Singapore Jewelry Design Awards 2014: Growing Love

CONCEPT

DESIGN1: PAST

DESIGN2: PRESENT

DESIGN3: FUTURE

This competition had a theme of Past, Present and Future. It had an interesting theme so I decided to take part in it and since it is jewelry which I had not get in touch with before, I gave it a try.

My concept is named Growing Love, which portrayed the growth of love, whether it is family love, friendship, or boy-girl relationships. It starts out like a seed in the beginning, to blossoming with flow, and eventually becoming something that can contain meaning in the future. I made use of simple design details, but with significant design concept and meaning behind the simple outlook.

IFFTI Fashion Illustration competition 2014: Breaking Wild

This is a illustration fully rendered on PS.

The concept is named Breaking Wild, promoting bravery and freedom in achieving dreams and goals in life.

Although it was not selected for finalist, I am still very satisfied with this illustration because of its strong concept and mindset I placed in it. This concept first came to me when doing a school assignment regarding career wear. I used 2 elements which I am not fond of (career wear and animal prints), and combined them with a strong concept which motivated me into doing my best in it. Thus when I received this competition, I strengthened the concept from before and applied it in my illustration.

This was done during my holidays where I came upon this tutorial teaching how to crochet a baby dress. This was the result after I tried crocheting it. 2 buttons were placed front (decorative) and back (fastening). The embellishment around the waist are acrylic cords with pretzel knots.

Art Of Shoes 2013: Beyond Holes

Beyond Holes

Ballerina Flats

Wedge Sandals

High Heel Pumps

Actual product

This was the first competition I took part in. Along with it, we attended a 4-day shoe course by TAF.TC to learn about the foundation of shoe production. We were called to produce 3 designs: a ballerina flats, a sandal wedges, and a pumps. the general theme given was Summer Fun.

My concept was named Beyond Holes. It portrayed the restrictions present in everyday life, yet fun is where these restrictions are overcome. It is only when you break through these little holes (representing restrictions), that you are able to find true fun in life. Blue was used to highlight the transformation of "everyday blues" to a fun element.

I was lucky enough to be chosen as the top 8 finalist for the competition. All 3 pairs of shoes by the 8 finalists were manufactured and 1 pair of shoes was worn by the model for the final judging. The shoes came out great, with only one disappointment where the key element, which are the holes on the heels, was unable to be executed due to time limitations. However, it was still a good experience!
