Contemporary Pop Culture

Thanks to all the friends who worked with me on the Amy Winehouse project.
I like Amy Winehouse for her guts to live life her own way, not caring about what people say about her, just doing her music, pursuing her passion.




We had a group project during our Contemporary Pop Culture module.
My task was to draw the draft sketch, design the main background graphic ( above ) and prepare the visual styling for the backdrop. My group members helped me by providing and preparing mixed media materials, reference materials, and additional backdrop props to add to the main graphic.

My group members also took on the important task to present to the class, and created an amazing awesome video that truly depicted the talent of pop singer, Amy Winehouse.
Our presentation was set to look like a Eulogy, an idea that is novel and fresh.

I am really grateful to all the people who encouraged me and gave me positive feedback for the work.

Sherry was the designer in charge of the corporate branding for The recent IDA, Silverinfocomm day project at SP.

The project was selected through pitching and remains true to itself from the beginning to the end. ( main design element being the electronic pixels. ). And here's the product from the initial stages to the end. The pixels were the main graphic element of the entire event-branding, and hence, it is kept consistent through-out the set of the entire branding collaterals.Branding collaterals include pull-up banners, paper bags, programme booklet, advertising collaterals,lucky-draw coupons, general coupons and main event banners.

Pitching for SMRT Ads/ Dementednun was commissioned to design for ITE College East

The SMRT Ads proposed were one of the few entries which got shortlisted. Dementednun is enthusiastic about advertising and believes that marketing and designing should always come together. A design must sell, and be it through emotions or logic, the most significant part of designing is it must sell.

Dementednun designed for ITE College East,
for their current ( 2008 ) National Day Celebration event at School.
She was trying to inject a festive yet corporate look-and-feel to the banner-designs. Red and white colours were used to respect the original ''red-and-white'' colour scheme of the Nation.

Dementednun's works were shortlisted by Singapore Art Museum, Night Fest, ''Deliciously Local'' event.

Though the final design had to conform to the original initial corporate branding of the entire event so as to follow-suit the style, mood and theme of its initial concept, DementedNun gained exposure through proposing the different variations of designs for the event, as well as being in charge of handling an actual project.

The final designs would not be shown in this site, as DementedNun admires and respects the fellow main designer's works.

What was produced originally from DementedNun's side would be shown in this blog.

When a local night-life club disallowed a 69 year old lady free entry because society deemed her to be ''unattractive'', Dementednun wanted to have a say in it and manifested it through her usual light-hearted portrayal of things. She wanted to show that in life, the double-standards society has on fellow women is inevitable. To gain attention, she got to be attractive, to gain charisma, she got to prove herself doubly hard as compared to the male counterparts.
