Students Showcase

Next, we were treated to a tour around the showcase to view the students works, here's some highlights of what the students exhibited:

1) Unconventional Packaging Design

Inspired by a super clean toilet he's seen, Aiman, who is also the showcase leader, decided to display a whole toilet bowl in his booth. This was in conjunction with his packaging design, which encompases the concept of cleanliness. The product in show, was a toiletries product.

2) Advertising Design for Racing Series

A lifelong racing fan, Ka Man was inspired to create a whole new brand based on racing series, such as, World Endurance Championship, Gran Turismo and Formula 1. His ambition is to work with motorsports teams, by designing their merchandise and car liveries.

3) The Peaceful Stories of Islanders

A mix of booklet design and photography, Wan Ni and Ka Ho embarked on a trip to Pulau Ketam to document the lifestyle of the famous island and turned it into a story. The design was simple and based on the lifestyle of the residents of Pulau Ketam, simple and peaceful.

4) IP Character Design

Xiang Ting loves Tigers. She created a stationary brand that connects tourists with Malaysia's rich culture. As we all know, Malaysia's national animal, is the "Harimau" (Tiger). Xiang Ting also created Blind Box, Keychain, Packaging, Calendar, Postcards, Posters and more.
