Bakti Luhur Cover

In every single RCS project, each class has to make their own paper, in conclusion of our project. And as always I get to design the front cover (including the back cover).

Bakti Luhur Project (rcs 2014)

Its not very long since the last RCS project we had in grade 10. This time, we have a joint operation, joining 3 IG classes in 1 huge event. It was an idea that has its ups and downs but either way, all of us has to manage, somehow.

Some while back I also helped out in surveying the place, which is Bakti Luhur. The place is immense and huge. The place was actually quite peaceful, for an orphanage. There were around 80 elderly and 100 children living in it, so I think that it should be big. Though, out of the 100 children, around 80% percent were mentally disordered and from what I've been told, they were mostly abandoned by their parents on the streets and picked up by nuns.

Before the big event starts, we all have to gain money, per class. My class, 10IG1, supposedly gave out 'gorengan' or fried street foods to those who are willing to donate. Its more like, "You give you get" rather than selling. I participated in the selling, promoting from one end to another. It was quite fun actually, walking to people and persuading them to donate to us.

Then goes to the phase where we had to purchase the items to donate. These items also include:
-Diapers
-Snacks
-Water dispenser
-Food
-Soap
-Tooth paste

I also helped buy some of the items at Indogrosir, which was my pleasure in doing so.

The event did go smoothly and I helped pray for the elderly, one by one in the house in stationed in. The elderly were happy, they loved seeing young children pay a visit once in a while. So, I think that the event went on okay, with its troubles and happiness.

Prime Music Guitar Competition (2013)

5th of November 2013 marks the day I joined my first guitar solo competition. It was a nerve wrecking day, I must admit. And knowing that I was playing something thats a bit off from my main style (fingering, contemporary). The competition went on smoothly and I did well, for my current skills. And after training, and practicing all day long, for a couple of weeks, I managed to gain the 3rd prize for the competition. I didn't really joined the competition for the prizes, so it doesn't matter if I won 1st,2nd,3rd or even not winning at all. Its all for the experience.

Recent Debate Competition

My most recent competition participation had just ended last month. It was a sudden debate competition. Wait a sec, Clara in a English competition? New eh? I didn't know what I was doing anyways at that time. One day Laura told me that there were open slots for the debate group and I spontaneously said yes. It was already 1 week before the competition and I had no idea what a real debate competition was like. Also, the reason that two members of the grade 10 debate team, Michelle SW and Laura dropped out is that they were afraid they could not catch up with the mock exams. They also thought that it would be best to leave the competition opportunity for the scholarship students. T minus 3 days before the competition, I just figured out that there were these so called first speaker, second speaker, and third speaker. I never knew there was a format. All I know about debating is arguing with people and proving they're wrong. Oh how clueless I was back then. Its funny to give a moment to remember that me and Aileen only had 3 days of practice right before the big day.

Finally, when actually participating on D-Day, we knew that we had to have all possible research carried out. This is mostly because that we are not going to be given a topic, not until 30 minutes before the debate. We had to squish it all out in 30 minutes, write every single possible points for our cause (Government or Opposition). Long story short, it was an awesome, tense, emotional battle. Our 'enemies' were actually quite nice, and we became friends. In the end we got to the semi finals before we were totalled by Gloria 1.

ICAS Competitions

Last year, in 2013, I was hand picked to participate in the ICAS. Not only one category but two. Making me the only girl that gets chosen for both competitions. In my opinion, I think that I can proudly say that I did well in both. Both of the results showed credit and me being in the top 25 percent (around 25 percent for both certificate results). In addition, this is my fifth ICAS competition, making me one of the most experienced in ICAS. Even though I did not win any medals, I still crave one. I want to win another one, if possible, a gold medal. So for me this is still a good step for success, and a lesson for me to do better.

More and More Logos

Recently I've been making quite a few logos for different occasions. These first two logos are for the photography competition of CHileague 2014. I was the PIC of that sector and so I felt like making a logo for it.

As for these two last logos, these are just logos made for fun. The last one is for my dear friend Michelle, who was thinking of opening a youtube channel. To make a 'professional' looking channel, I insisted that she needed a logo. And so, BAM, a logo was made. 

More Recent Logos

Recently I've been making a logo, and succeeded according to the customer's (my friend) wants. He runs a YouTube channel and wants to get an original profile picture.

His Channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PrhEiJJ6auEQ95ZnKg1-g

 This is a bday gift from me to Aileen, who just turned 16 a few days ago.

 A logo of a dragonfly, which I originally though about it being a pair of beautiful wings.

 A tribal logo which I plan to make a picture with this, using photoshop

Aileen and The Green Tea Latte

As a band we have to contribute to the Band and with my experience in logo design, I designed the Band logo and each of the instrument's logo. These logos were each printed out in the back of our uniformed shirts.

RCS Project, Once Upon A Dream

Once Upon A Dream, was the tittle that we used in 10IG-1's recent community service project. We collected donations, both money and items for the children who went to TK Kartini. While we were at the place, we also made a 'party' for them. We held games and prepared prizes. At the end of the event, we also gave out free lunchboxes to the children that also contained fried rice.

I was pointed as the head of donations and was also asked to create the poster. The end result of the paper had the same similar designs of the poster.

Christmas time!

The tittle is somewhat a lie, its already January and its WAY past Christmas time. Whatever, I am still going to post something related to Christmas. These two pictures were drawn on the time when the teachers asked us to make a sticker and letter decoration;both also has relation with the famous character, Rudolph.

Site Design

Regarding the site design itself, no I did not use any pictures from the internet. I was thinking of a more original approach on things. It did take a while because of all the details that is involved but I managed to make a tribal dragon design for the header and tribal flames for the background itself. 

Logos

Using the digital media, I can now create logos as I desire. Usually its all using rulers and such in traditional media, but now its a whole new level. The possibilities are endless.

A Small Contribution,..

A couple of months ago, I joined Survarium (a game)'s forum community. In that community I've contributed a lot of my ideas and art to the forums. Speaking about the community, I made a small something that describes a part of the daily life in the forums.

note: BurezuWolf is my user.

Digital Art Pictures

These pictures were based of from characters. The last one is an original character of mine.
