Latest experiment on HTML5, click here to view the site.

I have to say the satisfaction you get from building JS/HTML site is when you preview it on tablets or smart phones, it just works!

For anybody who wants to learn JS/HTML I recommend you to delve into these materials;

TextLayoutFormat for Arabic Text

Pretty straight forward and you can use fancy fonts as well, in the example I’ve used GE SS Two Medium font.

/**

import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.FontStyle;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.engine.FontLookup;
import flashx.textLayout.edit.ISelectionManager;
import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
import flashx.textLayout.edit.SelectionState;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.Direction;

var tField:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
var applyFont:Font = new Arabic();

/**
* Things that matter
*/
tField.text = "أغنية لشعبولا عن مقتل معمر القذافي";
tField.direction = Direction.RTL;
tField.width = 300;
tField.x = (stage.stageWidth - tField.width)/2;
tField.y = 100;
tField.wordWrap = true;

tField.embedFonts = true;

addChild(tField)

var tFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
tFormat.fontFamily = applyFont.fontName;
tFormat.color = 0xffffff;
tFormat.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
tFormat.fontSize = 30;

/**
* Just blindly copy and paste the below
*/

tField.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
tField.textFlow.hostFormat = tFormat;

var prevManager:ISelectionManager = tField.textFlow.interactionManager;
var editManager:EditManager = new EditManager();
var sel:SelectionState = new SelectionState(tField.textFlow, 0, tField.text.length);
tField.textFlow.interactionManager = editManager;
editManager.applyLeafFormat(tFormat, sel);
tField.textFlow.interactionManager = prevManager;

tField.textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();

Japan

Japan had been the most peculiar yet fascinating society I’ve ever encountered is not about the Geishas, Kimonos, or Samurais but to its people, to most cultures individualism thrives and is encouraged as a way to behave within a society which often detrimental if had not been supported by a spiritual embodiment.

But in Japan the opposite happens, society is intertwined by a synergy of harmony, honor, and respect. This kind of thinking had happened back in Indonesia during Sukarno’s era, but somehow it has evolved to a shameless and corrupted mentality which has shaped the core mannerism of Indonesia.

The preconception that a society would advance in a platonic relationship had never been conceived in this ignorant and self-centered generation, but the model works. Although this is just based on a week of evaluation and nothing is perfect but still it’s beautiful in comparison with other cultures and I wish I could be a part of it.

My new portfolio

For those of you who don’t have the time to read the post, go to this link to see my site, I’m still adding more details, but overall it’s ready for your viewing pleasure.

After a copious amount of late night works, It’s finally done.

Concept Brief

The concept of the design which I’ve had envision initially was a depiction of a dream of an opposite anthropomorphism story, in a way where human were enslaved by the animal.

But somehow it grew to something more simplistic as I thought having animals roam around the world would ruin the composition.

I’ve tried to adapt the sfumato style quite rigorously, since I think it goes hand in hand with the pastel colors and most importantly the initial concept.
