I found it really intriguing that “I’m Not Really A Waitress” is the name of one of the latest design Colours by O.P.I for Dell Design Studio in their Studio 15 range. Seriously, I’m not really a waitress.

I’m a multi-tasker with today’s technology. I’m also vain because my outlook defines me. Under the lacquered satin red nail polish lies a strong and bold personality in me. I’m not really a waitress.

“A vivacious chianti red. Living in LA puts me in the heart of the entertainment industry, where you can see celebs and celebutantes just by grabbing a latte. My inspiration behind I’m Not Really a Waitress, OPI’s best-selling shade of all time, is the response you hear from every would-be actress who is waiting tables until her big break comes along. Created for the OPI Hollywood Collection, this is one shade that’s totally ready for its close-up! “

Josiah would suit the “Korakrit Arunanondchaiheuk” Design. Oh yes, I’ll give you 50 cents if you manage to say that name very fast without making a mistake and without pausing the first time. That’s the name of the design, but it is not called “I’m Not Really A Cyclist”.

I love how they encourage designers to be a part of Dell by submitting their best laptop designs (skins) for competition. Recently, their “Make It Yours” Design Studio attracted tons of budding designers in Malaysia. I must say there are a lot of talented young folks out there. Here are some designs to highlight that are my personal favourites.

by Ahmad Fakry

Well, I must say that red, black, grey and white are my favourite colours and I have a thing for swirls. They’re not only pretty, they’re fluid which represent movement and it’s like a dance.

by Farid Dzulfitry

This one is really metaphorical, a brain tree with ideas branching out. It’s bold and urban, I love it!

by Haze Long

You like rubiks? Colours splashing out of the rubiks cube. Like a vomit of letters.

by Kynki

How cute and intricate it is!

by Saf Wan

I also love circles mixed with swirls. Reminds me of the 5bling logo I designed for Josiah!

by Tan Shi Yun

If there is anything to change in the image, the girl behind the butterfly should be me, possible?

WINNING DESIGNS

Now are you ready for the ultimate winning design?

WINNING DESIGN – best entry as selected by promoter: Old Style by Amirul Hasrie who wins a laptop with his own design on it and vouchers.

I wonder if Amirul was inspired by the bathroom tiles or something. Makes me wonder the mental state of mind the artist was in at that point in time while working on this. Indeed, the earth needs more green, so let’s fill it up with more green because it is a joint effort to layer the bricks. Now, if that makes sense. What do you think?

WINNING DESIGN – most popular design by vote: Dell by Sin Ong Toh who wins vouchers.

Do you see the word DELL in the design?

See what I mean by talent. Really inspiring indeed.
