Company's Facebook Page Profile Picture

A few days ago, Xiao Chen decided to do a 'Profile Picture' design for our Facebook Page so as to make it more visually appealing. The result being:         

I felt that the design was quite nice. However, there were a few problems that I felt were significant enough to request for an editing.

In my opinion (and that of others; I asked Santhosh and Wee Ping), the font for the title was hard to read. Furthermore, the title was wrong. Instead of "Chang yong seng Hardware Company", it should have been "Chong Yeng Seng Hardware & Tools Enterprise" and appropriately capitalized. To top it off, the image was of rectangular dimensions instead of squarish dimension, which resulted in the "Thumbnail" cropping out parts of the wrench and hammer. This made it less appealing.

As such, I gave feedback to Xiao Chen and asked if he could make changes. Unfortunately, he could no longer find the .PSD (Photoshop) file. As a result, I decided to re-do a new design that was based on his. I did not ask him as he was already very tired.

Ta-daa~ After spending about 45 minutes in Photoshop, I finally managed to replicate his design and improve upon it. I had encountered a problem with cropping the images as wrenches are shiny, which make it harder for me to crop out the white space. After testing out with various wrenches, I finally found the current one which was luckily suitable.

I decided to re-use the Chang Yong Seng logo which I had already made by myself before hand for the Website so as to provide a sense of unity. I also decided to give the wrench, hammer and title a glow effect so as to make them more visually appealing. Also, the glow effect would probably carry across the message that the store's products are new, clean and of good quality.

P.S. Thanks to Wee Ping for giving feedback!

Visit to the store

Today, the three musketeers(or any cool team names to replace it with) dion, wee ping and xiao chen went to the store to take some pictures regarding the flyer santhosh is going to make. After taking the photos, we went to a study corner around marymount to crop out the images so that santhosh will have a easier time designing the flyers. Even though everyone was clearly weary due to the morning lessons, we persevered and finally completed the work. Santhosh and Evan also contributed as they continued working towards a better design for the flyers in school and Evan actively responded with constructive opinions on suggestions posted on Facebook. Alright the MRT is getting really crowded so I'm signing off.

yours sincerely,
dion

Facebook Page Thumbnail & Cover Photo

Today, 1/7/12, Wee Ping and I discussed on Facebook with regards to what we should do with the Cover Photo and the Thumbnail of the Facebook page for the Hardware Store. Originally using photos of the business card,
The original Thumbnail 

we decided to change it to pictures of the store as they were more visually appealing.

For the thumbnail, I did minor editing to the photo using Photoshop. I brightened the photo so as to make the picture slightly more visually appealing.

Also, Dion might be doing Photoshop re-designs of the Logo. Might change the thumbnail photo to his re-designs if the boss, Mr Chng gives us the approval.
