oh! i designed these?

I think I did not post these 2 designs of mine before.

Both of them are my college works during Visual Communication in 2009.

The first is a product illustration. I drawed "Flower by Kenzo". 

This was a class work on 'blending' colours using Illustrator.

The bottom is an A1 typography piece of Hilary Duff. 

The whole piece was filled with Hilary's lyrics.

It took me around a month to complete it.

Oh, gawd! Please don't remind me of the sleepless nights to complete this. lol.

But I'm proud with my works!

I'm not too sure if I still remember how to do all these. hmm...

With love,
Jade

“beyond” by Jade Lim
January 2, 2011

15 x 15 cm | Mixed Medium on Canvas

Mom always reminds me;

that every cloud has a silver lining.

Sometimes,

things just don’t go our way.

Sometimes,

things are beyond our control.

Whatever happens… happens.

 “dear life” by Jade Lim
January 2, 2011
15 x 15 cm | Poster paints on Canvas

Today I woke up
and I realized that how time flies.

Dear 2010;
A year of change.

Of struggles and triumphs,
Of limits and freedom,
It was a total sweet as experience for me.

Dear 2011;
I know time flies, but I am the pilot.
So, Adventure…here I come!

With love,
Jade

Last. Loneliest. Loveliest. Exquisite. Apart.

This is how Rudyard Kipling described Auckland.

Shall I compare thee...

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate;

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

–William Shakespeare

*one of my favourite sonnets*
