20/20 presentation
























My 20/20 presentation is about my Disney collection. Walt Disney once said, “Laughter is timeless, Imagination has no age and dreams are forever”. This quote is one of my favorite quotes. Disney characters  inspires me a lot and its brings out the kid in me.

The first picture is a picture of me when I was 6 wearing a Minnie mouse t-shirt. Like all kids I was in love with mickey and Minnie mouse a lot. I watched every single movie and read every single magazine Disney produced, Each movie was different than the other have different values, morals and lessons . What I really like about Minnie mouse character is her loving, sweet and sensitive personality.

The second picture is my high school file. I took a lot of art classes and I used to keep my pencil drawings in this file , also I used to draw on my books and notebooks and at the end of each year I crop all the pages which has my drawings and keep it in this file .

Third, the tinker bell Mug. I love all the Disney mugs. I have maybe more than 10 different mugs. This mug was my university mug. I used to drink from it when I study. What I like about this mug is the way they did the imposing and the bright green color.

Forth, Minnie mouse ears head band. I bought this headband in 1996 and I still have it. For me Minnie mouse represent the cute innocent girl who is happy and fun all the time and loved by everyone. This picture was taking in my little cousin birthday. It was a “ Minnie mouse theme birthday party. I was the party planner.

Fifth , Hakuna matata Henna Tattoo . Hakuna matata it means no worries for the rest of your days. I love this phrase a lot. It motivates me a lot. Every time I hear the song I smile. It changes my mood.

The colors the materials everything is well made. Those stuff really inspires me , the little details on the stuff I collect is a big inspiration for me .

Eightieth, Plasters, I always put a pack of plasters in my purse, maybe because I’m the oldest and I always take the kids out. So I buy colorful plasters. Once I was in the underground and a man was setting in front of me and his finger was injured so I opened my purse and give him a plaster, so the one I pulled out was a Minnie mouse plaster, so I told him to wait and give him a goofy one, and he start laughing.

Ninth , My Mickey Mouse pen. I just love all their stuff; it takes me to a different world full of colors and characters. Every time I enter a Disney store I start collecting all the stuff , everything attracts me .
Tenth , Ohana means family . family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten . My family is the most important thing in my life . I love this quote and loved the movie a lot .

Wall of wishes by Gordon Young , in Bristol Brunel Academy .


The Bristol Brunel Academy is one of the schools that was rebuild in the city under the tomorrow's school project . Everything in this school is new and modern . The school also is covered by a wifi network , so it is the school of the future . When they finished the project they asked Gordon Young to do an art work that shows the spirit of the students and the school , so he went to the school and did a workshop with the student , and then he got inspired to do the wishes wall . Everyone was involved to do this . the pupils , teachers , cleaners and staff all wrote their wishes  . and then he started to do the artwork , he used the marble which in my opinion give you the feeling of something valuable and modern . The idea is amazing and also the kids will learn from it alone . The school is the place where you can set a goal for yourself and work hard to make it come true. The wall is a brilliant idea to let the student to think about there dreams , wishes and goals and how there gonna make them come to life . For me if i where a kid going to this school and seeing the wall every time i enter the school , it will reminded me of my wishes and dreams . you see it as  a simple idea but it have a big influence .

The way finding system for the Eureka Tower Car park in Melbourne , designed by Axel Peemoller , an German graphic designer who studied in dusseldorf ( Germany ) , humburg ( Germany ) and Melbourne ( Australia ) .  He designed a lot of things such as books, brochures, magazines, annuals, icons, typefaces, corporate identities, brand strategies, environmental graphics and posters. His work is really amazing. This parking design grabs my attention when I was looking for an environmental typography design. The way he designed is just perfect, the colors the placement everything. This is the first time I saw a colorful parking, usually parking are colorless or only black, white and grays. Axel Peemoller made this parking so playful, and the way he placed the words is just perfect . He won a lot of prizes on this project .
