Pinterest & Instagram Inspired Calendar

On a typical Thursday afternoon as I was searching and scrolling for calendar ideas on Pinterest , one of the post caught my eye. At that moment immediately I said to myself I want to do this! Its so pretty. That night, I called my boyfriend and Nicole to ask them how to cause initially I plan to do it in indesign. Thanks to both of them for their suggestion, I use illustrator to make this calendar. 

Calendar ideas I found on Pinterest
Basically it took me 2 days to complete this due to some pictures problem that I can't import into illustrator. Finally I solved the problem yesterday and now it's done.

Arranging the final work
Overlook of the calendar
Kinda proud of myself that I can make this calendar with only basic knowledge of illustrator through self learning.

Favorite Apps

Hey there! How's life treating you? Can't believe its beginning of July and I'm on my 3rd week of winter semester. Taking a little bit of time to blog before finals is coming. This time I'm going share what is my favourite apps. Yeah, since I got my iphone 6, literally a happy girl and excited cause selfie and foodporn mood is back on track. Then came the thought of why not I do a favourite apps post. So here it is! Hope that this post will somehow helps you in finding the right app :D

First of all, this is what I have in my iPhone:



Err... sorry. Not much of a game person.

Apps that I can't live without:
WhatsApp 
Thank god Whatsapp exist! In my opinion, Whatsapp is much stable than Line and other similar apps. With Line, very often that I received text notifications but once to open the app the messages is not there. It took few minutes to load. Its been almost like 2 years I didn't use Line. So I'm not sure did the developer fix the problem. Although, there is one app I found it stable is Telegram. 

Instagram

This is the social networking app that I'm most active on. Not facebook nor twitter. This is where I get my info for food hunt places. One of the best places to share the artistic side of your photos and get inspired from others. 
Favourite apps:
Waze
Waze is such an amazing app that I found its better than Maps itself or even Google Maps. The good thing about this app is that you can report traffic conditions or accidents happen, police checking, speed trap and etc. The apps itself will also freeze your search when it detect your car is moving. Thumbs up to the developer for considering the safety of the drivers (us).

Pinterest
Pinterest!!!! Love this app to the max. This is the best place to find ideas and inspirations in EVERYTHING you can think of. From architecture to art to car and motorcycles to design to technology and etc.


Dropbox
The best place to store your files online and access wherever you are. Normally, I use it to backup my photos from my iphone because I feel that dropbox kinda sync faster than Google drive. In Google drive, I only store study related files like my lecture notes and assignments. Last time I used to store everything in dropbox. As you know, our life lives by and your picture getting more and more it kind of taking up all my spaces in dropbox. That is why I decided to use Google drive just to store my documents and stuff. Both works perfectly but I still prefer dropbox. 

Spotify
My Favourite platform to discover new musics and artist. Don't you bored with local stations keep playing the same old thing?  Spotify has a lot of indie songs which currency I'm in love with this genre. 





Top favourite PHOTOGRAPHY apps:





Camera
In taking picture, it is best to stick with the build-in camera in your phone cause the quality is better than using other photography app. This tip I read it in some article which I find it kinda true. After that, use any other photo editing app to edit the picture or filter it. 

PhotoWonder
PhotoWonder has a very nice filter which I like it very much. Some more it can take picture with the built in filters. Normally I use it for taking selfie.





It came with a beautify function too! :D


Top favourite photography editing apps:
VSCOcam
I started to use this app recently after I got my iPhone 6. I got to say this is an essential app for photography. You can forget the rest cause the app pretty much can do anything with it and of course there are some filters are require to buy but I think the free filters are good enough. Normally, I stick to contrast, brighten and adjusting highlight.






Some of the basic filters



Fuzel Collage
Since this app available on the app store, this is my favourite app to do photo collage and animations.


These are the types of collage ranging from simple to animated to free form and it comes with a different layout which I pay to unlock all of it. 


Beautiful fonts!

Frames...

Stickers....




and also you can play the Fuzel challenge to earn some credits 


Aviary
Aviary is pretty much no different with the other editing app, but the filters are quite awesome! 






 


Whitagram

This is the app that I always use to upload portrait and landscape photos onto instagram. 



Squaready

I use squareready just because of the blur background feature in this app. Haha. Normally I stick to whitagram.


That's sum up how I edit my pictures. Play with filters, brightness and contrast that will do. :)
