// arguement occured

//Conclusion

People, if you're thinking that argument can help to solve the problem, then you’re absolutely wrong!

How will a team without heart and soul going to be successful?
Everyone has different opinion and thoughts and ended up with two groups…what’s the point of making so much nonsense?
Discussion under table is the stupidest idea ever when you’re in a group…

After the two hours of “discussion”, we do hope that the problem is settled.

As the founder of freshmute, we never thought of it as completing our assignment but for FRESHMUTE.

ATTENTION people!

our first mock up

2 sides function tote bag!

//conclusion
After collecting comments from our lecturers, friends and family,we finally got the conclusion.

First, the cost for our 2 sided tote bag is quite high.

Second, we felt that we should've found another type of canvas(tougher) instead of this. As you can see, it looks quite soft and girlish.

Third, the cutting of it, is far different from what we've expected and sketched.

So,people....how will the second mock up look like?

stay tune!

//resgistering











//Conclusion
To make our project better,we went to register for freshmute.
*APPLAUSE*WE ARE THE BOSS NOW!
freshmute enterprise (001829444-X)

People if you are confused with the difference between enterprise and sdn bhd
here are some explanation we've found:
The main difference between Sdn. Bhd. and enterprise is S/B dept does not carry to the owner where enterprise,even the company is closed,the owner bare all the cost himself.in S/B,the maxi,u, you lost is thepaid up capital of the company,if your company paid up capital is RM,the maximum you lose is RM2,of cause all the asset of the company is also lost.

// doing research for material
// asking for quotation



//comparing the prices and materials, and we found out..
there are so many types of CANVAS! =.=


//we were planning to do a 2 sides tote bag






// conclusion

throughout the millions times of meetings...
we've decided to take tote bag as a media to spread out our ideas...

According to our research,we found that tote bag is quite common in other countries. We went to some shopping complex,and realised there are many tote bags in the market.Sadly,it seems
like only a few display items are available and they are alwyas hanging on the higest position on the shelves.

In our country,tote bags are not that common among the people.we wish to bring them to mainstream.

Usually,tote bags are quite girlish...So,we want to design a cutting which is unisex.
There are plenty of aspects we have to consider about: the quality of cloths,price and so on...

//conclusion

We believe that a brand with strong concept can touch people’s heart. Freshmute as a medium where no taboo to use art to express our own ideas.We insist design for “art” sake!
There are plenty of complains and opinions in everyone’s mind. When there is no way to release, DO DESIGN.

// brain storming
// selecting theme












//Conclusion

Perhaps, the first idea is not always the best.
We were brain storming about what should we do for our exhibition, ended up we came out with an idea which was "what have graphic designers done for the environment?"
Human are surrounded by things which people pay less attention on, such as road signs, zebra-crossing, icons and so on…
As time goes by, we've been stuck on the particular of idea as the topic is wide and hard to perform.
Thus, we came out with our second idea, CREATING OUR OWN BRAND. As we’ve seen, there are a lot of graphic designers who own a brand. We wants to find out is creating a brand just a piece of cake?

Well, NEVER TRY NEVER KNOW!

About freshmute

Freshmute is an experimental scheme which presented by a bunch of graphic designers who going to graduate soon.

//Under the absence of design ethos in this country,we questioned the value of our own existence.Therefore,we decided to create a brand,the meaning behind not only in merchandise trade,but we would like to take this opportunity to promote the spirit of us and let the community know more about us.

//What is the spirit of graphic designer? You will find out from our presentation.

//We belive that many graphic designers and artists are working with our common vision of idea.Therefore,we hope that through this project will serve to arouse the resonance of everyone.


Freshmute是由九位即将毕业的平面设计师所呈现的一项实验性计划 - 品牌创造实录.

//在这缺乏设计精神的国度里，我们质疑着自己的存在价值。进而，我们选择了创造品牌，背后的意义不仅仅于买卖商品如此简单，而是希望能借此向大众宣扬设计者的精神。目的就是要让这个社会知道我们，认识我们，以及了解我们。

//何谓设计者精神？此乃我们对社会以及身边所发生的事件所进行的反思, 再透过设计将我们的讯息传达给大众.

//我们相信许多的设计或艺术工作者都抱着与我们共同的理念；因此，我们希望可以透过此项计划引起大家的共鸣。

//然而, 整个过程将被一一记录在内, 当中包括了多媒体,录像,图像以及文字记录...经过编辑工序后将在我们五月的毕业展里呈现.

why Freshmute?

// Freshmute (noun) is taken from the pronounciation of Fresh Milk. Cream
is produced from fresh milk ~ this shows our desire to be the creme de la
creme of our society and of the future design industry.
"Mute"signifies our intentions to let our designs speak for itself. We
design not for design's sake, but to showcase our perceptions of the world
through our language - graphics.
