Rag: Passion, Friendship, Triumph

hey everyone!
i am blogging for the first ever time on rag blog! hahaha! i am going to blog about our rag banner today!
anyway, kenneth asked me about a few months back to come up with a design for the RAG banner. so i started sketching on paper trying to figure out where to place the words and what colour to make the words stand out as vibrantly as possible. after kenneth and xin yu approved the pencil sketching, i transferred the sketch to photoshop, figuring out the font and making sure the colours didn't clash.

and then finally, on the first day of RAG (i.e last tuesday), we finally made a computer printout into reality. first, i sketched it out on the cloth (which applie bought!) with chalk. had to keep stamping out the chalk because i kept making mistakes!! bahh. after the sketching, we started painting the white base coat.

can you see the especially chalky part on 'passion'? i had to redraw that 4 times before we got what we wanted!

after the white basecoat, we added colours onto it and the finished product looks like this now! pretty right? at the moment, the banner is hanging along the AS6 walkway but once we move over, we are going to hang it up high so that everyone can see it and will know where we are. So if you can't find us, just look out for this banner, don't say we didn't help you! :)
