The Legendary VSC GradBook
A MUST in all TP's Design GradShow
Recently i was at the opening of my juniors' GradShow at Temasek Polytechnic Convention Hall. Although the location was a bit far, it was worth the travelling! Was surprised with the standards this year, especially the photography students. They are very experimental, the only minus is that they lack personal identity.....Perhaps that's what happen when you study together, you get affected by your peers' works.
I especially like the works of Clarence Aw, they are full of emotions; the textures and depth that he created for his photoshoot are well done.

As for the graphic & advertising students, they were not as strong as the photography ones. It is surprising to see more students taking up graphic than advertising. I remember 1 or 2 years back the whole batch was into advertising. But similarly with past years' students, more than half of the graphic design students choose to specialise in illustration. Which makes those NOT doing illustrations stands out more....but only if they are good with their design (which is not the case here)....
Sarah Tan's design has the most consistency and personal identity of the graphic batch. Guess she enjoy reading idN alot, if not, her illustration style wouldn't be so much similar to those featured in the magazine.

The Key (Expressive Illustration - An self-illustrated & written pop-up book)
Project: I Am...(Final Year Project)
Another worth mentioning is Joie Cheo, this petite guy's pretty good in layout. He stood out from the rest in the graphic design batch because he didn't use any illustrations as the rest did. His was a purely graphic work, layout, grids and so on. I particularly like his editorial design, it was something different, very UK. Unfortunately, his presentation is quite bad, i remembered seeing his mounted work nearly dropping off. Not very tidy hands you got there, Bro....Joie Cheo, VSC graduate

Put aside the GradShow, i am glad to have met my lecturers, Yong Kin (Mr. Nice Guy) & Hon (VSC Pillar) *lol. Chatting with them inspires me...reminds me of the good old days, though i was disappointed that a lot of good VSC lecturers had left the campus. Guess everyone has moved on, pursuing their dreams perhaps....
