Behind The Name

fairy

Hi! How are you today? What will you do on weekend? Doing a trip, hanging out with friends, or enough with blogging? . Ehehe, okay, whatever you will do, hope it will be useful or giving something new for you. Above is one of my learning processes.

 

1. Using Pen Tool (shortcut: P or Shift + P to switch to Freeform Pen Tool ) on Photoshop for tracing the shadow. I use simple shadow for this image.
2. Trying to use Paint Tool SAI. I heard that this is one of tools to make manga/anime.
3. I used free brush for the stars.

Happy weekend everyone! Keep learning and happy always!

 

P.S.:

Why did I entitle this post “Behind The Name”? The color on image above is mostly white. White = Fitrah = Pure. Showing us, especially me, about purity. When I’d finished this image, I realized, that I felt ashamed with my condition now, because I’m not good enough compared to my name. Needing more improvement, because in the name there’s du’a and hope.

Advice for Writers : Spend It All Now

Hey hey! Such a marathon post. Okay, honestly now I’m still @office, I’ve finished my work, and now I’m lazy to learn more about code and design, so I’m writing . Because I’m not an expert of any of my hobbies, I learned something new from site I got yesterday, The Write At Home.com, you can find it on my blogroll on sidebar.

First, I thought it’s blog for writer, book writer, but, blogger is writer too, right? . May be it can be your reference or guide to write. Below is one of their posts that attracted my attention, Advice for Writers : Spend It All Now.

He got that from his favorite book. So, what can you get from image above?

Anyway, happy writing everyone

 

No Texting While Driving

Hi! Okay, I’m kind of “idle-person” now. I’d like to share you about my experience. Honestly, sketch below was for cloth design for my friend business, but delayed or may be cancelled . Never mind, it gave me another lesson in sketching .

No Texting While Driving. Yep, everyone should know and understand about this. Safety. Not only your safety, but also others. You should realize that calling or even texting while you’re riding/driving is not safe. By driving using one hand, won’t make you look cool . Otherwise, you  look so dumb, because you don’t know the rules, and you don’t think about the consequence. Indeed, it will endanger other drivers or pedestrians. So, if you got call on your way, better you stop driving and answer the call. 

Do not endanger other people by riding unsafely.

That’s all. What’s your opinion about this?

Knowing Your Blog Color

Hello bloggers! How are you? Did you ever think about the colors that you used on your blog? Your blog theme? Yep, I will share about this one. When I stopped by to this site, what your web design says about you, I thought it would be something interesting to you. Knowing your blog color. What the meaning behind your blog color is. On that site, not only about colors, you will get more information about Font Type that you used, etc.

For my blog, as you see, I only use 2 colors on my blog, white and grey. I like simple color and design, although I ever walked over “alay and lebay” design style . I’ve learned :mrgreen, you should too . Before I read the site above, I have my own reasons, but I know you dont wanna know. Ahahaha, that’s not important. Okay, below is the general meaning I got from the site.

If you wanna know your own, check the blog directly on what your web design says about you.

Lima Tahapan Kesedihan – The 5 Stages of Grief

Hey hey! Okay, in Bahasa . Hallo, yang pada malam mingguan. Yang nggak, hallo juga . Saya mau share tentang salah satu site bagus, kali ini berhubungan dengan psikologi, know your position in your sadness/grief. Kalian bisa cek langsung di site aslinya, http://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/.

Nah, The Five Stages of Grief ini ditulis oleh Elisabeth Kubler-Ross dan David Kessler. Dengan mengetahui tahapan-tahapan ini, diharapkan kita dapat memahami kondisi apa yang sedang kita hadapi dan apa respon-respon yang akan kita terima, dan sebaliknya, kita mampu memberikan semangat dan sikap yang tepat kepada orang-orang yang berada dalam masa kesedihannya.

Okay,

1. Stage Pertama, Denial. Perasaan tidak terima. Ini adalah posisi di mana seseorang merasa bahwa dunia ini tidak ada artinya. Tahap ini yang membentuk kekuatan seseorang untuk tetap bertahan menghadapi kesedihannya akan kehilangan seseorang ataupun kesedihan-kesedihan lain. Seseorang akan cenderung mencari-cari cara yang cepat untuk melalui ini dan kebanyakan masih dengan penuh tanya, kalaupun ada cara, mengapa harus dilakukan.
   Semakin banyak cara-cara yang dicari untuk melewati tahapan ini, seseorang mulai menerima kenyataan dari kehilangan mereka dan tanpa sadar mulai mengobati diri. Seseorang menjadi lebih kuat dan mulai perasaan tidak terima mulai memudar.

Related to previous post, I’ve got ayah of Qur’an that show us to settlement our brotherhood.

Another Great Book – How to Win Friend & Influence People

How to Win Friends & Influence People (Original Version)

Hey, another book that I borrowed from my friend, Angga. This is the original version of How to Win Friends & Influence People, yep in English, I think it’s first version of this book, because the translated version that I have, it was adapted for current condition, years of technology.

Translated Version

The genre is self-improvement. This book will teach you about how to get friends and how to give good effect to other people around us. Yes, written by Dale Carnegie. Umm, it’s good book for good people. Why did I say that? Yes, because with great way Dale Carnegie wrote the story of famous people and inserted tips and tricks between the story, someone could use it for negative manner. But, beyond that negative motive, just let see the positive one.

The positive thing you can get:

Project Management – Part 1

Hi, there! How are you? Hmm, on this post, I wanna make a resume of one of my Lessons in College, Project Management. Yes, I do this because my collage ever asked to teach him about Project Management. Okay, while I remember it, I write it down.

Prologue: Here we go! Okay, I had got a power point file with more than 200 slides in it and an e-book of PMBOK. I’m not good in explaining and I’m not a kind of student who remember theory, so I won’t write about the definition of Project Management . So, to the point! Below is what I wanna share. Theory, ahahhaa

Theory

As I said before, this theory, I got it from my lecturer .

1) Frameworks of Project Management

There’s  many frameworks that you can use on your project. Below is some frameworks that I knew from my lecturer .

• PRINCE 2 > used by Central Computing Telecommunication Agency (CCTA) – England
• Step Wise > improvement of PRINCE 2
• PMBOK Guide 2004 from PMI as American National Standard of Project Management of Information Technology
• Microsoft Solution Framework (MSF)

So, which framework are interesting for you? All of them gave me inspiration but honestly, I’m note interested in them :mrgeen:. Why? I like the simplest one. In work activity, I see that many top management is not using any framework while managing or planning project. Okay, I’m not expertise yet, but we need to learn and improve. At least, we have our own framework that has good proof when we use it.
