Let's Go, En.Masse!!!
This is wholly designed by me Russian mate Aleks, with me giving the minor edits to get this final version.
AIN'T IT COOL?!?! ZAAAAZHIGAAAI! XD XD XD
By now, ya'd be receiving the invite in your email inbox - couldn't resist passing it around XD; I'll post pix of the exhibition once we're done with the setup and all on the coming Thursday! >D
WHAT exactly happened:
Ben made a strange request to Aleks to do the invite. I was musing who we can pass it too - since I doubt anyone's gonna read it.
Hence, initially, Aleks and I actually can't be bothered to do it (c'mon! we got LOTS of other MUCH MORE IMPORTANT! stuff to do!)
After a few days of chasing by Ben, Aleks finally settled down to do it, and I gave my feedback crit on it - to get as what you see above XD
En.masse - it actually came from the little worn-through dictionary that had been with me since my secondary school days (yeaaaap, even angkut-ed it to the UK!). In the dictionary on page 160, [en.masse] simply carries the title "all together" - which aptly describes our group as we all have vastly distinct projects but we still come under one umbrella @ our exhibition.
Hence, we "come" altogether, y'know? Attmpeting another word play, as usual, by yours truly ;)
And heheh...our invite text in the emails we sent out came off from a familiar source (TOA people, you should be able to identify it when you read something like this last time XD XD XD), and is really, succintly put into 4 nice lines. I couldn't describe it any better >DDDD
If you have not received any from me, note me, and I'll send ASAP!
For those who can't wait (or lazy to check your mail ORZ XD;;;), the invite text reads as follows:
9 distinct projects.
1 great show.
En.Masse.
Let's get together, now.
Short, simple, and sweet - a GREEEAAAT detour from the mwaha-legendarily-long-winded Lammy XD;
Guess I'd picked up some simplicity over in the UK, after all XD;
Ben DID give Aleks a few examples (who then forwarded to me to check it out) - one's our seniors which is no offense, but is TOTAL RUBBISH UGH - I mean c'mon, of all the colours in the world, GREY BACKGROUND?!!?! =.=; and the other is this year's Fine Art's degree show at the same place - though theirs looked more like an office memorandum than a proper invitation...
But for fairness' sake...
...I still think our Batch 51's e-invite STILL ROCKS till this day >DDDD
But hey, to defend our design, we worked it out in less than 2 hours >DD HAHA!
A BIG HAND TO ALEKS AND THEE FOR ALL THE HARD WORK WE'VE DONE!!!
Now, my bed calls me. More details over the next few days on what the class, Ben, me and Aleks, Ben, my flatmate(s), PEOPLE, BEEEENNN, Zails, and uh...Ben is up to.
...I swear, Ben is DEFINITELY up to no good. *pffft*
And then I seemed to get on people's nerves today for some strange reason - from my flatmates to the printer dude to Ben and some random flat-people, even Aleks (though not as bad but still).
And Zails. Zane Zails Abigails, Dark Magician and Elementalist Extraordinaire. I think he's half-taking over my mind, and trying to seize some of my mental space which is half-inhabited by Mysso. Mysso ain't pleased, 'course (as they've had a few stand-offs....already), but Zails...
...that's where I wanna rant about something in another entry.
(And hopefully, I hope the phase is temporary...or else I WILL be in SERIOUS TROUBLE.)
Anyway, gonna go off now. Sunrise is coming (LOL I now sound like the Resident of the Night who has to go sleep before the sun rises LOL)
