OUTSIDE THE GADGET CITY - PREVIEW


Finally! This week marks the end of my three years of Diploma Course. Life, for the past six years, was like a roller coaster. Six years straight of design studies, I have decided to take a little break. Take design easy for the time being! However, the last project I did in school was my favourite so far. I guess I can't get away from drawing, it's part of me and has been inside me since I was a child.

 "Outside the Gadget City" is a story of two kids who grew up with gadgets. They had been living in The Gadget City since they were born and they have never experienced nature as it was separated clearly outside the city's boundaries. The story implies the current situation of the children growing up with gadgets in the city. Nature was clearly defined from the houses and experiencing nature is not needed anymore. This publication aids and encourage children to step out into the nature, to use nature elements (like leaves, branches, sand etc) to help the characters in the story along the way to complete tasks that the characters faced.

OUTSIDE THE GADGET CITY - IN THE MAKING



Recent weeks have been dreadful for me but worthwhile after seeing my little "babies" born in such a short period of time! Look out for the next post when everything is done~
Here's a little song to share, Featherstone by The Paper Kites.
Part of the inspirations for this project. =)
