Freshwind 2010 Sneak Peak

My brother, Bryan Andrew Lee and I have been working endless on this video for Freshwind, this amazing youth conference my church TACF holds coming up on April 1-3, 2010. Here are some quick screenshot, beautiful are they! And I promise you the video is that much better!

bokehs travel in packs too

So it's the holidays so please excuse me for the slow one week late updating ugh. Horrible blogger I am. Happy bokeh wednesday!

perfectly over exposed

No photoshop whatsoever, I think this photos perfectly over exposed. I've always had this love for it. I've realized I've totally been in a photography mood hm.

I think the next project I'll be working on will be design cool edgy christmas cards, maybe if your someone special I just might give you one!

design seven day website!

That's why I've been MIA with my updating, I've been working on the Design Seven Days website! It features only the top 10 work of each month as displayed here. I still have to get domain name, I've been kind of putting that off, but that will most definitely be on my list of to do's over the Christmas. Take a look!

temporarily studious

I'm temporarily studious because of my exam scheduled for this Monday, so please don't expect and update till then, so sorry.

random finds: dirty little crayon

Something random I found today at home, found my bag of crayon sitting aside in my closet. What a dirty little crayon, it doesn't even come out the color it says it's suppose to be. This is totally design worthy!

I was bored today hey.

hbw; strawberry fields forever

Happy bokeh day!

random thought: these jalapenos are hot

Random thought + beautiful birds = these jalapenos are hot.

minimalist

Minimalism, my favourite. Even with words.

verse-a-sunday: luke 18:16

Recently my family has been going through a rough time, it's good to have an awesome brother and even better an amazing God. Thank you Jesus!

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." - Luke 18:16

room full of blurry

I've been so bad at posting recently, just loaded with the last final week of school.

This video is an exploration of what the world looks like through the visually impaired eyes.

diy: band of feathers

Sorry I've been so bad at posting recently, I've been working hard at school, today was my last day. :)

Since I still have homework, whoop... I thought I'd let myself chill a little and made a little head band of feathers for myself!

I still owe you yesterday's posts, I just gotta take photos of my project, I promise to post it soon.

train song by feist and ben gibbard

For film my group made this video, I think it's pretty awesome, a world made of cardboards!

Took us about 4 hours to cut out all those cardboards, hm.

The youtube skin is really ugly huh, dang, you ruining my blog, you!

hbw; the urban cubist bokeh leaves

Two themes in one, bokeh goodness and cubist. Happy bokeh Wednesday!

the urban cubist: fly pigeon

Pigeons, hate them, or love them? This may be the last piece to top of The Urban Cubist, soon to be printed.

the urban cubist: tree leaves

My favourite one by far! Tomorrow's December, my gosh.

verse-a-sunday: hosea 14:2-4

This verse has been speaking so loudly to me because what I'm going through right now, this is exactly what I need, thank you Jesus.

We will never again say 'our gods' to what our own hands have made, for in you the fatherless find compassion." I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them. - Hosea 14:3-4

the urban cubist: fishy fish

Here fishy fishy fishy.

the urban cubist: green tree

Sorry for the delay in posting, I've had a pretty rough weekend. Here it is.

yet another oldie

This is my best friend and room mate Liberty and she's the best. She won the gold star for being the best roomie today, (because you know about the chair speeder) happy birthday love! I love you :) Both my awesome roomie's birthday's in one month woowoo!

hbw; in bokeh definition

Bam, another video!

I filmed the television at a low aperture in attempt to achieve what it'd look like in low vision. Seen in Bokeh Definition, not HD teehee. Instead of all that consumerism and brainwashing who knew that television could look so beautiful?

Happy Bokeh Wednesday.

project ambiguous beauty

Omg that took like 4 hours to upload. Like really. I finally finally finished my second Lovely Impairment video. It's called the ambiguous beauty because this ones a little more abstract, a little more experimental. Let me know what you think because I'll be missing my critique class. Enjoy!

the urban cubist: at the sea

Fishy sea smells mm.

verse-a-sunday: romans 5:3

An attempt to make such a serious verse and feeling lighthearted. Because it's meant to be, let Jesus take all your burdens. So good.

We also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, hope. Romans 5:3

22 year oldie

Happy birthday Miss. Denise Chan, today is your day! Thanks for being a best friend and room mate for 15 so years, actually no minus 2 years of grade 4 catty fight, which make it 13 years hmm. I love you dearly.

the urban cubist 3

The third one, wohoo. More to come.

fell out of habit

Ah, I almost forgot to post today, I guess I fell out of habit after not blogging for so long. I have been reworking a couple pieces from one of my projects called The Urban Cubist, because silly me I did all of them in 72 dpi. Ugh... nonetheless here it is.

hbw; triangles

Sorry for being away for so long, family matters sometimes get a lil' complex. I've missed blogging. But as promised, I have this awesome video coming up that I'm making right now. It'll be featuring all bokeh! Here's a quick shot from the piece to keep you in anticipation.

Almost forgot to say, happy bokeh wednesday!

please excuse me

Sorry to say but today will be my last post until Wed at earliest due to a family emergency. I've been saving this photo for something special, I guess this something special is today. I'll promise to make it up with an awesome design video. See you then.

Days like these

I was considering not to post today, days like these when just everything seems to crumble all it once, it's good to know that it's all in God's hands. I leave you with the cutest picture of my half baby brother taking on his birthday just the past week.

This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. -Nehemiah 8:10

the urban cubist

This piece I did for this project I'm doing called The Urban Cubist, basically the idea is that if a modern day cubist were to be around, they would see the world as such, how beautiful! Sad thing, I had already made this piece but I just found out tonight that I made it in 72dpi so I had to redo the whole thing.. boo. But now it's 300dpi already to print. (sorry about the design language)

hbw; i remember you

Today's Remembrance Day, so I though I'd dedicate a piece. Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

random thought: my milk goes bad today

So I didn't know what to do today, maybe it's because the whole day long I've been working on this annotated bibliography and it's fried my brains. Just maybe. I thought I'd start this new theme, it'll reoccur when it feel like, or simply when I'm feeling uninspired hmhm. So with the whole twitter thing, I've realized what people post... also what I post most of the time it's just random thoughts or crap, you might call it. So here I start the design my random thoughts.

font crush: orator std

Font crush time, Orator STD. I think it's going to be the next type trend thing, the thin slick skinny thing. We'll see soon if my trend forecasting is anything good.

verse-a-sunday: john14:27

Time and time again, I forget and start relying on my own strength which lead of course to anxiety and worry etc, but this peace I've been so privileged to come to know, it's the cure, it's indescribable. 

Jesus said:

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give. I do not give to you as the world gives. So do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. - John 14:27

belinda carmen love lee: brand identity

Finally I've designed a brand identity for myself, woot! Designers often complain it's like the hardest to brand yourself, so true. What font, what color, what this, that, ah so many dilemmas. It's hard to define your self, style, design, etc. with so little. Here she is, this is what defines me. Wow, scary to think of it that way.

Ps. I'm sorry about not posting on time, it's getting a little hard with school being so busy. But not to fear only 5 more weeks of school to go.

month of december

Dang I'm already done with the whole 2010 calendar, that was quick. Finally tweaks to come. Tomorrow's my 1 year old brother, look forward to good photo and footage the next few days.

month of november

Whoa, what do you think it be like a year from now, November 2010. I'll be out of school, hopefully employed or either travelling the world, crazy!

hbw; moody

Happy Bokeh Wednesday, maybe in this case sad, even bokeh's get moody sometimes. With the weather feeling so cold, I understand where their coming from.

It's getting hard to find time to fit design for this blog in with all my homework. ughh

month of october

Month of October, here it is. What omgosh, it feels like there's less months than I thought only 2 more to go.

month of september

woowoo, it's November already can you believe it. Get out. Only 5 more weeks of school left and then it's christmas.

verse-a-sunday: song of soloman 1:5

God is so beautiful, although we may be dark God still sees us as his lovely. wow.

Dark am I, yet lovely O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon, Song of Solomon 1:5

diy; my lil' pony box

Made a my lil' pony box today. What I did is basically covered a box with the my lil' pony coloring book. It covers amazingly over old boxes, notebooks etc. I mean com'on who doesn't like them, they're so adorable. The bottom photo is of 2 notebooks I covered a while back, I am such a my lil' pony girly girl.

month of august

Month of August, it's my favourite design by far, what better than blue and pink together.

OH and so exiting, so today I went shopping at Urban Outfitters and I got two books I've been eye-ing for at least 2 years on crazy sale you will never guess how cheap I got them. They're both amazing illustrative artist I've been following for years. Both the books have amazing names, Like I give a frock by Kat Macleod and 100 girls on cheap paper by Tina Bering. Original they cost all together approximately $50 but today I got them both together for only $7, really, like get out, I am so blessed. I don't usually feature other work here, but this is just way too exciting, I had to share. Go get a copy at Urban Outfitter's right now.

sneak peak

Here's a sneak peak page of an upcoming site I'm building featuring the best work on this blog, to be finished by the beginning December. How exciting!

hbw; take courage

Lesson that inspired me today: take courage. It belongs to us.

Almost forgot to say Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

month of july

5 more months to go yay.
