This might be longest description I ever made...

First of all, this is a design for my El Filibusterismo summary notebook. I'm too lazy (and busy) to cut designs from colored paper and other crafts materials.

CONCEPT AND DESIGN:
I have to admit that its mostly random doodles (I guess its my way of expressing myself and shows what I have in mind). Doodling random shapes and stuff are what I do when our Algebra teacher begins to share his monologue-slash-homily during classes.

Back to the topic. If all of you would notice, there are 4 things that are repetitive in my art. Those are my (the what I call) "symbolism's". Despite doing random doodles, I never forget putting those 4 things.

Hearts:
People say that I'm a lovable person. Even though my friends are in a gap, I'm the one who connects them back to each other (because I'm at nobody's side). During free time, me and my whole class conducted a "truth forum" (where all people will say good and bad things they observe at the certain person). When I was the next topic, all of my classmates said the almost same thing: "they hate my moody side, but other than that, they don't see anything in me to be hated because I'm friendly. And they described me as a lovable person. So I used hearts because its a symbol of love.

Stars:
My favorite shape. I used this as symbolism of my cheerfulness and energetic personality. These characteristics of mine are (according to them) my most notable uniqueness. I love to smile (even my teeth aren't that white anymore) and they see it as cute.

Arrows:
I like to go on many directions and adventures, in short, I'm a person who likes to go out. But I don't go out that often, and I only go out when there's a place worth to go (and take pictures) and I usually go home late than what I promised (since I love to take home delicious delicacies ). I guess that also puts me into different kinds of trouble. Regardless of that, I count it as a part of my adventure.

Musical Symbols and Words:
I'm a music-lover. Even though the songs are not popular, I try myself to find songs not only with good tunes, but also with meaningful lyrics. I associate my life with songs. And even use it as suggestion for my other classmates. I usually put a part of the lyrics of a song in my doodles (depending on the art itself and my mood). So you'll notice that there are some phrases of different songs appearing in my art. While doing this, I was listening to music in my mp3 and the songs boosted my imagination to draw stuff and things that I reflect from the song (so music is my inspiration for design). Here goes (I'm too lazy to provide the links so I'll give the song and artist):

Love - I'm Yours (Jason Mraz)
Just - Just Dance (Lady Gaga)
Dream - Never Had A Dream Come True (S-Club 7)
Pop - United State of Pop 2009: Blame It On The Pop (DJ Earworm)
I Just Need Somebody To Love - Somebody (Justin Bieber)
Don't Call My Name - Alejandro (Lady Gaga)
Gee Gee Gee Baby Baby - Gee (SNSD)
You're Nothing But A Womanizer - Womanizer (Britney Spears)
Blah Blah Blah! - Blah Blah Blah (Ke$ha)
I'm Alive - I'm Alive (BECCA)
Brand New Sound - Oh! (SNSD)
Oh Oh Oh Oh! - Oh! (SNSD)
Oh My Gosh - OMG (Usher)
You Better Run - Run Devil Run (SNSD)
Solo - Solo (Iyaz)
S.O.S. - S.O.S. (Rihanna)
Let's Get Wild - Wild (Namie Amuro)
Po-po-po Poker Face - Poker Face (Lady Gaga)

No longer giving the other songs since phrases and words seen in my art came from the songs I mentioned. The other songs squeezed out my creative juices and I just drew what I imagine out from them.

THE GIRL:
It's me (though we're not the same)...! Sorry if the body is not at least until the waist. But I'm sure you can see clearly that she's wearing a cute dress with a matching ribbon on the head. I don't dream of wearing that anymore, but its what my parents wear to me when I was a kid. And until now, some of my friends are demanding to see me in that kind of outfit (not in a million years!!!). So the girl is a child version of me. Even though I made this before I knew about the challenge, I always draw myself as a kid blowing bubbles (maybe because my childhood memories were the best and most unforgettable - and I love bubbles too!). So its just coincidence that I drew myself as design for my project. I just hope my classmates won't notice it...

--------

So there! Its just a design for my project and I decided why not share it here? I only drew as design (I just said that didn't I?) on an orange colored paper glued on my notebook (though red is my favorite...). OMG! I have nothing else to say about my work aside from the fact that it reflects who I am.
