Designing book covers ( kopipesediseng )

A quick bit of book cover inspiration.

The advantage of designing covers for a series/collection of books is that you can approach it like so…

Designed by New-York based Cardon Webb for Oliver Sacks. Via Design Milk.

Like so…

Designed by Angus Hyland of Pentagram for a series of Laurence King books.

So, and like so…

Designed by London-based YES Studio for Penguin.

In addition, here’s an excellent cover design resource: The Book Cover Archive, “for the appreciation and categorization of excellence in book cover design,” edited and maintained by Ben Pieratt of General Projects and Eric Jacobsen of Whisky Van Gogh Go.

More than 1,300 covers can be searched by designer, title, author, publisher, publication date, art director, photographer, illustrator, typeface, and genre.

What's your designer star sign?

As creatives, we all think we're unique – but in truth there are only 12 types of designer. Creative director Liza Enebeis consults her inner Zodiac to bring you your stars.

Designers born under Aries are fearless. They aren't afraid to tell the client what they really think. Their passion lies inbranding - they want to put their mark on everything. And if the chance arises, they'll make a logo design 10 times bigger just so they can admire it from afar.

Me,ME and ME.....  ---> "Taurus designers are the most reliable; they never leave a client disappointed. They also own the most lucrative design studio in the city. You can feel it from the moment you walk in, from the designer floors, walls and lights, right down to the designer toilet seat."

They're the complete opposite to Cancerian designers, who tend to set up their design studio at home and like to keep client contact to a minimum. Their sensitivity is reflected in their work - they shy away from bold typography and bright colours.

By contrast, Leo designers are brashly confident. They make great keynote speakers because they're guaranteed to give the best show. Their designs reflect their personality - their type is all-caps, preferably centred, as if everything revolves around them.

They work especially well with Gemini designers, who can sweet-talk clients and have them agree to anything. They can sketch almost any scenario, although they can go from loving their own proposal to completely hating it in a matter of minutes.

Virgo designers, on the other hand, are the most precise. While the rest of us are busy looking at the bigger picture, the Virgo designer is busy checking all the kerning for the third or fourth time. They strive for perfection.

They're similar to Libras - when a Libra designer designs, expect them to take a while. All potential outcomes are weighed. Should the logo be left-aligned or right-aligned? Should it be bright red or slightly darker? This can go on for weeks, and no one will see the difference except for the Libra designer.

That's too laborious for the Scorpio designer. They rely on charm and sexiness. The way they build up a presentation, smoothly revealing one concept after another, often turns on even the coldest client.

Sagittarius designers tend to be playful, on the other hand. They're simply willing to try things out. Capricorn designers sympathise with that approach. They just can't stop designing. Every design proposal has to be bigger than the last, with more Pantones, more 3D gradients, more layers, more filters and so on.

Pisces designers would pique at that. They're sensitive types. Does a proposal have the right energy? Does it provoke an emotional reaction? These questions run through the Pisces designer's mind.

Aquarius designers, though, have a different goal: they're idealists at heart. They want to make the world a better place with their design. Apart from their humanitarianism they're also ridiculously sporty. They're the kind of designers who, after a late night in the studio, would rather go for a 10-mile jog than a well-deserved drink. Definitely strange.

Ada satu website khas buat pencinta baju tees/ t-shirt, almaklumlah aku ni mmg suka pakai baju tees so tak jadi masalah aku pencinta tees hahahaha.

So kedua nya adalah pertandingan yang mereka anjurkan kepada pereka-pereka tees ini. Bukan sahaja anda dapat hadiah; tetapi! anda juga berpeluang menjadi artis tees dan melengkapkan porfolio anda dengan lebih kacak dan lagi kan bergaya. Saya masih belum mempunyai masa mahupun daya kreativiti untuk membuat tees yang bergaya untuk semua, cuma sememangnya niat itu ada. 

Mana mungkin saya sebagai designer yang mungkin sekadar hobi seketika ini, masih lagi berupaya membuat kerja-kerja design cuma masih tidak seperti dahulu. Rakan-rakan seperti chapit daripada komuniti 360, saya respek padanya kerana masih lagi berkecimpung di dalam bidang rekaan [design] ini.

What kills your creativity?

"So this is the best situation for designer out there to know at least know their creativity flow and becoming dead. So if you're still a designer and really stuck on ideas; this is why it happens."

_____________________________________________________________________________

When it comes to doing creative work, it’s important to not only look for ways to let our creativity thrive, but to also be mindful of insidious “creativity killers” that can sneak up and strangle our ability to come up with our best ideas. According to research from Harvard University, there are five main culprits that are responsible for killing our creativity.

It’s important to recognize these impediments to the creative thought process because many are insidious, and worse yet, most can be made on the managerial end, meaning we may be stifling our creative workers without even realizing it.

For those of us doing creative work, we must be mindful of these deterrents of the creative process so we can continue to put out our most novel ideas.

1. Role Mismatch

As Einstein said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Placing people in roles that they are not fit for is a surefire way to kill creativity. Although this may seem like a managerial concern, there are personal consequences here as well. Additional research has shown that we are at our best when we are “busy” (and pushed to our limits), but not rushed. In the wrong role, we can struggle to keep up and live in a constant state of creativity-crushing panic.

2. External End-Goal Restriction

Although self-restriction can often boost creativity, the Harvard study shows thatexternal restrictions are almost always a bad thing for creative thinking. This includes subtle language use that deters creativity, such as bosses claiming “We do things by the book around here,” or group members implicitly communicating that new ideas are not welcome.

3. Strict Ration of Resources

While money and physical resources are important to creativity, the Harvard study revealed that mental resources were most important, including having enough time.

Creative people re-conceptualize problems more often than a non-creative. This means they look at a variety of solutions from a number of different angles, and this extensive observation of a project requires time. This is one of the many reasons you should do your best to avoid unnecessary near-deadline work that requires novel thinking. Also, when we are faced with too many external restrictions we spend more time acquiring more resources than actually, you know, creating.

4. Lack of Social Diversity

Homogeneous groups have shown to be better able to get along, but it comes at a cost: they are less creative. This even applies to the social groups you keep, so beware of being surrounded by people who are too similar all the time, you may end up in a creative echo-chamber.

5. Discouragement/No Positive Feedback

It’s tough to continue working on novel ideas when you haven’t received any positive feedback. This feeling is backed by psychological research that shows people who’ve started a new undertaking are most likely to give up the first time things come crashing down, also known at the “what the hell!” effect.

Creative people thrive on having others impacted by their ideas. Without feedback, their motivation begins to wither and die.

Karier Jurugambar (photographer)

Assalamualaikum,

Kepada semua pengunjung setia dan juga pembaca blog bandar palma ini, ingin aku mengupas serta menanyakan pendapat awok2 semua di ruang siber itu untuk perihal seperti ini.

Aku nak kata lama berkecimpung didalam fotografi ini, tak la lama tapi bermula dari bangku sekolah lagi iaitu sekolah menengah dan tak silap tingkatan satu atapun dua. Sejarah yang lama, di mana abah ku seorang hobi tegar nya mengambil gambar menggunakan SLR (single-lens reflex) yang menggunakan filem (negatif) sebagai medium nya, bukan seperti sekarang ini macam2 ada dengan wujudnya DSLR (digital single-lens reflex), compact, mirrorless dan sebagainya.

Nak kata aku ni hebat ermm tak gak lah, dan nak kata aku ni berpelajaran di dalam ilmu fotografi tak juga lah. So aku ni kategori yang macam mana? boleh lah korang anggap aku ni sebagai self-literate(self-though) photographer. Kira pengalaman aku hanya berpandukan buku dan juga daripada orang2 yang lain sebagai contoh abah aku lah. Jadi sekarang ini aku bukan nya nak berleter ataupun bercerita pasal sejarah fotografi ku tetapi nak tahu karier jurufoto gambar sekarang ini.

Kita semua sedia maklum zaman sekarang ini memang sudah canggih, dengan pelbagai teknologi dan gajet yang terjual mudah, tak kiralah di talian (online) ataupun kedai fizikal. Ini bukanlah satu kejutan yang menjadi kejutan apabila barangan ini mudah di jual, maka ramailah yang membeli dan apabila ramai yang membeli makin ramai lah yang menggunakan; simple kan?

So apabila ramai yang menggunakan nya apakah yang akan mereka gunakan? maksudnya jika awok2 beli DSLR D90 (nikon) lah kan dengan berharga RM2000++ complete kit. So apa yang akan awok2 gunakan DSLR itu? Adakah anda akan menggunakan nya sekadar hobi? alasan anda mampu daripada terdaya? anda memang nak beli DSLR? ataupun bagaimana? Sukar untuk aku perjelaskan situasi yang mungkin tak ramai dan mampu lihat. Ok katalah seorang jurugambar professional yang sedia membeli sebuah DSLR high-end yang berharga sekitar RM10K ke atas kemungkinan (besar) akan menggunakan mengikut bisnes yang dia akan terajui. Jadi saya rasa bertepatan dengan apa yang di jiwai oleh beliau. 

So sekiranya anda dan awok2 di luar sana yang mempunyai DSLR tak kira lah harga nya berapa, apakah keputusan anda untuk menjawab soalan aku ni? soalan nya :-

APAKAH YANG AWOK LAKUKAN PADA DSLR TU?

Cuma nak di jadi kan cerita, aku pernah membeli sebuah DSLR yang lengkap. Di mana boleh lah di anggap sekadar hobi dan masa itu aku mampu membeli DLSR itu kerana harga nya yang berpatutan. Aku menggunakan DSLR itu selama 2 tahun dan penggunaan nya seperti sepupu aku kahwin aku amik, dan kemudian lanskap di kuantan (bandar palma) pun telah aku sematkan di Flickr tu. Kira selama mana aku gunakan DSLR tu aku berpuas hati. Jadi sesiapa yang boleh menjawab soalan ku itu, boleh membalas nya di ruangan / kolum di komentar di bawah ini ye. Sekian dan harap maklum.

Sedikit imej / gambar daripada Flickr ku :-

iRIP - Steve Jobs

It's a shame for everyone especially those with Apple Inc and also their customer but the truth is although Steve Jobs isn't here but I think there will always a place for someone new and maybe much better be or like-him. But this is my tribute to Stevie, thanks Stevie for this years.

Hot Semakin Cool!

Aku giler stress skang neh, tapi aku rasa stress aku cool beb!! tak tahu camne nak cakap dalam marah-marah tapi aku cool kot? ke rasa cool ke stress tu buat aku cool?

Tu pasai aku susah nak kabor kat korang. Kira cam tu lah citer dia, skang ni dah masuk akhir tahun 2010 dan tak lama lagi kita umat Islam akan menyambut Awal Muharram so standby lah puasa, doa, vision korang tu yek. Lagi satu aku nak mencari kebahgiaan di dalam dunia dan akhirat itu yang wajib dan patut bukan sahaja aku malah seme kawan2 umat Islam sedara-mara suku sakat sepapat lah kan kira seme lah.


Jangan buat maksiat, toksoh berzina seme tu, jangan mencuri, mencaci, amik pil koya, racing haram menonggeng kan buntut yang huduh tu. Aku dok ske seme tu, pastu akhir tahun ambil iktibar banyak2 umat Islam ramai yang meninggal di Al-Mukarammah orang Malaysia sahaja dah 30 orang yang meninggal.

Tapi eloklah sebab semenya dah selesai dan semoga arwah di tempatkan orang yang soleh dan beriman pada Allah SWT. Lagi satu krisis perang sedara korea makin menjadi, krisis perang di Palestin makin tak sudah, krisis pronografi dan juga seks bebas turut menyumbang betapa huduhnya manusia punya perangai.

Lagi satu anda setuju ke budak darjah2 tu di ajarkan pendidikan seks? apa agaknya mak bapak diorg rasa? pendidikan seks ini meluas tetapi biarlah berpada kena pada tempat ye dok? aku dok tahu sebab aku tadok degree dalam pendidikan so gi jahanam wakakakakakaka. Orait sembang2 punya chatting aku dah mengarut so selamat menyambut Awal Muharram minggu depan yek ok.

Coming Soon Lah
