Simple DIY


Been a long while since i did my own diy projects and well it is one of my new year resolutions to get back to it so here's a few simple ones that i've always had my mind on doing!!

Simpsons on my red Baggu duck bag






Iron on's on a oversized t-shirt which can be worn as a 
t-shirt dress (thrift store), which i cut up and sew.





And inspired from the craze with embroidered, decorated collars....




Dad's old shirt, had the sleeves cut off to leave a raw hem and then sew 
up the sides to give the shirt more shape.






Another cobalt blue oversized men's blue shirt from a flea market, 
with sewn on white on red polka dot ribbons...



Excited, i will try to take pictures of them when i wear them out and post it soon. 
Many more to come soon!

Type of Dressing.


From how type and imagery is laid out in an editorial to the application of type on graphics, this book aims to show how both the use of typography and its character together with graphics and imagery can be used to bring across an expression and message, which in this case is the expression of women based on their sense of style. 

The publication would be one that shows how different typography has its own character and style and how it can be similarly linked to how women these days dress up to represent their own individuality and character. The book will focusing on four main dressing styles as the skeleton of the editorial and in each style, would show the use of typography in the graphic imagery of the particular dress style and how it compliments and has a similar mood to further enhance and bring out the character of the style of dressing through illustrations.


The intended result is to produce an publication showing the character of typography and the many different ways of how it’s character can be infused together with the dressing styles of women to express their style and mood. And for this book to also act as a style guide for women around to be informed about the characteristics of the dressing styles and typefaces that compliments it.
