report report report time!!



overall.

i enjoyed myself in the exhibition.
enjoy the process of.
looking at my works.
other's works.
sharing our time capsules.
the conversations.
somehow other than knowing myself more.
for me.
i knew my classmates more.




my project: don't trust memory.




it's a reflection of what it meant to me.
my identity.
my thoughts.
my struggles in unravelling about memories.
it's a personal journey.
and presenting tru this exhibition.



2 posters:



im happy with the final design.
the mood.
and strong image.
pretty clean and simple.
yet with a message behind.
just feel it reflects how i view memory.



archive as "such":




for me.
it's an interesting way to present my collection.
overall it has a strong graphic element.
that kind of nostalgic presence.
the raw and "unfinished" feel.
the handwritten and the polaroid frame ties together with the poster.
however if given an opportunity to have a big personal space.
haha not possible in this case.
would love to arrange it such that it in a long strip.
so that audience sees it like a roll of film.
and shows the vast memories we have.
taking time to walk tru and recall memories one by one.



translation of archive:







a series of thoughts.
journey in uncovering the mysteries of memories.
understanding.
and yet getting lost and tangled in the process.
what i like is that the process wasnt summarized.
into just a series which clearly presented the essence about memory.
instead.
the only way to understand for yourself and relating to it.
is to look deep into your own memory.
that's why i chose to present in a simple diary way.
attached is a polaroid frame.
which again shows that what we want to rem.
we control what we keep as memory.
what i feel or remember.
is different from how you'd perceive.
the books seems quite subtle.
a possible improvement would probably to simplify further.
a possible way to bring across the intention more direct.
rather than needing the audience to read tru the book.
there may be another possibility.
if want to let the audience understand in a faster manner.
the design and texture of the book could be improved.
to reflect the emotion and environment as the author is writing.
rather than making it too clean?




time capsule:






handwritten letter to the class.
personal.
words of encouragement.
quotes.
love.
ways to improve.
if possible i'd like to write it individually to every classmate a letter.
rather than writing 1.
and at the end keeping it myself.
purpose is for all to keep their own.
and years down the road to relive that moment.
wasted.
haha.





some other images.
of things that i was drawn to.




thank you lam.
really love the quote u created.


thank you zi rui.
hmm i tried to give it sun.
haha not sure what's supposed to turn out.
hope for something? ^^





alvin.
really love the poster and it's treatment.
love the idea of getting inspiration.
from as simple as drawings of monster.
into typography.
