Which Side to do the Silhouette?

Many guests were asking me which side of their face from side view is the best, to me it doesn’t make any different.

Technically, the producing of a portrait silhouette (side profile or the portrait’s side viewed shadow) is emphasized on the edge of the shape of the neck portion, to the jaw, the mouth, the nose, forehead till the shape of the hair style and etc.

Not like caricature or portrait drawing, silhouette cutting would not describe the rest or the details like what type of eye, what type shape of the ear and so ford, therefore hardly differentiate which side view of your portrait silhouette had been produced from.

Hence we are very demand on the likeness of the final product for sure.Talking about the likeness, not many people can tell by themselves whether the silhouette artwork being done was look alike with them or not, this is because in the whole world, majority of the human being only emphasized the front look of their own faces through the mirror, therefore the guests need to get their friends to tell them whether the silhouette artwork being done whether looks like them or not.

Wedding Dinner at Raffles Hotel Singapore

I had done a roving silhouette cutting service for another special date: 10/10/09. The so call special date usually is the combination of the numbers (day, month and year etc.) like this year’s 09.09.09 (9th September 2009).Nice, classy and simple deco.The sepia color mural painting was look like a real sculpture that was really interesting.Just take this photo because I found it interesting in this angle.

Wedding Silhouette Cutting

I was did a pre-event at York Hotel for a wedding dinner. That was great to meet many nice guests tonight, the eve of Chinese's Mid Autumn Festival (‘中秋节’).

Chinese Paper Cutting Chinese Mid Autumn Festival

Just did Chinese Paper Cutting Demo cum workshop to an event for Chinese Mid Autumn Festival. Many guests were very interesting to participate in this demo and workshop.

I just realized many people did not know how to use scissors, so I had tried my best to guide them.

Talking about Chinese Paper Cutting, the traditional way was to draw the design on the back of the red paper then do the related cutting.

Chinese Paper Cutting is actual belonging to one of the graphic design category in my view; one of the methods to produce it was using the template. We can just use the computer to design it and then print out the design and stable it on the red paper and do the cutting.
