15 May 2010. I had a spectacular 21st Party at my uncle's condo, Glendale Park. Laughter and fun filled with my families and friends.
And today, it's my birthday eve! (Please flood my Facebook, Twitter and mobile phone when the clock hit 12 tonight!)
So before I blog about my awesome and spectacular party! I shall write out an entry about the planning process of this party!
I couldn't really remember the exact date or month when I started my planning. All I know was I wanted my party to be big and fun!
What I think is that, in order to inject the "fun factor" to a party is to have a theme. A birthday party theme. So I googled and looked up on various party themes.
None of it caught my attention. Then I told myself, I must look for a theme that shouts me! A theme that it's very Daniel.
Then I figured out maybe something colourful? Colours that is loud or striking colours! Isn't this very me? No?
However, the theme in the end was not Colourful but Specs. You know? Guests coming with wonderful, awesome and funny spectacles/glasses?
And then suddenly, I got this err, what do you call it? A concepts? Yeah, Be-Spec-tacular popped in my mind all of a sudden!
Be-Spec-tacular; A combination of Bespectacled and Spectacular.
I liked this very much! And I am very proud of myself coming out with this! I am serious! HAHA!
Next, I designed a "so-called" poster so I can use it to be the picture for my birthday event in Facebook.
The first design;
I know, very messy and irritating background I had. The spec you see on the poster is actually a letter B, I mean I wanted to use that shape of the spec to be a letter B but Jason and Amanda told me it's hard to notice it as the spec and the text does not have the same colour tone in sync. (If you get what I mean...)
So I redesigned and this is the 2nd design.
Love the colourful letters but felt that it's abit plain, showed it to Jason and he suggested put some border.
Googled border but couldn't find any borders I like. Until I remember Photoscape have that function! So I went to play around the picture in Photoscape.
And I got this two...
I can't use both of them as the border are black in colour! I mean! I told my friends not to come in black, wouldn't I be contradicting myself if I had black colour in my err, official party cover/poster?
In the end, I used photoshop and made the border and this is the end results.
The effect is from Photoscape by the way.
Initially, I wanted to held my birthday at Durty Nelly, an Irish Bar which I came across and I like the feeling of it. Did enquires on the cost of holding my birthday there but it's a pity that the cost of it was within my budget.
All right, keep a lookout on my Birthday Post! Probably by this week! =D
