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" - Brainstorming and Development
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 →
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.
When reading about the brief, where we have to explore possibilities in creating a get well Read more →
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 →
Speedy Recovery Research
For my research, I started with looking at greeting cards that have been created before. One particular series of cards which grabbed my attention was made by an Italian design firm GIOVANNIRUSSOGRAFICO Design & Advertising. It was a series of pop up cards for famous monuments around the world.

(three) process
I foresee a really long post ahead because this was a really tricky project to figure out ?
✨BEGINNING✨
At the start of the project, I thought making a card would be interesting if I could find a way to make it less like a typical card (i.e. something that might double up as something else) . So since the aim of the Read more →
Visual Communication I: Speedy Recovery! (Final)
This was the final work I submitted for my “Speedy Recovery!”, an interactive card design for Ng Teng Fong Hospital. It is a paper cut card designed to cheer up patients, to aid their speedy recovery. I was inspired by the sun and how its optimism is so infectious and outpouring. Thus, the colours chosen are warm and radiates happiness.
Project 3: process {a thousand well wishes!}
It was great fun exploring the paper as a 3D object for this project, though my final piece doesn’t really show much, uhm, interesting three dimensional shapes or cuts *cough cough* #budget.
Above is the first round of ideas, where I was really focused on creating an interesting form. However, after asking some friends, one who recently underwent an operation, about Read more →
Get well soon (1)
Research
To start with this project, I did some research about the various types of folding and to see how the informations flow in different type of folding. In addition, I found that the idea of hot tea, plaster, soup, animals, flower or nature can bring out the idea of wishing them get well soon.
Vis Comm 1 Assignment 3: Speedy Recovery! – Working on the design (2)
I chose to work with the diagonal gate fold card, as I found the other designs to be too complicated for a get well soon card, which should essentially be simple and pleasing.
Design for the visual composition…I chose to work with the visual graphics of floral patterns and light watercolour like washes. I wanted to work with this idea as Read more →
