Italian Business Lunch

因為公事關係經常吃Italian Business Lunch
其實成日一邊Lunch一邊meeting一點都不享受
唯一的好處就是免費 =p
不過於星期六同gary食的Italian Business Lunch
就很輕鬆很enjoy喇
說真的食物只是一般
除了bread basket較不錯外
有很多款式而且都很好味
Angus Steak有點兒失手
medium rare 變成差不多 well done
但環境很不錯
空間大很舒適
是weekend relax的好選擇

Marketing vs Creatives

Today my fd said: since when did market researchers become creative directors? And I asked her what happened. After knowing what was the issue we had a funny sharing. I said: ‘I’ve heard someone from Marketing on phone saying “tune down the background colour by 8.5%”’. She shared: ‘I've heard "can you add 1% black?"’ and she added: ‘I can't even tell the difference’. I continued: wonder how did she define that 8.5% and what was her calculation. Some people in workplace just tried to feedback for the sake of feedback; to show others they are ‘contributing’ and reminding people of their ‘importance’.

I do not understand why those people do not leave certain decisions to the corresponding professionals. Indeed, IT specialists, creative teams, marketing professionals all have their own specialties and professional knowledge. People are designated to different areas to enhance efficiency and maximize outcomes.

Below is my first Smeg ad on Marc Newson series. Marc Newson is one of the most accomplished and influential designers of this generation. Since it is a stunning collection of Smeg appliances that Smeg & Marc bring the colours to kitchens, I picked a yellow oven to feature. The outcome is nice however the product shot could be a bit smaller. How small it should be resized? I will leave it to the graphics professionals =P

Artjam

一直很想畫油畫，但因為怕弄髒屋企，所以只在家畫下水彩。朋友小天邀請我跟她的弟弟Artjam，反正放假便一試。朋友畫的是よつば + ペンギン + ケロロ，她稱之"ずっと、追いかけて、おいかけて"。而我畫的位於鳥羽附近的二見"夫婦岩"，一個很靚很值得紀念的地方。由於不幸的日本地震災難，不知道有沒有機會再去呢。因為不想破壞這個美景，我真的很用心畫呢。

Spring finally arrived

It's already April. Yesterday was the first day I felt hot in 2011. So it's time for this black pullover to retire. But I love winter clothes more than summer ones =P

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to Mami & Dad! Sweet as always ~
