HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHY LIFE (BODY AND MIND)?

Guys I am sorry for interupting and disturbing and such, for asking u to do my user test again (for my Design Method subject)

  2. Can you give me rating from my visual from 0-5?
  3. What do you think of the typography here?
  4. Is the color theme suit?
  5. Does this, effectively encouraging you to do so?

10 Things that Describe Myself (metaphor)



Firstly I would like to describe myself as a GRENADE. I inspired this metaphor from Bruno Mars's songs. Although he just released 1 album, which is "Doo-Wops & Hooligans", he has created very nice songs to hear, such as "Count on me", "Talking to The Moon", "Grenade", "The Lazy Song". "Just The Way You Are" (in my opinion). Anyway just go back to the metaphor, I choose grenade is because I am a calm person, I seldom get angry (unless in a "specified case"). As a grenade will never blow if you don't pull the fuse everything will be ok.




I am like WATER ON THE MOUNTAIN, as I mentioned before I am a calm person as a water on the mountain is very calm at the same time as less people can reach top of the mountain to disturb the water. I am also an easy going person as the upstream will deliver the water until downstream. I like to go out, hanging out as long as assignment didn't haunt me.


The next thing is about my body, many people say that I am like an ELECTRICITY POLE, (of course you know what it is looks like). In fact that I am skinny with 177cm height and 66kg weight. I'm quite tall but don't have a really muscle YET.




I am a BULL, (such a huge animal compare to my size, which I bet no one will know what is the connection with me). What am I talking here is the spirit. Whenever it saw a red colour (this is what I called misconception, they don't actually hates red colour, they just attack whatever things that moves, in this case the red cloth will keep moving and the man stand still) he will attack it. So, the connection here with me is whenever I get interested in something ( or even sum1), I will chase n complete it. For example, I found out interesting game I will try to finished it right away or another case such as rubics (cube), I will try to finish it although it takes days.


Next is I am like a BAT, but mine is a little bit modificated. As an art student, especially TOA, I am used to night life, hunting for food at midnight and then come back continue assignment. If bat usually take rest at daytime, I go to class at daytime and have a nap at evening and do my work at night.


I am like a TORTOISE also, I feels that I always eat slower than others (I think it is personal matters). Other than that it also describe me as an quite person, I am not a talkative, I am not good at talking in public so I rather just listening.


HORSE. Strong physic, energetic in terms of sports. I use horse because it symbolize me as a sports lover. I do tennis, table tennis, badminton, futsal, swimming, and much more.


The bad thing about me is SLOTH style. I guess most people know what sloth is, the laziest animal in the world. Actually my laziness level is not as high as sloth, I just make it exaggerating. There’s a few things that is private here so I will not mention here.


Impatience, like a TRAIN. Train will not wait you, you are the one who have to wait for it. As for me, i don’t have ‘much’ patient to wait somebody. In fact, if I forced to wait for somebody, which is not very special, I will just leave or take a nap (if possible).


Last thing is, I would like to describe myself  as DOG, not to compare myself as a dog but, I want to metaphor the behavior which is loyal. I think myself is quite loyal.


Ok it's time to finish the crap.  Need to do something else. Cao
