here you go. this is my first attempt in 'copyrighting' my images. i'm not even sure if the progress i made is worth copyrighting, and i think you actually do something quite different than ruining your image with some ghost lettering, but i wanted to try anyway. hehe. a logo could be more 'chic', i guess. hmmm.

i'm finally back to working on my industrial design projects. i promise, no more new projects until the present ones are finished!:) i drew a 1/1 scale technical drawing of the parts of my shopping bag (i know, very old school, but i will always be crazy about hand drawing-go rulers, pencils, and marquers!). i'll go on with the actual 'bag' part and then back to 3d modelling. will i be able to present my idea in a 'woa!' way? let's see. tricky part again.

brr, it's been tough to convince myself to work again.

the thing that causes me to delay my posting about industrial design stuff is that, -you know- you actually cannot talk about your projects until after they have been produced and released, and some kind of copyright protection has been arranged. even if you are designing for no apparent company or immediate financial expectation, the project still and always has the potential to be marketed. how do other industrial design bloggers overcome this problem? can they feel confident sharing sketches, mock-ups, models, 3d's, or even prototypes as they progress? i really want to share some of the progress i have been making about some projects, but i'm not sure if i may ruin the whole thing. on the other hand, i don't feel the same pressure when sharing my characters or animations, or future illustrations. why so? hmm. i need to check the other designers' view of sharing details of independent projects.

what do you think about this? do you keep your independent industrial design projects top secret until after you launch them, or do you spill at least part of the project? i really need some feedback on this...
