Dookaz Spotlight

看得出｢西餅｣是個樂觀開朗的女孩子，把好好的男朋友畫成那樣，還直説美麗；西餅也一定是個單純善良的女孩子，因爲她喜歡分享，喜歡簡單生活；當然西餅還是很感性的女孩子，喜歡通過有形的媒體—如設計，來表達自己無形的想法。

現在正在進修設計的西餅愛做夢，相信她的夢裏大概有一個是關於設計的吧，也希望Dookaz在她達成夢的過程裏，可以幫上一點小忙。

採訪實錄：

1. 請介紹下自己

我叫西餅(westcake)，因為喜歡創作，大學畢業後，現在正在一間設計學院修讀文憑課程。我愛做夢，做很多很多的夢。容易笑，容易哭，容易感動。

2. 爲何喜歡設計？

與其說我喜歡設計，倒不如說我喜歡能將自己無形的意念或感情，透過有形的媒體，傳達給其他人。

3. 你的設計風格如何？

我喜歡簡單的生活，正如我喜歡用簡單的線條構成有意思的圖像一樣。快樂的、悲傷的、感動的、憤怒的，我都希望和其他人分享。

4. 從何得到設計靈感？

其實生活中大大小小的事物都可以化為我的靈感，因為它們都能勾起我的回憶或幻想。

5. 哪些文化因素曾影響過你的設計風格和主題？

在香港這個國際大都會出世和長大，能夠接觸的文化太多了，但我偏愛簡單的生活，純真的心，所以我的風格也比較簡單樸素，主題大多環繞感人的感情。

6. 你最喜歡的藝術家是？爲什麽？

我想藝術家是有一定成就的藝術創作工作者，當中包括寫作、繪畫、攝影、表演、雕塑、音樂、書法等等。我喜歡的有水禾田、幾米、李連杰，因為從他們的作品中我感受到他們都是很率性、很純真的人。

7. 你平時喜歡去哪些設計網站？

設計堂http://aad-art.com/ (看看別人的作品和找找有趣的設計比賽)
藝術家空間 http://www.alivenotdead.com/
Flickr http://www.flickr.com/ (很多有趣或有質素的圖片也是設計的靈感來源)

8. 談談你的獲選設計？靈感來自何處？想表達什麽？

”

其實我間中會用FLASH作畫，那天我好想畫一幅畫，但不知道畫什麼才好，就作了第一幅畫 ( 叫「如果要我畫一幅畫」)，畫的是我男朋友，後來覺得不夠好玩，就改了給他豬鼻子和地中海等等 (叫「You are beautiful」)，最後把它改做白色，影在黑色T-shirt上會好像粉筆在黑板上的效果。

9. 從何處得知Dookaz.com

設計堂

10. 爲何選擇Dookaz作爲設計發表平臺？

透過Dookaz，上網便可以製作自己設計的T-shirt，真的非常方便。在特別節日或朋友生日，我也會考慮訂做一件自己設計的T-shirt，這也是很有心思和實用的禮物 (而且價錢也不算貴)。如果有一天，在街上看見有人穿著自己設計的T-shirt，那應該是一件很棒的事，因為有人認同自己的作品和有所共鳴。

11. 對Dookaz有何評價？

真的很喜歡這個網站 如果日後擴展，可以考慮把作品印在更多不同東西上(如：外套、帽子、被鋪、窗簾、杯子、月曆、八達通套、mousepad) 大家就可以有更多選擇啊 (呵呵，會不會太誇張 :P)，總之要加油啊！

Westcake must be a very optimistic and sweet girl, who painted her boyfriend like a ugly pig, but still called as “you are beautiful”; Westcake is also definitely a sincere and kind-hearted girl, because she likes to share feelings and to live a simple life; at last, Westcake is a very sensitive girl, who likes express her invisible thoughts through visible media - such as design.

Being studying design course at a college, Westcake loves to dream. So we guess design should be one of her dreams and really hope that Dookaz can help a little during the process to make her dream come true.

Here is the interview of westcake:
1. What are your current occupation and state of mind?

My name is westcake. I like design, so after graduation from University, I have been studying certificate course at a design college. I like dreaming, of lots of things. I am very easy to laugh, cry and be touched.

2. Why do you like design?

Instead of saying I like design, it would be better to say I like invisible ideas or feelings, and express through visible media, to convey to other people.

3. How would you describe your style of art?

I like simple life, as I like using simple lines into meaningful images. No matter happiness, sadness, touching, or anger, I want share with other people.

4. Where did you get your inspiration for your design?

In fact, all the things in life can become my inspirations, because they can raise my memories or fantasies.

5. What cultural influences have influenced your style and subject matter?

Born and growing up in such a international city like Hong Kong, you can never get enough of different cultures. But I prefer simple life and pure heart. So my style is relatively simple and plain, moving around the theme of most human feelings.

6. Who is your favorite artist of all time and why?

I think artists are art workers who own certain achievements, including writing, painting, photography, performance, sculpture, music, calligraphy and so on. I like the water Hetian, Jet Li. because from their works, I feel they are all very sincere and innocent persons.

7. What kind of design website do you often visit?
http://aad-art.com/ (To see other works and find interesting design contest)
http://www.alivenotdead.com/
http://www.flickr.com/ (Lots of interesting or high quality images, very good source of inspirations)

8. Tell us about the design process for your picked design? How did you get the inspiration? What to express?

In fact, I occasionally use FLASH for painting. One day I really felt like drawing, but did not know what to draw. So I drew the first painting as follows (it is called “If I would like to draw something”). It is about my boyfriend, but I did not feel well of it, so I amended to give him a pig nose and Mediterranean, and etc (called “You are beautiful”). At last I changed it into white design on black T-shirt, to make it like the chalk on the blackboard.

9. How did you hear Dookaz.com?
From aad-art.com

10. Why choose Dookaz as the platform to publish your design?

Through Dookaz, we can create our own designed T-shirts. This is really convenient, particularly during special holidays or birthdays of friends. I will also consider doing a custom designed T-shirt, and make it a very special gift with regards and also practical purpose (the price is reasonable). If one day, seeing someone in the street wearing my own designed T-shirt, it should be a great thing. Because it is amazing when people agree with your thoughts and have resonance.

11. How do you comment on Dookaz.com?

I really like this site In the future, maybe you can try provide printing services for printing on a lot of things (such as: Jacket, Hat, Cover, Curtain, Cup, Calendar, Octopus Card, and mouse pad) so we can have more choices ah (Oh, would it be too exaggerated: P) A word to say: Add oil ah!
