I followed the Journey of Starsapphire04

My sister starsapphire04 joined the Ituloy Ang Sulong, the SEO's 2007 contest for the bloggers. She asked me some help to design a header for her blog. So, I decided to make one for her.

By that time I'm still poor in designing, believe me. Here's the link. Ituloy Ang Sulong ni starsapphire04. I just putted her name as she's the one who designed the header. Very poor design hehehe! I still remember I got those image used from other site which consists of different vexels. And the funniest of that, we are take of imagine that it can be the choice for best blog design hahaha!

But my sister was attended it's awards night, even if we think we couldn't win. Just want her to have a experience. She got a little prizes from SEOPH and I borrowed it.

When was the time I started designing?

Second Year College from Technological Institute of the Philippines Quezon City. I don't have any idea about website, and on how website works, haha! Imagine that? But nowadays, there's a lot of teenagers knows how to build a websites at the young age of 14 I guess?

But when our subject started to have a Personal Website Project, I started to learn how to make a basic HTML tags, and build my own cheap personal website.

This photo was taken when I am doing my first Personal Website Project. [17 years old]



We are having a Personal Website Design Project that time with Ms. Roselia Morco. Since when I was young, stylizing everything is my passion. Yes, designing is my passion. Everything what I saw on my room, the ribbon, the stationaries and etc. I always making a different style for it. So, that was the reason why do I really like designing and styling, until I discover that there was a software application to use for making a design on the web, the Adobe Photoshop.

The first time I designed in Photoshop it was so ugly, I told you hahaha! So lucky that I saw my sister (starsapphire04) know how to make a design using Photoshop. Then she teach me how to do some effects, the text, the fonts, and etc. Until I feel that I am improving every time my sister criticize my works. Yup! Criticism makes my work improving.

Starsapphire04 is the first one who discover my talent in designing. She manage me every time I have a questions about this, about that. Until she told me to build a website and be a partner of her. So we build a website related in Premade Friendster Layouts, the techno-sisters.net.

Also big thankful to Ma'am Morco who gave me a chance to expose my talent which I really don't know that I have this skills. And to Mr. Talla who taking care of my abilities in designing and I am very proud to say that every time I have a competition, he is my coach. They are my professors who helped me to enhance my skills in designing, Thank you very much!
