Games + Design + Movies + Music = Fun

.:Games:.

I've been playing Gunbound and many RPG (Role Playing Games) this summer break. Gunbound is fun. Free taunting. Fun to mess around. wahaha. I just finished Pokemon Emerald. It was fun. argh! I miss those high school games when Pokemon was the fad. Right now I'm playing Final Fantasy 7. I need to get Vincent in my party! Games games games!

.:Design:.

I really want to improve the design of my blog. I want to make my online portfolio. Too bad design books are so expensive. Fortunately, I read them free at Powerbooks. :D If I had the money, I would really buy them. The book I've read recently was Layout Workbook by Kristin Cullen. Whoah, great concepts and great designs are showcased in that book.

Here are some of the things I've learned:
1. To design is not only to add aesthetics, but more importantly, to add meaning... blah blah
2. Form does not follow content. They go together as one.
3. Typography is the basic grammar for designing.
4. Layouts... (look for the book to see the designs)

.:Movies:.

I've watched Madagascar last week, and it was good. (I like to move it, move it! I like to... MOVE IT!!!) I really loved the penguins in the movie... hahaha! I just watched Coach Carter, and it was even better. Simple cinematography, great plot, and great lessons to learn.

.:Music:.
