very basic draft, no features, nothing yet, just pure draft of foundation/concept
Very Gonzo-esque, if you ask me, and I love it.
Animation & Design
Something I made using fractals in Blender and Photoshop.
It’s really easy and simple to do and I think it looks really cool.
The title “Ordo Ab Chao” is latin for “order from chaos”
a term often associated with Freemasonry
I was going for something really simple and concise. I guess the QR code does add a bit of intrigue and mystery. It links to this website. I love how the texts remind me of some sort of pizza delivery service or something haha. I don’t think they should be called “calling cards” still though. Social media really changes the way we communicate with each other.
The texts are too big though, I noticed now. Also the font changes make it look so unprofessional. Surely I’m gonna have to make the texts more minimalist and uniform. This is just a quick reference to preserve the idea in my head.

It’s all about packaging. That’s a marketing fact. You can have the most worthless commodity, package it well, and you’ll sell. It’s all about a great first impression. It’s all about the sad truth that many will still judge a book by its cover.
I decided to mess around with the design of my blog about libertarian political philosophy HarryLeaks:
http://harryleaks.blogspot.com
I really want this to be very attractive to my readers and to potential people I’ll be able to convince to side with me on limiting the powers and spending of the state. I put a Philippine flag, that’s always a good thing. I put three main selling points: economic freedom, individual liberty and free society (which are of course the gist of what I believe would make the world more peaceful and prosperous). Plus, a moving quote that I feel represents who I am and the content of my blog.
http://beatingthesearchengine.blogspot.com
Tweaked Beating the Search Engine a bit as well. For both blogs, I lessened the prominence of ads. Since I don’t earn as much from these blogs anyways plus there’s The Social Network stigma of “ads aren’t cool”. People don’t like it, I’ve noticed, when you are very direct about doing something for the sake of profit.
I also made the texts of both blogs bigger than before. I noticed that blogs like Thought Catalog or Cracked have large texts and I was thinking it could be some sort of attention span issue (aside of course from some of their content that’s actually good).
I’m also going to be focusing more on content, like really be in the zone, really develop the writer inside me to be effective and innovative .
I have two lives now. One in the real, physical world. Another, in cyberspace, a digital dimension, a virtual reality of sorts. Yes, I am a human being, but I have also become partly machine.
It’s an attempt to breakaway from the typical, traditional, what you see is what you get magazine covers I usually see. No pages, no headlines. Probably just fragments of concepts and ideas within the the magazine—the medium; the bearer of information. Won’t be as effective, I agree, but definitely more intriguing and mysterious. Abstract, relative, experiential.
For more on libertarianism and musings on politics and whatnot please check out HarryLeaks, my blog on that is dedicated to exposing the evils of big government and promoting the message of individual freedom. (poster design and backlink at the same time, how productive! woohoo!)
My dad said we will soon be fixing up our stairs. I volunteered to give him a design idea I had in mind and rendered a 3D model of it.

A screenshot I found in the older laptop I used before (that I am actually temporarily using right now too). I took a screenshot of it because I couldn’t really render it. I think it’s because of this laptop’s lack of power.
It’s very simple to do, actually. There are a lot of tutorials on-line and this software I use is a freeware. So really, anyone who’s interested in learning 3D animation can learn for as long as they’re really game. I know I am. I just never get to have enough time with learning anymore because of prescribed and mandatory work.
I’m working on this animation project right now. I started modeling already. This is supposedly an Ibanez S420. I used Bezier curves in Blender to make most parts of the guitar. I really need to develop my skills on lighting and animating.
