|NIKON NO OMOIDE
PROJECT 2
|BRIEF The aim of this project is to help Nikon create a commercial shipping container kiosk with the ‘Innovation Through Space’ theme. With Nikon’s slogan, “at the heart of the image”, and catchphrase, “I am Nikon”, they signify how Nikon is metaphorically inseparable from us. It also further emphasizes on how Nikon is always there to capture our beautiful moments and memories. Thus, the ‘heart’ is a metaphorical word for ‘memories’, as memories are what keeps an image alive. To depict the concept of “Nikon’s memories”, Nikon no Omoide consists of an exhibition gallery which displays Nikon’s history timeline and camera collection. Nikon no Omoide is also a temporary exhibition gallery which stops by at three different site locations and rotates every 4 months, to metaphorically create a memorable journey for Nikon no Omoide.

|MODERN MINIMALISTIC BENCH
PROJECT 3
|BRIEF The modern minimalistic bench is suitable for the retail, commercial, and experiential industry. The furniture concept relates to unity, balance, and harmony. With the usage of white and transparent polypropylene plastic, white rubber bands, and transparent hooks, the colours represent purity and harmony. The rubber band unites the angular shapes, as each loop holds each piece together. Fishes swim in groups and in harmony, thus a school of fish can represent unity. Nevertheless, the fishtail loom style acts as an innovative joinery for the bench.

|PHOTOGRAPHY SKILL
OTHERS
|BRIEF DSLR cameras were used to take these photographs. The photographs are then edited with Photoshop’s camera raw filter function. In addition, the photograph’s exposure, brightness, contrast, texture, sharpness, shadows, noise reduction, highlights, etc. are adjusted to enhance the visual quality of the photographs. Nevertheless, several photographs were edited in black and white (monochrome) to convey the concept of ‘loneliness’ and ‘isolation’ during the covid-19 pandemic lockdown. This is because monochrome photographs have a relatively larger impact that can tell a story and to evoke the viewer’s emotions.
