Im sort of down with a scheduled eye infection. It happened around 5 to 6 pm in the evening for both Monday and Tuesday. Had to remove the contacts and then gradually, the itchyness stops. Will see for Wednesday. Probably the infection was due to prolong wearing of contacts cos lessons for Monday and Tuesday started at 9am and lasted till around 4. Which is like 10 hours by evening. Eyes, nothing must happen to the both of you. RECOVER.

Im doing the design part of the thumbdrive product that our group wanted to come up with for the business entreprise subject. One of our unique selling point is the design of the thumbdrive and ive been busy designing. And our team has decided to go with Nbox as the name of our hipier USB storage that targets students. Why Nbox? The N can be read as Ant or End. Ant = small with means it is small while End refers that this is going to be your last thumbdrive cause you wont lose it easily with the security features and most importantly it is durable which includes reliable data transfer and is able to sustain crushforce of 3000 pounds and below.

I've been quite enthusiastic bout it. And have given quite a few thought, producing some ideas which i think was creative, out of the box and people in my group quite oppose with my ideas. Maybe its not feasible, its ok for me. But something mattered, I was enthusiastic and people poured some cold water on me. I wanted to make it a good one. And there was this kind of response that I could read from people's brain though it was not mentioned out. "This is a Business Entreprise project, think do not need to focus so much on the design aspect ba." I'll still continue to be passionate in my design. Maybe teachers also dont appreciate that, but ive put in my big big effort in it.

And one more thing that I wish to say, I do give a lot of ideas during project discussions and many of them were rejected. Especially this semester. Im ok with the rejection, though it maybe a bit hard to swallow. But I had swallowed, with minimal hard feelings. Since my ideas were rejected, when they were rejected maybe you all should have other ideas. But there were like none. And when no one could think of any idea, my rejected idea was put back in place to use again. I dont like substituition.

Groupmates reading this, no hard feelings.

Here's my design of our Nbox logo

And the graphics that i have come out with:

For the launch of Nbox, there will be 3 series of Nbox Skins

1. The Japonaise - inspired by the elegance of japanese kimono ladies targeting corporate ladies

2. Graphic Printables - a hip, non-conventional thought evoking series

3. ShoutOuts - words that convey messages, Eg. Im bitchy with days ending with Y's. (soon to be done)
