Laziness makes me procrastinate. Procrastination makes me do stuff the lazy way.

| This is how you do an express conceptual idea|

For the lazy-hearted only: How to make crappy design not too crappy?



1. Make a model according to your instinct and materials available . Just simply cut and glue.


2. Shoot variety of angles from different views. Crop them nicely and set them in sequence. This already make a board..or if you are super lazy...shoot more angles to produce 2-3 conceptual boards.

3. Using Photoshop, photo montage selected images and blend the layers using 'Multiply'. Trace the outline and wallah..you will get something like the image above. Of course, it is better to have sequence of images to show as 'idea development'. I am too lazy to upload my idea development because the file is in pdf..nyaaa..


5. After tracing any outline that you like, create space by using scale and applying your space requirements. Play around in CAD or Sketch Up or whatever software you are good at.


6. So, there you go. One assignment done! A design with a concept but without intention. So please bear in mind: during presentation you have to talk crap and bullshit your way to at least a credit. The jurors are not stupid. They will notice in an eye blink a design without intention.

Still consider to cheat and be lazy?

Yeah! All the best mate!

Owh...my concept for this compact apartment was STACK.

Because I simply stacked the model, stacked the images, stacked the plans and stacked everything.

Intention: To fill my presentation boards with graphic images as if I did lots of work.

Weakness: I am a lousy liar...

I noticed most designer put their signature or logo at the bottom of their artwork. Cool...I thought.

So here goes mine:la3dot3

My favorite phrase when I am too lazy to explain stuff..

Killing Precious Time






Thought of sharing some "photoshoped"photos. Original image is permanently unrecoverable because I absentmindedly saved edited version replacing the original. They are all similar but not the same. The images show my weaknesses in editing. I will keep on editing and make a variety of slightly different copies of the original. Then hours will I spend trying to choose which image successfully capture my attention..hmmm...

Which one capture yours?

p/s: That is my road trip car. We had great adventures with Susila. She took us to Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne, Wollongong, beaches and with her, my beautiful memory ^_^
