First part of the story with mockup design
This is my frist part of the story with the mockup design
Experiment through design the paper enginnering and see how it function
Playgrounds are such gobby places.
Know what I mean?
Everyone seems to have something to
Talk about, giggle, whisper, scream and shout about.
I mean, it's like being in a parrot cage.

An Early Achiever and outstanding Artist- Yaniv Janson
While most 18 year olds boys and girls are beginning to think about what to do after school, Yaniv Janson is a working artist and a published author.
Yaniv’s journey is different than other normal kids, born with Asperger’s Syndrome, antism-spectrum disorder characterized by social awkwardness and difficulty in communication. He used to be high school student and has turned instead to expressing himself through his art work, painting and books.
Yaniv published his first book Portfolio which was the collection of his works from last year, and this year has completed his second book Changing the World one Painting at a Time. The second book was created with help by his lovely parents whom aim to help people to think about making life-style changes that will make a difference to global warming.
Moreover, Yaniv has contributed his several paintings with many public societies, such as Hamilton architects and he has gained the opportunity to create piece for the New Zealand Clean Energy Centre in Taupo and a banner for Microsoft NZ. In addition, Yaniv also designs the T-shirt which has been produced by Wellington-based Company Kowtow.
Now a day, Yaniv still working very hard as the professional artist, he cannot stop painting in his life, and he never give up because of his disability. As a matter of fact, he looks like the outstanding and a high achievement youngest artist in my mind.

Discovering Special Drawing
Today I have one day trip with my family in Auckland city, when we walked down through the Queen Street and saw an unfamiliar street artist Mark who I never seen before. He used the toilet paper to stain with the India ink and the sip of cooking oil to smear on the glossary photography paper, he only use five to ten minutes to finish each drawing. Also he used some yellow spread paint to spread on the background to make the effect of sunset.
However, I thought Mark was really great street artist who uses different medium to draw different landscapes of South Africa, and the nature environment. Overall, it was a great experience after we chatted about his works, and he gave me a valuable lesson about how to use those materials to make the beautiful compositions.
