New art works

In this entry, I will show you my newest designs that I have just finished today.

My girl friend is now doing the marketing plan for Canon IXUS 80IS she asked me to design a cover of any magazine in which Canon IXUS 80 IS is promoted as a hot product to attract more customers. Actually, this is the first time I try to design the cover of a magazine so at the beginning I have so much difficulties and i did not know how and where should I start to design. In my opinion, the use of color and the compositon in this design are not so good but I am satisfied with my work.


The second work is the ads that I design for my team in BE2 class. The product is QGirl New York, a cosmetic line products of ICP Company. This ads was designed to promote QGirl New York on the magazines. I decided to use the very simple design but attractive so I only added the logo and the slogan of the product.

Sunny 16 Rule

In photography, how to get o right exposure is very important and it is not an easy work to do. To day, with the help of new technology and the arrival of DSLR, photographers have much more ease to get the right exposure. However, even the newest DSLR of Nikon, Canon, Sony etc.. can just give photographer the acceptable exposure to their photos. In this entry I will show you how to use Sunny 16 rule as a guide to exposure without a light meter.

Set your aperture to f/16 and set your shutter speed accord to your ISO film speed.
For example: for ISO film 100 you should set your shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125. Actually, the shutter speed will not exactly equal to film speed but try to set it as close as possible to the film speed

There are the elaborated forms of Sunny 16 rule to use in different lighting conditions :
