. Introduce about Exabytes’ products to audiences then indirectly relate it to remind audiences to switch their phones to silent mode.
