Portfolio Website Design

A website for my personal portolio.

Wanted a happy vibrant colourful fun design. The graphics on the left side of each page (the ones with the bunny) is animated using Flash.

Well, I’ll let the screen shots do the talking!

Tan Chin Tuan Nursing Awards Poster

Poster for TCT Nursing Awards 2008.

Design theme for this poster is The Lamp, because Florence Nightingale who is a pioneering nurse, is also known as The Lady with the Lamp.

Lo! in that hour of misery
A lady with a lamp I see
Pass through the glimmering gloom,
And flit from room to room.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I personally like this poster a lot. Too bad it wasn’t shortlisted for client’s selection.

First Try @ Studio Photoshoot

Strobe, honeycomb, softbox, barndoor, etc… It was a handful of stuff to learn about the equipments used in a studio photoshoot, and of course the study of studio lightings.

We had approximately 7 weeks to experience how things work at a studio photoshoot and it was pretty fun, though things can get really confusing at times. Anyhow, I had a shoot with my model, Vanessa who had no difficulty in flirting with my camera lens. Hiak hiak. Sure does make my job easier.

So here are some photos which I shot. I used a soft box as the main light, and also included a background light to give the photos more depth. I still feel a little amateurish, but well, I tried my best and it was a good experience!
