at last! my exam week is nearly over but i still have several works to be done. huff.. during the exam week, i slept for only 3-4 hours a day. it's really tiring but worth it coz i got a really nice final artworks to be present during the exam. yay me!

ok. this time i would like to post some editorial photos that (for me) is really interesting. since i'm a designer, i really enjoy working with lots of different types of paper. duh! you got it already.

here's the photos. the photographer is Marty Lochmann and the model is Tara Cassidy.

interesting, isn't it? the accessories were all made of papers (i don't what type they used) and i can't imagine how they made it.


maybe i can teach you some terms here. in our industry (visual communication design), there are several types of finishing might be used on a final artwork. one of them is called emboss. emboss is like making some parts emerge than the other. the emboss itself have different kind of techniques. in this shot, the technique used is blind embossing, which means no color was added during the embossing. see.. if you follow this blog, you'll get something to learn. HA!


this time, the paper was used as the collar. i love the effect they make to the model. the finishing they used here is the die cut cutting. this cutting technique is quite difficult because it really emphasizes the details.


another "collar" papery. this is a different technique they also used but i can't remember the name of it.


this? wicked. it looks like the tree, the branches, and the leaf is growing all over her face.


some kind of chinese/japanese-inspired fan for the decoration. i love the makeup they create. smokey.
