Fungus Workshop

Today I went to fungus workshop to learn how to do hand stitching for leather. And after those leather and tools introduction, I feel like ... I should love my college more. They are not even using clicking knife, but if it just for fun, it was fun.


This is my 1st product, it shows simplicity! lols

Vintage/Old

After reading the book, My HK, I was inspired by the Old Hong Kong, especially the tiles for the interior. As Hong Kong is carrying out the Urban Renewal policy to create quality and vibrant living, the 'OLD HONG KONG' may extinct in several years and become a pure urban international financial city, which is in every foreigner's mind (I do think they do not know the actual face of Hong Kong if they havent been to here). To preserve these invaluable culture, I decided to go around Hong Kong for some photos. Here is the 'old Hong Kong style cafe'- Mido Cafe.



Love the hand writing bill:) I will keep uploading photos of the HK to stimulate my mind! And my next destination is the old HK style decor Starbucks in Central. Hasta luego, adios.

Clocks by Stefan Strumbel

Love the COLOURS.

Logo Logo

I have chose 6 fonts for the final selection for my logo. And I do think there are so many other company who had already registered as 'em' or even 'em's', so I have came up with a new name - 'EMEI', which is a combination of 'em'ily & 'mei' yee (my English & Chinese name). Which one do you prefer?:)



Gobi make this for me, so beautiful!:) I think it needs a little amend then it can be my offical logo, yeah!



All fonts from dafont

Innovative Resume

Those resume are so cute:) I should make one, but it will defo be blank! lol

A Brand

To be honest at this stage, 'Establishing a Fashion Brand' is my purely imaginary and it is just a 'concept' & 'name' for my final year collection only. I know that it is not easy to make it real, it should involved many many many effort, experiences & money. So, pls do give me some time, maybe 10 years lol. I WISH it may come true sometime. Here is a "Strategy of establishing a fashion brand" interview of a designer who work in the Hong Kong fashion industry for 17 years. Actually what he had said is exactly the same as the marketing course which I took in PolyU before ... All of them are just items listed on books. So I do think experiences & networking are the most important elements for the success. Oh, for the logo, i found that 'Impact' (with tracking:25 & horizontally scale:120%) is quite good for me, it is simple still cute as barely rounded shape. Here you are:



Yet I will try to explore some more fonts for the final selection. And today I saw a book - My HK - which is tailor made for my project!! Gotta buy it tomorrow in G.O.D, a company who provides an eastern derived lifestyle concept. Sleep well, adios:)

Registration for Trademark in Hong Kong

Here comes to the last summer break of my 21 years school life:( (if I dun take MA) I do think I should spend my time meaningfully lol. Especially after having the final year briefing in jps, I am so stressed. Even when I was having lunch with Jessie & Steven, 3 of us were so confused - What should we do for our final year collection? After a few days thinking, I came up with an idea (will type it later in the following post). Generally, it starts as a totally new brand. I really want to have my own brand as a designer or for my career, I think the first step should be register legally for a trademark, which i will use it for my entire life, so the name is very important. 'em's', 'emem' & 'em.em' (yeh, im childish with no doubt) are my priorities, but still I have to search in the IPD online search system see if they have been registered by the others yet. Also I found that the Goods/Services Classification No.25 is the best list for me, it includes various kinds of footwear & clothing. Now I should find a font for my logo. Adios:)
