Uncyclopedia: Topet Hidayat



There was this man, unknown to the graphic field just yet. With the height of 147cm and a stupendous weight of 65kg, he vast to the world with his solo trademark, his super natural curly hair hidden under his cap. He a very humorous guy with very bad sleeping timing, but yet, he’s going to be the man in the graphic department. The chubby guy here is considered a happy-go-lucky man, always smiling and goofing around. Never be too embarrassed to wave a hello to him. He has this really thick Penang accent and can’t really pronounce the letter ‘R’ very much. He may seem rough on the edges but he doesn’t do critical damages anywhere. Considering the good things happening around him, he have the worst timing. Late nights and waking up in the afternoon. Sometimes, sleeping in the morning, like 10am and went on sleeping until 6pm. He is always “on-the-way”, but rarely on time. The only thing he’ll be on time is the time when he’s hungry. Speaking of hunger, he also has this huge manly appetite. He’s always hungry and every time he finishes eating, within the next few hours, don’t be surprised if he claims to be hungry again. A very healthy young man indeed. It is safe to say that, the only time he forgets about food is when he is concentrating on work, got a new idea and having a full throttle battle game with his friends. This mysterious cap guy, maybe a nobody now, but, he is actually a mutant man in disguise in the graphic field. He can catch images of almost everything in the flash of light and he can draw in the speed of thunder. But very little know who he really is, unknown of his incredibility to the world of graphic design. At the end of the day, this man which been known as TOPET (Mohamad Taufik Hidayat), which came from the combination word of Greek and Kedah Tua. The word TO is a shorter form of Taufik and the word PET is an ancient Greek word for POT-PET. In anyways, this TOPET guy is me. Thank you.

Thank you and I love you.

Where the idea come from?

well, this is actually a simple question. Idea is everywhere. our surrounding is the most inspiring idea for example nature, animal, people etc. the challenging part is to bring the surrounding subject and convert it to an interesting art. this concept is not only for visual art, but also include all the art form ever exist (performing art, music, and even martial art for god sake...)for this post, lets focus on simple vector art.

How to create a cool design by just observing our surrounding.

the answer is simple (according to my stlye):-

  1. First you have to combine it with other material. for example you got an idea from rose and you start to develop your idea from it. why not you combine the idea with its characteristic. for example you see rose as the love symbol. from there u will get the idea to develop the design into the heart-shape-rose.
  2. 2nd is to use the art principal and element. you have to know which principal and element of design is suitable to make the design interesting. The key word for this step is the knowledge of art. to make a design with high value, you have to get serious and read about the principal and element.
  3. the last part is using our experience. what have u seen, what have u done, what have u wear, what have u watch and what have u eat is the kind of experience that im talking about. this really help you to create an interesting composition and color combination for your design.
this is what i do when i creating a design. im not saying that my design is super cool. but im sure that with my method above, it will help the new designer to overcome the creative-block syndrome.

i got some not-so-good idea development. this is for school level actually. hahaha. ok ok.. dor idea development, 1st you must have your subject matter. for example bellow i use rose as my subject matter. and from there i start to sketch my idea.

Q: Why must i sketch the whole damn idea from my brain while you can just develop it with your brain?
A: sketching is like an documentation. u sketch your idea that's mean you transfer the idea from brain to paper and you can see with your own eyes whether the idea is really cool or not. on the other hands, with sketching process you can improve your design from one to another by doing corrections, adding detail and whatsoever. for example from the picture above, you keep sketching and sketching until you really satisfy.

(1 rule for sketching process is don"t use eraser. this is the biggest distraction, time wasting and waste of energy.)

After u satisfied with your design, add the color. (this is still in sketches process, so put as many color combination as you like.

This is the simple example

Choose one of the best color as your final design. use your own rationale to choose your final artwork. as a designer, you should have the ability to assess the design, including your own design.


from the sketches, i choose this as the final design. emmm... what a wasted if you produce a cool design but end up as useless collection. why not to put it on sale? let's put it on shirt sall we?


here there are... nice huhh? hehehe....

fyi: this progress work flow is made for my friends.

P/s: design something that satisfied yourself. from that you will satisfied others. if ur design that u satisfied unable to satisfied other, u not an designer.

reference: from what i've learn/from what i've conclude/from what i've observe

Labamba Internet Cafe: The Long Journey Project

LABAMBA FROM SCRATCH: NOV 2010

Labamba Internet center is now open. this shop is located at Permatang Sintok Pulau Pinang which has the potential to make the competitors (internet cafe near Pmtg Sintok) crying. Labamba's owner (Jamal) offer the job to make his Internet Cafe look cool inside out n also the advertisement. i accept it without hesitation.

Labamba's Owner: buat kedai aku bagi lawa!
Me: ok... aku ingat nak buat logo, name card, signboard, wallpaper (PC), colour theme (interior wall), posters, stickers.
Labamba's Owner: errr... apa hang cakap?... janji smart dah la...

And so i start my work while busy studying for my final... who cares bout final exam. this job is real education isn'it?


The Labamba's Owner agreed to choose this logo as his corporate Logo.

About the logo:

The concept for this logo is minimalist which is simple bold typeface has been used in this logo. i use italic effect for the typeface to arouse the movement effect. furthermore i put some simple triangle as decorative composition which function as one point perspective to make the logo look pop-out (movement from back to front). The color from this logo is based on the client request.

Questions:

Q:why this logo doesnt look like internet-ish or cyber-ish? this is internet cafe isn't?

A: well, if you see a dog with a tag written "Pig"... does the dog is pig? hahaha... is not good to aswer the question with question... ok.. for me... this is Internet Cafe... if i put an earoplane figure as symbol as the signboard, its still internet cafe isn't? Logo is the thing that reperesent your company. not necessarily you have to make it as symbol to tell the audience what the company do. For some reason we have to think about suitability to the company.

This is Logo In Progress:

1st logo Propose:


Actually this is the base idea. the colour, tag line and the typeface.. just simple line no curve at all...

2nd Logo Propose:

I've watching 3d movie in cinema so i could use the idea from there... it was nice but not good enough...

3rd Logo Propose:


Suddently i got call from the client to put a maskot on top of the logo... so i got an idea different idea on typeface composition and create the cute red dragon as the maskot.. as the decoration, i put fire amber behid the dragon... but the client hate fire amber... he ask me to change it to lightning bolt.

$th Logo Propose:


So, The logo look like this but from time to time, the client felt insecure with this logo.. he said people may see his shop as negative influence since his shop located at the village and culture there is abit old-fashioned.

5th logo propose:


This is the 5th logo i create it... for the moment the client agreed to choose this since i remove the dragon and all... but suddently he change his mind... until now i dont know the reason.. haha...

After all the mess with logo, other item was easily approve... here there are..

Chronicles of Diploma Class-B Graphic


terkenang kembali 3 tahun lepas... mereka ni la pencorak hidup ku... byk mereka bantu... byk mereka tunjuk ajar... byk mereka serikan hidupku.. ada manis.. ada pahit.. ada masin.. ada masam... aku enjoy... tadak pengganti yg lebih baik dr mereka...

time ni epi n farid tak join kelas aku lg... so... maap la nohh.. ini original kelas B... mereka TERBAIK!!!!

Letih La Woi!!!!



Ini pesyen bleh mati woo... artwork lagu nih mmg kasi aku migrain... stroke halus begini mmg aku tak biasa buat kalo pakai waccom... plus flat color mmg susah wooo... better effect air brush.. lg senang... inilah artwork paling letih penah aku wat seumur hidup aku... ntah la nape.. software senang... maybe aku nak demam kot... hasil dia takde la perfect pon... ade je cacat....

anyway.. aku pakai software baru nihh yg diberi oleh ZED ibrahim (otai gak budak nih a.k.a junior aku)... nama software PAINT TOOL SAI... agak smart disitu... mmg aku akan pakai software ni la kalo nak draw... tp aku masih tak biasa pakai waccom lg... so kene byk practice nihh.. hehehe... ini la process2 dr rough sketch hingga final.. ushar la woii!!!



Rough Sketches
ok... ni nak crita sikit... 1st proses kita kena rough sketch... aku pakai kaler selain itam sbb warna itam aku nak pakai time proses inking.... proses sketches (melakar) ni mengambil masa yg singkat... just ikut ati je... jgn nak kesah salah naa... teruskan jee.. tackle proportion figure.... janji aampa paam sketches ampa suudah la nohh....

Inking
memandangkan aku pakai komputer... proses inking ni takla bahaya sgt... kalo manual kene la hati2... kalo tak jenuh berpalam laaa ngan liquid (plakat white).. hehehe... proses ni mmg penting gila babi... yg mana ampa sketch td time ni laa penentu rupa bentuk lukisan ampa... kalo time rough sketch tu mcm taik.. time ni laa ampa repairr.. time ni mkn masa sikit sbb proses perkembangan idea juga masih berlaku disambil melukis dengan lebih detail dan kemas....



Black Shadow

aku tak tau nak bg nama apa kat proses nihh... ni mmg proses yg aku selesa buat sebelum aku colour... aku mesti nak letak shadow 100% black... bukan grayscale naaa.... ja black jaa... proses ni memudahkan ampa nak colour ikut tone... trust me... selain tuhh, proses ini membantu ampa terasa mcm artwork ampa nak siap dah... so anda akan tak sabaq2 dan makin bersemangat sehingga terlupa anda mempunyai awek yg sedang merindui anda...

Colouring
aku malas nak cite detail pasal colouring nihh... sebb panjang ceritanya... aku nak bg tips ja utk kaler nihh... 1st.. jgn pakai warna yg "betui"... hahaha1!!! aku tak ckp merapu laaa... maksud aku warna "betui" ni mcm warna merah "betui"... pure merah... tak best... cuba pakai merah tua... merah muda... kasi nampak naturall... gitu laaa...

Tertib
proses tertib adalah meletakkan watemark ataupon signiture anda.... itu sahaja dr saya... papaiii
