It's really nice to know that you're passionate about the environment too. Sometimes I wonder why some couldn't care much about the environment and are so self-centered. Thanks for the compliments! @thecoffeesnob: Thank you! Happy lunar new year to you too - I hope you're having a great time over there too. @Nel: Thanks Nel :) you're tops! @med: Thank you! @Wendy: Oh yea, you'll see it on campus but I'm not sure whether they had placed the posters over at NIE. Due to different administrative systems I guess you won't be seeing mine over there, haha! Anyway, I'm opearting this palm messages booth at Canteen A (which is pretty near to NIE) and do drop by if you have time ;) @abdusfauzi: Thanks! @Iva: Oh wow, that’s awesome Iva!

Afterall, it's the idea and message that matters, right? @Shrew: Thank you! I don't think much will even notice that it existed since the posters were up pretty last minute and our event is right after a long weekend, where everyone will be skipping school and staying at home *laughs* @Jas: Thanks :D @aronil: It's the tutorial that taught me the basics of creating a typographic poster - so I feel compelled to link it as a way of saying thanks to Chris who've spent time writing it. @Bob: I hope I didn't sound too desperate! In fact, I combined two motives together - while the main aim is to promote environmental awaress, I've made sure that I'll try to cudgel people towards a green lifestyle through the poster too. That's killing two birds with one stone... no, poster. @Destiny: I picked green because that's the best colour representing our cause, heheh. Oh wow your brother is a designer too? Awesome! @Katy: Type posters are my favourite... I love everything that deals with typography! I think it's an art ignored by many. @sue: Thank you Sue! You can try that out for your magazine poster heheh. I've sent you an email containing my MSN email address :) @GenYong: Happy Chinese New Year to you too! Thanks for the compliments anyway, heh. Have fun and enjoy the holiday! First of all, a big thank you everyone for your generous compliments :) *bows*

I'm so totally in love with <a href="http://www.marcofolio.net/video/15_stunning_motion_typography_videos.html" title="15 stunning motion typography videos" rel="nofollow">motion/kinetic typography</a> but sadly I lack the expertise to do videos that are so amazing (my favourite pick will be the Ocean's Eleven one). I wouldn't say mine is the best... I don't quite like mixing three different colours together but I guess in order to get the message across, it's necessary that I make a visual distinction between the three different types of phrases, heh. I should've included a secret message within the poster - not as if anyone will know unless I tell them or if they scrutinize closely. Nobody knows who did the poster but that's a great way to stay low :) The PSD file is around 130MB big, and it's a big pain in the ass to load it in PS3 (and on my stupid Vista machine). I heard that it loads faster in PS4 because the newer version also uses the graphic card to speed up loading. And when I tried to reposition all the text en-masse, my computer suffered a really bad lag that lasted for 3 minutes. Not to mention the messy hierarchical arrangement of each layer into different folders :P @ember: Thank you… actually I’m a fan of everything that deals with typography.
