CUTOUT Magazine

CUTOUT Magazine 是个满满graphic 的杂志，也是经老师介绍而开始认识它。
The popular and best selling magazine in Malaysia about Graphic Design. Pop Culture. & Everything In Between.

CUTOUT is built upon an idea that graphic design is universal and fun. Being the premier local graphic design magazine in Malaysia, CUTOUT embraces the idea and explores the possibilities of design in every page. Published quarterly and compact in size, CUTOUT offers practical know-how for all levels of graphic designers.

CUTOUT covers topics ranging from graphic design to pop culture and anything that’s design-related. These include feature interviews, artwork showcase and how-to articles. Its purpose is to entertain, inspire and inform readers about issues and events of importance to them.

A publication like this requires much more than journalistic writing or superb layout; it demands a great deal of passion, impulse, energy and a knack for visual communication.

CUTOUT is published four times a year (February, May, August & November).

CUTOUT是建立在「平面設計是普遍的，有趣的」的這一個想法。作為馬來西亞當地首屈一指的平面設計雜誌，抱持著「探討在每一頁的設計可能性」的主張，為各界的平面設計師，每季出版和緊湊的大小，裁切提供了實用的訣竅。

CUTOUT涵蓋範圍從平面設計到任何的與設計有關的流行文化主題，這些包括功能的採訪，藝術品展示和知識性的文章，其目的是為了娛樂，啟發和將問題和事件的重要性，告知讀者。像這樣的出版需要比新聞寫作更精湛的佈局，它需要很大的激情，衝動，精力和為視覺溝通的訣竅。

CUTOUT每年出版四次（二月，五月，八月及十一月）。

Helvetica- the font that i like

Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann.

Helvetica was developed in 1957 by Max Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann at the Haas'sche Schriftgiesserei (Haas type foundry) of Münchenstein, Switzerland. Haas set out to design a new sans-serif typeface that could compete with the successful Akzidenz-Grotesk in the Swiss market. Originally called Neue Haas Grotesk, its design was based on Schelter-Grotesk and Haas’ Normal Grotesk. The aim of the new design was to create a neutral typeface that had great clarity, no intrinsic meaning in its form, and could be used on a wide variety of signage.

When Linotype adopted Neue Haas Grotesk (which was never planned to be a full range of mechanical and hot-metal typefaces) its design was reworked. After the success of Univers, Arthur Ritzel of Stempel redesigned Neue Haas Grotesk into a larger family.

In 1960, the typeface's name was changed by Haas' German parent company Stempel to Helvetica in order to make it more marketable internationally. It was initially suggested that the type be called 'Helvetia' which is the original Latin name for Switzerland. This was ignored by Eduard Hoffmann as he decided it wouldn't be appropriate to name a type after a country. He then decided on 'Helvetica' as this meant 'Swiss' as opposed to 'Switzerland'.

Yasmin Ahmad

Yasmin Ahmad (7 January 1958 – 25 July 2009) was a film director, writer and scriptwriter from Malaysia and was also the executive creative director at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur. Her television commercials and films are well known in Malaysia for their humour, heart and love that crosses cross-cultural barriers, in particular her ads for Petronas, the national oil and gas company. Her works have won multiple awards both within Malaysia and internationally. However in Malaysia itself, her films are highly controversial since they depict events and relationships seen as forbidden by social conservatives, especially hard-line interpretations of Islam.

Yasmin was born in Kampung Bukit Treh in Muar, Johor on 7 Jan 1958. A graduate in arts majoring in politics and psychology from Newcastle University in England, she worked as a trainee banker in 1982 for two weeks then working for IBM as a marketing representative while moonlighting as a blues singer and pianist by night. Yasmin began her career in advertising as a copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather and in 1993 she moved to Leo Burnett as joint creative director with Ali Mohammed, eventually rising to executive creative director at the firm's Kuala Lumpur branch.

Her first feature length film was Rabun in 2002. Mukhsin won an international children's best feature film award and special mention under the children's jury awards. Most of her commercials and films have been screened at the Berlin, San Francisco, Singapore international film festivals and the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival (not to be confused with the other Cannes Film Festival). Her films were featured in a special retrospective at the 19th Tokyo International Film Festival in October 2006. An April 2007 retrospective of her feature films was sponsored by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, University of Hawaii, and the Honolulu Academy of Arts. In Singapore, Yasmin is best known for the pro-family commercials she did for the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports. Yasmin was inducted into the Malaysian Advertising Hall of Fame by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Malaysia in November 2008.Yasmin was working on her first feature film to be filmed in Singapore titled, "Go, Thaddeus!" when she died. This was to be an inspirational film for the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, based on the book, "Running the full distance: Thaddeus Cheong" by Belinda Wee about Singapore's 17 year old National triathlete who died after completing the 2007 SEA Games time trial.

Pablo Picasso

当看到这名艺术家的作品时，心里会想说：画到这样...也受好评??

开始去查他的资料是因为老师要我们找以为艺术家来讲出他们的创作风格，那时刚第一学期什么作家都不会，是听一个组员说要做Picasso的，才开始慢慢“认识”他。在研究他的作品风格时，有很多我自认为有趣的地方，他的画里面的人物／动物／植物之类的，都让我有兴趣去猜彻看这到底在画什么...而且，没个人的一件和看法都不同，所表达出来的一件当然就有很多种类了，顿时觉得他真的很厉害，一副作品里可以藏着那么多的讯息。这也让我更钦佩Picasso，这位艺术家。过后，经过老师的解释，才发现他都是拿别的画家知名作品来改造去自己的风格。呵呵～
