Weddings

Randy & Mercy Wedding

It's a blessing to see a lot of friends getting married this year.  For starters, wedding websites and invitations are not really my forte but I took one project over the summer.  I guess there is always a first time for everything and it's great to see the outcome of the project which is still on-going by the way.

Wedding Website


It has come to my attention that wedding websites are now part of the trend when planning a wedding.  With the help of social media it is now very easy inform everyone about the details and to keep everyone in the loop.  The article from Mashable, "7 Reasons Why You Need a Wedding Website" should give you an idea.

There's a lot of free online wedding platforms but I used Blogger instead and bought a domain.  I used the Blogger version of Memoir which was originally a WordPress theme from Elegant Themes.  The main reason I chose Blogger is that freedom to heavily customize the template to your liking.  You can view Randy & Mercy's wedding website here.

Wedding Invitation


Another part of Randy & Mercy's wedding I took to help out is their wedding invitation.  I love beautiful typography and I love the smell of paper and ink.  They said they wanted something like an airline ticket wedding invitation like this.  So by the power of Grayskull Photoshop, I printed first a draft layout to give the couple an idea of what their invitation would look like.

Folds Draft

Front Draft

Tickets Draft

The invitation consists of two sections:  the folds and the tickets.  The folds contain general information about the wedding: the when, what, how and probably why.  The tickets hold detailed names of the ceremony and the witnesses.  Funny though, as I was typing away I came across my name under the "Master of Ceremony".  If there is one thing I am not a master of, this is it.

As more details and revisions pour in, I decided to print the final draft in the couples desired color combination:  baby blue and baby pink.  Yes, I Googled those two baby colors to know what in the world are  their color hex code.  I just settled on to the nearest shade of those colors that would render the print readable.

There are still quite a few revisions I need to do but this is an overview of their wedding invitation.  Next would be making the instructions on how to print and fold these.  I should probably start a vlog!

Symbolism

Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now.  How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag?  Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies.  Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind?  Well, that makes us both.  A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.

Parley

I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens.  I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up. I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in.  Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed.  Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article.  Who wouldn't be?  But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized.  You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person.  I only found two response articles via Twitter:  " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ".  If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or

SOPA

Stop SOPA I t is not a long, upholstered couch with a back and two arms or raised ends that sits within the walls of your comfortable living room.  I believe it is a sofa?  This one is SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act.  I would want to link the article in Wikipedia but the site will be having a blackout in protest to this censorship.  So what is it?  For sure it's not as comfortable as your sofa in your living room.  Here's the gist:  there is a bill in the U.S. Senate that if passed would cripple our freedom to publish right here in the web.  Still don't get it?   Fight for the Future does it better with this video right after the jump.
