Very creative presentation, Ahmad. Never seen such a profile presentation before.

Ahmad, I have been making print ads here using Corel for so many years now, and I have to say this introduction is the most brilliant in terms of simplicity, creativity and substance. I have to say the "work under pressure" statement is my favorite here. Funny how I've never thought of it before.

Why can't others' introduction be more ingenious like this? (Sigh.)

Thank you Sonny for your glad comment :)

So how do you work under pressure? ;)

Usually a cup of cafe latte or green tea with some fruit and headphones full of chillout music does the trick. These are for the times when I've been give last-minute (literally) rush jobs. The kind that other graphic artists usually give up on. (they probably haven't heard of CorelDRAW, I guess.)

You? :-)

I don't consider myself "good under pressure", I prefer to work without pressure :)

Though, in the few times, when my colleges consider it a pressure situation, I did fine. For example, we had to finish our graduation project in around 4 months, I've completed it in the last 2 weeks and I got a 97%.

A cup of Sage and Basil, sweetened with Organic Cane Sugar will be great. I think shutting down the computer and seeing some friends will work most of the times.

I've been there before as well. An ad agency needed an anime fighter image for an ad for their client but the agency's in-house artists were on a seminar and weren't available. Because the ad was due the next morning, we got the project at the last minute. I started on it at 10pm the same day and e-mailed the image six hours later. The image was approved and the client was pleased.

The agency was surprised how fast it took me to finish what their artists took several days. (I told them I used CorelDRAW). Here's the image I made: coreldraw.com/.../17418.aspx

BTW, I only use non-dairy creamer but I prefer drinking green tea instead. No sugar. As for the post, My best friend's wife happen to share the same views with regards to milk and dairy products. She advocates holistic living and healthier alternatives to consumer products. You could check her collection of articles here: oneplanetnoah.multiply.comreviews">oneplanetnoah.multiply.com/reviews

Hmmm, Maybe I should send a link to Bob and Stefan as well? They might find this interesting.
