Remembering Steve Jobs

Monica Yoo — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:05:16 +0000

A true visionary, innovator and creative. He will be missed.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

- Steve Jobs

Doodling, FTW!

Growing up, my mother has always told me I was a doodler and writer. I didn’t believe her until she pulled out a giant box full of notebooks, sticky notes and scratch paper with squiggles, diagrams and random thoughts written down that spanned from my childhood and throughout my college years. Two thoughts ran through my head. 1) “Wow, my mom saved all this stuff?” and 2) “Wow, what was I thinking??”

Good to know that all that brainstorming and doodling was productive. =)

Experimenting with Lenses

I recently got the 50mm f/1.8 G lens and took it to Discovery Green to test it out.

These were my favorite pictures from the evening.

The 3 A’s of Awesome by Neil Pasricha

This TED talk really cheered me up today. I had never heard of Neil Pasricha or his blog, 1000 Awesome Things, but he does an amazing job reminding us of how much we have to be happy and appreciative about.

Definitely flashin’ a big smile right now. =)

Making Pop to Classical

Just discovered a classical musical group called Aston. They’re a group of six young members from Sydney Conservatorium of Music that transforms pop music into a classical masterpiece. I love it!

Compare the original to the Aston version.

Kinetic Typography

Monica Yoo — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 01:28:46 +0000

I’ve always been into typography because it’s more than just shapes of the words, it conveys a tone that can’t be expressed by words alone. This why you can express anger by using big and bold font and happiness through curly font. Kinetic typography combines this quality with the storytelling ability of animation that makes it fun and entertaining.

It’s interesting to also note the impact that typography has in branding and identification. The video below shows several examples of this. You’ll be surprised how many brands you can identify just by the typography. See for yourself!
