"Connecting Communities" was more than just a festival; it's a vibrant celebration of Community Engagement and Service, which unfolded from September 18th to 28th, 2023.
At the heart of the visual design lies a simple, yet impactful key visual, spotlighting our logo type. Our design narrative extends beyond the logo, incorporating illustrations depicting community-driven activities, featuring individuals spanning generations and abilities. Zig-zag lines, serving as a recurring motif, infuse a sense of continuity, while cheery elements like the sun and abstract organic shapes add warmth and vitality. Anchored by a color palette in deep blue hues and accentuated by bursts of oranges, pinks, yellows, and teal, our design aims to show vibrancy and inclusivity.
The designs were used mostly in a variety of web applications. Web banners on websites, Instagram posts and templates and a physical pull-up banners were created.

]]>We had the opportunity to support FARM in designing a brochure for an exhibition, Now Boarding. We adapted the exhibition identity designed by FARM unto a brochure design, which is given out at the exhibition to walk the viewer through the exhibits. It was designed to resemble a foldout map, similar to the print maps used when we travel to foreign lands (at least before the smartphone era). A boarding pass design, which accompanies the brochure, invites the viewer to access an interactive portal within the exhibition.
The exhibitions continues through 27 May 2023 - 25 Feb 2024.

]]>This project involved designing a visual identity for a fundraising campaign for NUS Giving. The design brief given was to show that anyone could aid NUS students in growing and fulfilling their full potential. The student is very much a 'work-in-progress', and every contribution would help them in their education journey. The deliverables included print flyers, magazine ads, and digital banners.
The design features hand-drawn illustrations along with photographs of objects. The student is still in a sketchy state, with the tangible objects like laptop and mortarboard depicted as photographs. This reflects the idea of the student being a 'work-in-progress'.
]]>"NUS Arts Festival 2021: A Question of Time pursues meaning and manner in the relationship between humans and Time. Given the unique nature of the times in which we are living, when a global pandemic has affected all areas of human activity, it is an opportune moment to reflect on how our concept of objective time and subjective or social time within this particular unprecedented season may lead to better understanding as to how our past and our present are connected to our future."
The NUS Arts Festival is an annual month-long event which showcases faculty and practising local and international artists alongside the best student performers. For 2021, the theme was 'A Question of Time'. We created the festival identity and designed the website, print, environment and digital graphics.

]]>HERE! is a curated showcase of diverse artistic opportunities that are available at NUS. Presented as a feast for the mind and the body, talents from campus and beyond perform across numerous stages while food vendors and other surprises punctuate the event with tasty flavours and other creative experiences.
For 2019, the theme was about Moments.
Life is a series of moments. Often, we pass through most of them without taking much notice - they just go by. We love to say we ‘live in the moment’, but how often do we do this? How often do we take the time to savour, to feel, to be thoroughly immersed what we are doing and experiencing?
A moment can be many things to many people. It could be the special moment - the one when you feel the click of connection on meeting a new friend; or the ‘aha!’ moment, when you discover a new truth. It could also be a quiet moment that you take for yourself to pause, and reflect before the grind of the new term begins - to meditate on the past, to live in the present, and to contemplate the future.
With this festival, we invite you to spend and make moments with us. At HERE! Arts Carnival, we present a special night of activities to allow us to take a step further in or out of ourselves. Watch performances by some of the best arts talents on campus, participate in interactive arts activities, and discover things about the arts, your friends, and yourself. With a new (academic) year, it’s time to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and try new things.
Make the step, take a moment, for one-night only, HERE! Arts Carnival, One Moment Please.
