Achievement: Graphic skills!




Today is the day where I show you what have become of me and Photoshop, Meitu Xiu Xiu and Corel Draw be combined together! Ha, be ready people, to see the disaster.

..I’m sorry, I should cry.

Before I start posting picture, I want to tell you warning beforehand. I’m a newbie. So judge me based on my experience, please.

  1. 1.     Cinta Yang Tertidur (A Love that fell asleep)


I made this using Meitu Xiu Xiu. This is my very first poster made for my club’s upcoming drama (I’m in the play!) My moment here... should I say, I’m in despair when I made this. Not only I have lines to remember (I’m worse at remembering things), and the practice of the play is taking so much time. Using meitu Xiu Xiu back then was such a pain. I don’t know why I volunteered myself to make it. But, thanks to this poster people start to trust me for the graphic job!  -cry and wince-

  1. 2.      The Rehearsal



This is my 2nd attempt at using meitu Xiu Xiu. For some reason, my coach likes the outcome of my poster and asks me to make him a logo for his upcoming school. And I’m being paid. MY VERY FIRST PAYMENT. My stomach grumbled, I feel lightheaded and dizzy and then I freaked out. And refuse. But he insisted. I don’t know why, but it was scary beyond my expectation. So this is how you feel when you get your first payment. 

My, such a feel.

  1. 3.      Tone in Two Basket



This is my drama’s club music showoff in my opinion. Our drama club has their own orchestra, we call it “Orkeste” they are so good and I envy them to the core –based on my zero experience with music tools and the fact that everything I hold will decay—I swear, when I have a child, they will be so good at playing music that I’ll rise from my grave to see them play. Damnit!

TITB also provides people who watch with dance and song. Such a good show.

  1. 4.      Final Destination



The poster was made in 3 hours under my upper class’s demand. It was so hard to get an idea for the poster when you doesn’t know what’s going on in the play, I feel so bad when I make this, I don’t feel satisfy at all...

But the drama is so good and twisted and everything, so I feel happy again!

  1. 5.      Violet The Musical


THIS. IS. MADE. WITH. SWEAT. TEARS. AND. DEADLINE.

I was half dead. Violet the musical was our 2nd external show (up until couple years ago, we have never made a show for outside people, but finally we made it. The 1st show is A Whole New World –I didn’t make the poster.) I work as a cast and one of the main productions, which means hell. The practice was hectic and I shed tears couple of times as well, I was tired and the need to give up and discard everything was on the peak. Man, remembering it now urges me to puke. But however, I was happy too

I end up making 4 posters actually; the first one was rejected due to the fear of copyright issue. The 2nd one was too dark for our producer liking, the 3rd one was too heavenly and the 4th (the one I show you) is the final poster. Praise the lord.

VTM is very complicated. The story is about how 4 people to overcome the difference in society and learn how anger and betray lies inside everyone’s souls, even in your most trusted people.

  1. 6.      Orkus, dan Kembali (Orkus, and back)


ODK is made with smiles and joy as I get the idea planted after I read the script for the first time. And I make it fast too! Man, such a good time.

The story is about an adventure of a man, a lone traveler, to accomplish the prophecy of a king that is place upon him. He must take a journey to a place named Orkus and survive it to make it back to his kingdom. But little did he know what lies in the sacred place called Orkus. 

The story is twisted and the language use is quite difficult, but overall it was very good!

  1. 7.      How Noseless Found Nose



In this poster, you might see a name so graceful that is hard to write and pronounce. It’s my name!

It’s okay for you to barf after reading it, because I even winced when I write it.

HNFN is a play that includes me as assistant director; it was so much fun working with my underclassman. And as a senior, I enjoyed torturing them as well. –evil laugh—but for some reason, they aren’t afraid of me. Damn brats!

The story is made by my classmate as well, who is also our club’s president! What a skill. She’s a good actress too as well. The story a Harry Potter parody actually; it is a romantic-comedy. About a man, named Vildomaret (Voldemort party) who is searching for his nose. Hermiono, Hery, and Roni (Hermione, Harry and Ron party) is to help him by finding his true love that could cured him. Their journey teach them how love can’t be forced and how betray is not the end of the friendship.

The poster is simple but I have a hard time for it –be damned for vector! By making HNFN, I learn that I love simplicity more than I should have.

Now that I see, I have made 7 posters so far. Someday, I might write how I make them..? If I have time of course! But feel free to ask if you’re curious, I’ll help as much as I can<3
