My Design Workbench

So, You Thought of Designing Eh?

If you are curious on where I get my inspirations... well EVERYWHERE! From books, television, when I'm driving... like I said everywhere! And the internet holds a lot of inspirations and ideas.

I take an inspiration then I play it around and make it my own. Remember, copyrights! And you really want your creations to be unique.

Here, let me share few of my principles...

1. I like to group things at a certain place or spot.
2. Less is more. Don’t over do the design. It’ll end up crowded and dirty. The cleaner it looks the better. Think about this, when you are wearing a stripe skirt you would not want to wear polka dot shirt would you?
3. Find harmony in colors. Don’t let them clash. If one’s too dark, tone down the other. But don’t play it too safe. Too light sometimes can be boring. So work the colors around.
4. Use elements. It can be flowers, shapes or letters but remember rule #2.
5. Last but not least, it’s all about your preference. Whatever it is that makes you happy is still the best result. Don’t let anybody tell you this and that and you’ll end up miserable and unhappy. So follow your heart.
6. And stop saying you can’t because YOU CAN DO IT!


There you go! Hope I inspired you in creating your own.
