Fresh n Brite 2009

hmnn..disuru nentuin konsep FnB'09 nih..hehe

dari beberapa tema yg di tentukan, g milih tema ke-3 yaitu hari Pahlawan
kenapa hari pahlawan? karena menurut g, dari 7 tema yang di porpose, cuma tema Hari Pahlawan yang menurut g bener2 jelas. Jelas dalam arti konsep, jelas dalam arti tujuan, jelas dalam arti arah.

Hari Pahlawan jatuh pada tanggal 10 November nanti. Apa kaitan yang bisa di ambil untuk FnB'09 tahun ini?
Pertama adalah kita sendiri, 14 orang partisipan FnB'09. Kita adalah pahlawan visual, pahlawan grafis, pahlawan dunia moderen. Tanpa disadari atau tidak, kita merancang, memperbaiki, kita berimajinasi tentang segala sesuatu untuk tampil baik (atau tampil lebih baik). Kita membuat segala sesuatu menjadi terlihat lebih baik dan menambahkan value dari sentuhan yang kita berikan. Intinya kita terlahir untuk membuat dunia menjadi lebih baik (tentu dari sudut pandang yang berbeda). Logo, packaging, arsitektur, desain produk, semua tercipta atas nama kreativitas untuk satu tujuan, yaitu:

"KEHIDUPAN YANG LEBIH BAIK"

Tampil dengan tema Hari Pahlawan...tidak perlu dengan pemikiran akan konsep jadoel, serba suram, atau Merah Putih. Sekali lagi, lihat dari sudut pandang yang berbeda, see from different point of view!. kita adalah designer, maka lihatlah dengan sudut pandang seorang kreatif. Bila Pahlawan (dalam arti yang sesungguhnya) berjuang dengan pemikiran-pemikiran dan ideologi, maka kita berjuang dengan apa yang kita miliki sebagai desainer (kreatifitas, kepekaan sosial, idealisme dan pengetahuan). Bila mereka bertempur dengan senjata pistol, senapan, bambu runcing, maka kita bertempur dengan atribut desainer, mouse, pensil, wacom dll..

Visualnya tampil elegan, classy, moderen, beciri khas Binus selama ini.
dengan tagline, "pahlawan grafis" ~ "pahlawan desain" ~ "pahlawan kretivitas" (tentu masih ada kemungkinan lain).

Satu hal lagi tentang "kenapa Hari Pahlawan?"
Hari Pahlawan bukan suatu hal yang terdengar menarik di telinga anak-anak muda. Terkesan kuno, jadul, tidak gaul, atau tidak menarik untuk diikuti. Lihat dari sudut pandang yang berbeda!

Mengutip dari Bapak Danu Widhyatmoko, "Melakukan sesuatu untuk bangsa ini, tidak perlu dalam kapasitas MahaKarya.." saya setuju, dan mengakui tulisan ini sungguh menginspirasi

Hari Pahlawan juga bisa dikemas dengan spetakuler, megah, bersahaja, elegan dan moderen. FnB'09 bisa menjadi kesempatan untuk mewujudkan itu, menjadi media yang mengingatkan lagi kaum muda seperti kita ini tentang Hari Pahlawan. Kita bisa menciptakan Hari Pahlawan yang luar biasa, dan Hari Pahlawan itu adalah hari pahlawan versi DKVbinus 2009.

Kita lihat OLIMPIADE BEIJING.
Tanpa mengecilkan makna sebuah kompetisi, apa yang membuat sebuah pertandingan olahraga seperti Olimpiade lebih "Agung" dan "Sakral" dibanding PON ataupun kompetisi olahraga bergengsi dalam taraf nasional?

jawabannya adalah tentang apa yang terkandung dalam value Olimpiade itu sendiri
Olimpiade adalah pengabdian terhadap bangsa, Nasionalisme, Martabat dan Harga diri Bangsa.

dan hal serupa juga terjadi di FnB'09 kali ini. Karena bertepatan dengan momen Hari Pahlawan Nasional, dan juga tentu saja satu dasawarsa DKV binus. tentu saja ini akan menambah value kedalam FnB'09 tahun ini, yang kemudian membedakannya dengan FnB tahun-tahun sebelumnya.

gudluck FnB'09

another kind of life

it is almost 2 weeks already i work in my new office, Waykambas.
Office hour starts from 9 to 6, Monday to Friday, so far everything just going fine, unless the "trip" to the office. Beside it is so far away from my residence, i have to struggle with the traffic almost in every morning. i really get exhausted every time i reach the office. But, at last i get some routine to do every week, it is much more better than laying down lazily in my bed.

from Monday to Friday, everything just fine, unless with the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Suddenly, i just realize 24 hours is to long to spend without doing nothing (well, sometimes, i wish there is no weekend).

Wake up, generally at 9 A.M ... what else to do? no friend around my residence, some of them has already went back to their hometown, some of them just separated away in a distance with me. I spend almost 48 hours of my weekend alone.

God...i beg a mercy on You. Forgive me if i am easily grumbling with my condition. i just want another kind of life, another life, better than this kind of ordinary life. But You know me the best, You know what i need and what should i have, but if i could say a prayer, let me taste a colorful life, i just want a better quality of life. i am tired been waiting but let it happen according to Your Plan. Not my plan, but Yours..

private things, and not for public use... @.@

ok, first of all...please, this is just a personal opinion, actually no offense at all..hahaha

i don't know why, but it is really hard for me, quite difficult to lend some of my personal things, private things sincerely.

such as my laptop, or my bike...fine, i know sometimes, we should consider the situation...but it does not mean that any time u need my laptop, i'm the only one in the whole world who provides what u need...like: burn, print, or others...

i don't know, every the very first time i lend my things, and next, it will be so easy to say "hey, i want your laptop, i need to bla bla bla...." in other occasion...

and as usual, it is not easy for me to say "no"...at last, i usually say "yes", but with a hard feeling..

perhaps because, when i do something, i always rely on myself, i always use the whole ability and the incapability that i have

in a short one "as long as i could do anything by myself, i will never be a burden to anybody"

hahaha....let you translate this whole posting in a short sentences that available below:

a. i'm just jealous, because whenever you do something, it seems easy because everything you need have been already available...u just say "hey, i need your bla bla bla"

b. i'm a self centered personality

c. i'm have a personal conflict with myself

d. it is difficult to give the things that you really care to anybody

e. ok, it is just about privacy. privacy is privacy, not for public

f. or perhaps you have another opinion?? just leave any comment please :)


ok, once again, this is just a personal opinion..no offence at all, you also have your own opinion, right?

the point of doing some freelance....

First of all, i think it might be nice to have a freelance job...you earn some money, another portfolio, and an experience about managing your time and your deal with a client. haha, sounds nice hah ??

yeah...i was so excited by the first time i do this job. My friend, who are boyfriend of my friend's sister (what ever), asked me to do his flash portfolio. Well, honestly, i was a little bit doubtful to take this order, because i'm not concern with multimedia design (flash, XML, website, please dude...i'm really sucks with those). But i need some more money at that time, so..at last, i said yes for the order..

no what? actually i have done the job, and of course the money i had already deal with..

But, there is an error, and now i have to fix it...it is not an error that you could fix it in a day, i have to re-do the whole job exactly from the beginning...damn, i hate this...

after i have done with my last project in college, now i have something else to do while i want the rest of this month to spent just by fixing my dorm room, repainting the wall in my room, do something fun, not stuck in front of my computer like this!

yeap, part of life story..next time, if you are not sure with the job even at the first time it is ordered to you, just be brave to say no (except, if you think the money worth enough for you)

...i'm not said that the money is not worth it, but if you are not enjoy while you do something, so where is the point of having some money?? this is not fun anymore....damn..just get it done as soon as possible

selengekan (se-le-ngek-an)?

Selengekan (se-le-ngek-an)

buat g cuma masalah annoying dan ga annoying aja. ga annoying kalau se-le-ngek-an nya pada waktu dan tempat yang semestinya. Tapi kalau dikantor? please, jangan deh, itu ga enak dilihat.

Mungkin kerjaan banyak, kerjaan numpuk, order ngantri dan deadline mepet. Tapi buat g lebih enak kalau terlihat kalem aja, jgn ngeluh ngesah terus deh kesemua orang yang lewat.

Atau mungkin g tipe orang yang lebih milih tenang, kalem, ga heboh cas ces cos. haha, atau jangan2 ini cuma masalah beda personality aja? haha, tapi tetap aja, yang namanya "ga pada tempatnya" biasanya ga enak dilihat, hehe. tul ga? :)

berapa harga Tugas akhir mu?

Berapa total uang yang dihabiskan untuk sebuah skripsi mahasiswa desain?

Ya, namanya juga skripsi (lebih akrab disebut TA a.k.a Tugas Akhir oleh mahasiswa desain), sebuah rekam masa pembelajaran 4 tahun, 8 semester di kampus, tentu saja mesti jor-joran. Jor-joran disini tentu saja harus efisien dan efektif, Jor-joran yang "pintar" atau mungkin lebih bermakna "do your best" untuk arti sebuah tugas akhir.

Mulai dari mencari topik, survei, proses kreatif, hingga finishing, semua ada harga yang harus dibayar. Tentunya saja tidak bakal semudah, semurah, segampang tugas-tugas pada semester awal perkuliahan. Pertanyaannya, Sampai lingkup manakah biaya yang kita keluarkan itu dikatakan masih dikatakan wajar, masuk akal, efektif dan efisien?

Ya semua balik lagi ke kita. Seperti apa ekspektasi kita dengan TA kita sendiri. Ada yang sekedar mengejar lulus, ada yang mengejar freshnbrite, semua sah-sah aja kok selama kita tidak pernah menyamakan TA dengan tugas kuliah semester 1 2 3 .

Mungkin semua sudah di siapkan sedemikian mungkin agar biaya tidak membengkak dan hasil akhirnya bagus. Tapi tetap saja semua tidak akan pernah berjalan mulus tanpa hambatan. Paling terasa mungkin waktu sudah masuk tahap finishing. Kepala kita mungkin lebih mudah mengingat biaya print dll daripada urusan lainnya.

Baru-baru ini saya merasakan bagaimana rasanya "membuang-buang uang" di salah satu digital printing di benhill. Rencananya mau ngeprint ukuran A2 2 lembar, A3 2 lembar (dengan uang sudah pas-pasan). Ternyata hasilnya sangat mengecewakan, tidak ada satupun kalibrasi warna yang pas dari semua yang diprint, warnanya beda, "loncat indah" deh dari warna yang diharapkan. Gilanya lagi, tidak ada kebijakan (entah itu potongan harga, atau print ulang). Semua hasil print yang gagal total tadi harus ditebus lunas. Diperparah lagi, karyawan yang sangat tidak bersahabat, bisa dimaklumi mungkin tidak banyak yang bisa dilakukan oleh seorang "karyawan", tapi tetap saja pelayanan yang baik dengan senyum ramah lebih enak dilihat daripada muka jutek, sudah emosi ditambah ngeliatin muka yang jutek masam, sumpah itu ngeselin habis.

Setelah berbagi cerita dengan teman-teman, ternyata banyak yang punya pengalaman ga mengenakan tadi. Bahkan di tempat percetakan digital yang sudah dicap profesional. "Bisa mas, tapi dikenakan biaya tambahan" itu yang sering didengar. Pada kondisi tertentu, mungkin bisa dimaklumin. Tapi kalau hasil akhir tidak sesuai dengan disepakati diawal, apa bisa dianggap pantas "harga lebih" yang dibayar tadi?. Pada akhirnya TA mahasiswa desain lebih seperti musim "panen uang" untuk percetakan tadi. Sejujurnya selama mengerjakan TA ini, mungkin semuanya sudah diatur agar jadinya beres dan lancar. Tapi terkadang masalah tidak datang dari mahasiswa itu sendiri.

Ya, setelah menghitung total semua Bon dan bukti pembayaran dari tempat printing, jumlahnya sangat tidak wajar, tidak seperti ekspektasi awal estimasi biaya.

Pada akhirnya mungkin cuma kata "Yaaah...mungkin ini harga yang harus dibayar untuk sebuah tugas akhir" yang bisa menghibur diri. Gila ya? berapa biaya tugas akhir lu???
