Sentosa is a well known tourist attraction in Singapore, and also a place for locals to explore. This is highlighted in my work as a place that the tourists see, and focus on. The Far Far Away Castle that can be seen in the entrance to Sentosa is also a parallel to how Singapore is sometimes referred to as Disneyland, both clean and “ideal”. However, as to whether tourists see beyond that is unknown/unlikely.
I started with a rough sketch of the castles in proportion to the Sentosa logo. I wanted to show how that beyond the “perfect” tourist attractions that tourists visit, they are unable to see beyond what Singapore is as a nation and that there could a lot else going on behind the scenes, hence the borders. Then I decided to zoom in on the entrance to show how it is in focus. After, I added in more use of tone via shading and texture.
