Creating an identity for yourself

..is not easy at all! For all of my years in university, I've been enrolled in modules to help me find my 'brand' or my 'identity'. It's not easy at all. It's like getting married, how are you going to be sure that he's the right one to spend the rest of your life with? I know my style of work can change over time, but as a 'soon to be' fresh graduate revealing myself to the subjective world of design, I want to start off strong.  Honestly, up to this point, a day more until I hand one of my best work to be in the degree show catalogue that 'speaks' Anna Yeoh, I am still clueless. 

Did you know that I'm on tumblr? I know, I know. Social network overload? You see, that site has always been named 'It's a peanut butter affair!' I don't have a good story behind the name, besides the fact that peanut butter's my ambrosia and as far as many other happiness has been short-lived, a jar of this happiness has always been constant. I'm thinking of making me the 'It's a peanut butter affair!' girl. 

I tried doing this with Adobe Illustrator, but after speaking to Joy today, I realize it doesn't really make much of a sense to people who doesn't know me. I've changed my design for tomorrow's self-promotional hand in already, but I'm looking forward to developing this piece of chocolate for my own use. Chocolate's the best medicine right? I can be your Anna-sthetic ;)

Oh! And I tried digital painting today! I want nothing more than to paint again. I perk up thinking about how fun art class was back in high school. How fun was it to be young & paint again. Well, I can't paint anymore, no shit. You see, in my head where pixie dust are constantly snowing down, I picture my finish product to be breath taking. But when I've spend 2 hours painting something and it looks nothing like I pictured it, I get discouraged and give up. 

I tried a different approach today and I'm quite happy I didn't spend a single penny on paint! And I can easily just use an eraser for my mistakes! Now, I'm a happy girl. looking forward to work more on my first proper piece of digital paint!
