Hello, my name is Tin Ning.

LOL OK. My final project (a poster for our imaginary exhibition) for "typography fundamentals" was actually featured in TOA's website. Check the 7th page of this link.
I'm gonna printscreen the page since it will probably be the first and last time my work is ever featured on TOA's website because I have this amazing ability to remain invisible.

Do you see anything funny about that page? Do you? In case you don't, lemme slap the mistake into your face :


I don't quite understand how they could've made that mistake, my name was clearly imprinted on the poster. I've lost count the number of times people misspelled my name. Lemme see:
-My nametag(s)
-Pustakawan certificate
-Senior page in high school's yearbook-I'm not surprised about this though, I've always been the Wallflower in that class, not that I care, I've never liked most of my classmates (especially the guys, retards who only knew how to bully the autistic kid in my class)

Lim Yin Ming, Lim Ying Ning, Lim Yee Ning, Lim Ying Ning, Lim Tin Ning and so on and so forth. Somehow, people find my name very fun to toss around, I don't blame them though, but if my name was already clearly written for you, I don't see how you could have made that mistake.

Anyways, the poster. I have to say that class was something like a nightmare, we had to rush our works often, and the lecturer had a fairly short temper, sometimes, some of us had to react quickly to placate him/her before s/he exploded, kinda like rushing to grab a thrown grenade that had its pin removed to be lobbed back at the enemy before it gets the chance to explode.



I'm gonna tell you what the concept is:
-the butterfly symbolises life and beauty, just like the cobweb, which is beautiful especially when there's dew on it
-the cobweb- it traps insects which will later become the spider's food, harsh, but something necessary
-the leaves were where the butterfly once seeked shelter and food as a caterpillar, now the leaves have "betrayed" the butterfly by supporting the spider's web
-this seemingly harsh cycle of nature is to represent life itself, where it sometimes suck but is oftentimes beautiful, hence the title "beautiful life"

Well, it's up to you whether you want to read it or not, it's just to make myself happy, since I did not say most of this in my presentation out of fear at being laughed at, this is something I do often because I feel so self conscious and insecure when I have to present something I did so I'll just rush through and only tell the small bits when I've put so much effort and thought into my work, which often results in my work sounding shallow and boring. It's a curse, I can't help myself. Why why why why why?
