"Designing is never as pressure as design for your own; as pleasured as u received ur own design."

Weeee, been enjoying to be a King of no one, no where n' NO MONEY (to be specific, i'm not saying i don't have a penny in my pocket, just frequently felt that i've lack of it, haha!) Despite the fact that i've had a lil' financial difficulties, i'm still happy with it, for once hahaha!! Although i don't have a permenant job at the moment, but i'm also not taking for granted n' live life lifeless, i do compose my ideas in plan, construct n' work them out, trying my best to proceed them to the next level as now i've had all the time/space that i'd wanted to, if i didn't put them in action now, i can't see foresee the next anymore.
I'd listed them in a to-do-list, the very first thing i wanted to make it was my very own business card that able to resembling me, my style, my capability, my strength n' most essential, my mindspace. The concept was established yet the direction wasn't clear. So, i'd spent one whole day doing research n' any possible reference works that you'd ever think of it. One whole folder of reference was collected after an effort of one whole day googling, i finally started to create a blank AI-artboard in a midnight, approximately 1 a.m., putting drafts on my artboard.
I was curious how the other designers they start a design but individually, i'd a zeal on mocking up logo/mascot/heading before anything else, its a routine for me, as i always believe that they are resembling something, perhaps a hint/guidance that lead you to the next stage. Well, talk about my very own lgo, i've had this idea/concept very long ago, its to play with my Surname- Goh. :D Can you think of anything folks? Well, i'd want to clarify that i'm a crazy dude which don't give a damn to all the R'(Religion view, Rules n' Regulations n etc.), i've always wanted to optimize the small alphabert 'h', transform it into somehow or rather a mix of 'h' n' 'D' (get me? hehehehe). In conclusion, it will be transofmred from GOHinto GOD; However, i'd shifted the "O" away n' replaced it with double ':' as i want every of my audience maximize their creativity when they saw my business card, its a kickstarter!
The question is pretty simple, what could you imagine when you saw a statment like this- "G: :D"?
It doesn't took me long to mock up the logo as i'd foresee it in my mind far long ago. The rational for "G: :D" is simple.
1) as a designer, we're meant to be creative n' sensitive, and illustrate "GOH" into "GOD" to the audience simply shows the magic of creativity(at least i believe that haha, don't you? Simple is Beauty, my dad often says it.), n' its pretty funky i'd say n' thats me!
2) if only you noticed, GOH CHOON HO has 4 "O(s)" in a row, aren't it simply fullfil the act of ": :" n' resembled my identity?
3) as my title is Graphic Designer, i believe you could visual it through "G: :D" aren't you?
Depite the fact that everything seems to be well-routined, but it still took me a 2 days to processed, and till now it only claimed as a 99% work by me, i'm still finetuning it. (a big laugh) Guess a designer never satisfy easily, they're diehard comrades.
"Designing is never as pressure as design for your own; as pleasured as you received your own design." Quote me.



G : : D
(p/s: There will be some sneakpeak for my "G: :D" business card. hope ya'll like it.)
I ♥ Design as much as I ♥ my life,
