Typical Halloween for a web designer

I'm a web/graphic designer, so my Halloween is coordinated pretty creative. This year I had a Retro Video game theme. But most people were still confused what was going on. Geez. Lets check it out.


#1. Video game themed pumpkin
Ok, not only is my awesome pumpkin video game themed for Mortal Kombat, it's their logo. Web designers just love a good logo right? It took an hour to carve, but I think it was well worth it. Fun fact, Mortal Kombat is made by Midway.

#2 Video game themed Costume! -Chun Li
Ok, Check me out, I did this for my geeks everywhere. My costume is Chun Li, who is the first female to be in a video game as a player. Not just some princess to save in a story. HA! I just loved the interface of Street Fighter. As a little girl growing up with video games, I payed close attention to the interfaces and noticed themes/ layout/ color... totally might have been one of the factors getting me into design.
As the night progressed and I passed out candy, some SMARTY pants kids noticed my video game theme. I was happy, but They were like, "Why did you mix CAPCOM with MIDWAY?" told him it was just a video game theme, and good observation.
I was also upset because hardly anyone knew who I was dressed as. People asked me if I was a geisha, just Chinese, or some sort of Sailor Moon Character. "I'm Chun Li, the strongest woman in the world!" Then I kicked them as fast as I could. Maybe.

It was a fun costume and I was happy to unleash the awesomeness for everyone that requested it. I wish I could find another reason to wear it again soon! Maybe I'll be Chun Li again next year! Here's a bonus treat... there is a Chun Li movie in the works called, The Legend of Chun Li. YES! Should be released in 2009. Stay tuned...
