VISCOM1//PROJECT 2: Get Well Soon Card [FINAL]
In this project, we were tasked to create a ‘get well soon’ card for Ng Teng Fong hospital. It had to have some element of either die-cut or 3D attribute to it. For me, my card wasn’t really developed quickly and started my concept off an image that I saw in the past.
It was an illustration of a cat holding Read more →
Project 3 "Speedy Recovery" - Final
After the second rounds of feedback, I mainly worked on tweaking the graphic elements e.g. the position to keep the mechanism secure, the colour to ensure proper contrast in printing, text kerning, placement and size to ensure higher readability. For the paper stock, I went with a slightly textured, matte card as I like how the paper created a warmer Read more →

Brainstorming and Development
After the initial visual research, I tried to branch out on the third concept as I felt that it was the one that most suited the brief.
I brainstormed out 2 ideas based on the mechanism of the pop up card: planets and oceans – as both were interesting landscapes that had elements that could be stacked against each other.
Based Read more →

The challenges I faced were
Deciding on the final direction I wanted to go with. There were so many ideas I had that it seemed such a pity to just focus on one but due to practicality and time constraint, I eventually settled on what I feel I could do. Technical skills could be improved. I feel Read more →Assignment 1 Therapeutic Graphics: Research
In our first class, we received out brief: Create something that would fit on the glass window of the hospital and consider its relationship with the viewer, that’s what we would tasked to do.

There were certain challenges that I faced along the way which I feel helped me grow as a designer. Some of the challenges and solutions are as below:
Designing the folds before imagery. Also thinking that folds had to be extremely elaborate for it to look nice which isn’t the case. A simple Read more →Assignment 3 Research: Get well card
The assignment started simply enough- create folding and perforation lines to make a 3D card out of a single sheet of paper. Unfortunately I have never been too good at 3D materials but I am interested to see what I can do. Here we go.

Assignment 2 Final: Zika Poster
After weeks of consultation and tweaking, the final artwork was as below:
I wanted to give it a contemporary feel hence the font chosen. Texture was also used to suggest blood stains and the sac at the bottom of the mosquito where blood is usually collected. The mosquito creates an instantly recognisable image which people can understand visually before the words Read more →
Assignment 2 Research: Zika Poster
Some research I did before starting the poster was to look at the different ways information was disseminated.
Infographics: This form of information sharing largely uses graphics and colors to provide information in bite sized portions and make it easily digestible.
2. Illustrated infographics and comics: This form of information sharing uses a storyline and related graphics to share its information.
Project 3 "Speedy Recovery" - Visual Research and Moodboard
Initial development/ research
To start off the project, I went to research on various ways of creating pop-up cards- I knew some basic ways of creating pop up cards like the v-fold or the internal stand method but I wanted to experiment to try to find new ways of creating them.
Out of the many that I saw, I found a few Read more →
