Assignment 5

Class Exercise 2

Assignment 4

one of the most pressing issue faced by children of this age is negligence. The stress and workload faced by parents are taking over their time for their children. Unlike in the past when children were the limelight of a family, even for the those who are often disciplined, kids nowadays are left at home alone with their maids. As such, This poster serves as a reminder for all parents to stop shortchanging your kid the spotlight that they deserve. Otherwise, they'll miss the chance of seeing them grow each day.
Spotlight here represents attention.
Comments received were minimal. Things to take note would be the vision of the parents who are behind the spotlight as they can't really be seen. Perhaps the spotlight and the parents can each take a side instead? Well, I'll try and we'll see...

Assignment 3

Here is my assignment 3. Picture Story.








It definately wasn't easy to find a suitable place for this photoshoot. But it wasn't difficult to take the photos. Other than that, i honestly hope the pictures explain my story well enough.

Assignment Two

This is inspired by my own experience. Time and time again, we see people in NUS making this mistake: to always enter the bus before those alighting alight. Such a scenario is not uncommon. The reason for such a problem may not just be people being kiasu. I choose to believe that it's because people forget. As such, my sign hopes to play a part in helping people remember. This sign will be pasted at the sides of the doors of the bus where passengers boarding the bus will see before boarding. By reminding passengers, this will avoid unnecessary inconvenience and the banging-into-one-another awkwardness. Below is my chosen piece. It is simple and straightforward, very self-explanatory.

Assignment Two (Rejected)

This is my initial idea of a sign, a peace sign. NUS students have tonnes of projects to do. What is that we are afraid of when it comes to project? It really is not the work, it's the people we're working with. Arguments and disagreements seemed to be inevitable in project meetings. Hence, by placing this sign in places where people often hold project meetings, it'll remind them to have 'peace'... :) Ideal places: Meeting Rooms in library, on wooden benches all around campus.

However, it was raised up that this hand sign could represent other stuff like a pose for the camera, or even the victory sign. Hence, since it's pretty hard to salvage the vague-ness problem of this piece, I decided to scrap this idea and come up with another one. :)

Assignment One

Here are my two final drafts...
But I'll think I'll go for the first one.
It has a cleaner and clearer feel.
Although I intented to incorporate the dirty aspect of a toilet as shown in the second draft, I end up not wanting it becasue, I would rather be associated to a clean toilet than to a dirty one. Furthermore, asethetically, the first one has a nicer blend, the black in the second is probably a little abrupt and out of place.
