typographic rule #1.

Thou shalt not use Comic Sans.

Especially if one is a design agency.

php and a whole lot of headaches.

After a dueling one and half days of sleep deprivation and sore fingers from over-typing (okay, I may be exaggerating a little lot here), wordpress is finally up and running, with comments included. Now, I shall shrivel up in my little bed, under my little blanket and catch up on my well-deserved sleep.

Discovery of the day: I despise php.

me.
quick fact spew:
Joanne Wee Li Zhen, 20th May 1988, born, raised and living in Singapore, half Chinese Singaporean, half Filipino, currently studying in Nanyang Technoligical University's School of Art, Design and Media, majoring in Visual Communications.

and the summarized life:
I'm a designer. Or at least I'd like to think so (despite being unemployed, or, if nicely put, focusing on my studies). I haven't always been in design. Yes, I went through the phase of being a science nerd student. Let's just say the feud between me and science wasn't too pleasant. My turning to this field of design was due to a mix of love, and a little hatred. In four little words, love design, hate science. Nicely put if I do say so myself.

But it didn't come as nicely as that. I went through twelve years of studying nothing related to design. At 12, with a group of friends and during the humble beginnings of the Internet, we slaved together on gurlpages.com (hey, we all had to start out somewhere) and pieced together our very first website in all it's embarrassingly gaudy (with no sense of typography or design), glory. With years of maturity and the god-sent Photoshop, I'd like to say I've improved quite a drastic bit. To view my works, please visit my portfolio.

When I'm not designing, I'm having a constant battle with diapers soiled in things and smells you'd rather not know, vomit that has travelled further than it should have (could say it inspired this blog) and noises that leaves a grown person in a state of panic and confusion. Let's just say that I'm not your average student.
