Here’s an additional sample to what I’ve been working on lately:

Wedding cards for the soon to be bride and bridegroom.

I’ve actually submitted the sample to another website that offers services and infos about anything related to weddings – They provide info for services such as bridal makeup, photography, food catering, flowers etc. Which got me into thinking of getting help from a business website builder company to help me build an official business website for my freelance works. That would be an awesome idea, ya?

A professional-built business website could probably bring in more customers to my sites, since I do not have the expertise of building a website, especially those with flashy flash thingy. I’m no pro coder and builder, I’m just a graphic designer. :-P To achieve a great looking website, I’m gonna need people who actually eat and sleep building websites – like them guys at web-deva.com. :-)

Well hmmm.. this should go into my consideration box.

I wish we have Sephora in Malaysia. I also wish that Sephora ships international so I could get my hands on their Eyeshadow Premier and Naked makeup palette! But Mimi informed me that works are in progress at Starhill Gallery for the grand opening of Sephora – in Malaysia. YAY!

And since I do not have to buy online for Urban Decay products anymore, I went surfing the Net for face ampoules – which brought me into a blog of a lady who runs an online business selling makeup and beauty product. What caught my attention was not the items she sold, but the images she used for a certain local Malaysian company (I think it’s a Malaysian company from their URL?) that sells beauty product.

Look at the model in the posters:

One does not need the use of Nikon binoculars to tell that it was Mena Suvari’s head they used on top of the model’s body!

AND, is that even legal to use a celebrity’s face to promote your items? I can bet that Mena Suvari did NOT endorse their products, judging from her photos…

But anyway, my point here is, this is a bad Photoshop work. They should’ve hired me in the first place. :-P

I saw the ad for The Good Wife series on Astro last week. (I think they’re airing it in Malaysia starting January 2010??) I thought the ad looked mysterious and interesting at the same time, so I hopped on to my notebook and logged to the website I subscribed for viewing TV shows online. This is the same website where I watch all the up-to-date TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy & Desperate Housewives.

[I'm very impatient when it comes to TV shows. Astro is a wee bit behind those shows currently showing in USA, hence I don't mind paying to watch them online. Thank goodness they accept payment through both PayPal and credit card. I wouldn't be able to subscribe if they were accepting check by phone..]

Anyway, back to The Good Wife. I must say, this is a great show and I love it!!

The show tells of a woman named Alicia Florrick (played by Juliana Margulies – remember ER??) who is a mother and wife to a scandalous husband (played by Chris Noth – Mr. Big from Sex & The City!!!). After her husband was sent to jail for his sex and political corruption, Alicia had to resume full responsibility for her family and re-enter the workforce as a lawyer – and a very good one at it!

Nice one lah.. I don’t know if you’ll like this show but I know I do!

Not too long ago, I was pretty much in love with business cards… I think I might actually marry a business card if I could. I’d spend the day creating business cards after another – only to find that I do not have a business to sell. Now that I’m into freelance makeup business, maybe I should look into the old love of mine once again.

Being a busy person that I am, I wanted a pretty but quick design for my business card (because I just don’t have the time to create a logo, let alone a business card design), so when I heard about this company that offers quality business card and logo design, I was psyched and went to check out the AWESOME link.

First, I hit the logo creator:

Choose a logo:

A few clicks here and there..

WALAA! A business card of my own! Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. It was so easy to create one, I could do it with my eyes closed. (OK, that was exaggerating) But seriously, it was SO EASY, you wouldn’t believe how little time it takes to make your own quality business card.

Try it out yourself if you don’t believe me…

Oh by the way, that wasn’t my number on the card. But you can try calling it! :-P
