Gone in 60 seconds




The scene that swaps my heart is the scene in "Gone in 60 seconds”. When the main character was chased after by police. He's really a good driver. He left them behind and then he stuck in the rush hours with many cars. There is no way to get out of that. Therefore, he choose to run fast and jump over to find the way to escape. That is the scene that impresses me. When his car is flying on the sky, it feel like it's me that on the car. It gave me the feeling like I am flying. My heart stops beating at this time. The angle of the camera is very smart. It changes between the under view and the higher view. It makes the audience both get the feeling like wow! look at it as they are standing right there and look up on the car. Besides, the higher view, like the view of the main character on the car give the feeling like they actually drive that car. The angle that shows the behind of the car like the eyes is following the flying car. The scene that swaps my heart is the scene in "Gone in 60 seconds”.

I choose three different style for the word "Remmerber".
I think that the word "Remmerber" may have other meaning through the way you present it, the font, the size and the color. But for me, I just try to express it the way I feel it.

Position for orchid in card

This is another Orchid card I made on this weekend. In this card, I started to play with the orchid’s position and it was fun. As you can see in the card, the orchid looks strange and you may not recognize what is this at the first time. You may think what the hell is this?

So, you start to guess. It seems like a flower but you not sure about that you are right or wrong. You only know as you read the company name.
My idea is I want people spend more time to look at the card instead of just take a quick look at it and then forget any thing. This little trick can make people involve in the image in the card and then remember it.
