Executive Director’s Message My heartiest congratulations to graduating students of 2014! To graduate in your chosen field is a wonderful achievement of which you should be very proud. When you leave the confine of Raffles you will open another chapter of your life where you will face challenges of a very different kind to what you have so far faced while in college. I am confident that with the guidance and training that you have gained from our team of International faculty in Raffles you are well equipped to take on the world of design. Confucius once said, “Success depends upon previous preparation, and without preparation there is sure to be failure”. For all of you, your journey with Raffles is the preparation therefore failure is not an option! It is my hope that you would one day achieve great success in your chosen field of design and see your name along side world famous designers! Mr Mike Yam Executive Director

TAPESTERY / 2014
College Director’s Message It seems like with a blink of an eye and we are at the third edition of the Graduation Book. Yes, it is time for you to leave the corridor of RMI and embark on the next exciting journey in your life. Congratulations and thank you, class of 2014 for opening the door of opportunities to find your rare talent in RMI. I have no doubt you must have faced with many challenges along your journey to get here. Putting in the hard work, overcoming bumps and roadblocks, stumbling and picking yourselves up and start again, these are trials and tribulations that I am sure you would have encountered. However, these experiences will make you stronger and well equipped to take on the world that awaits you beyond the parameters of RMI. Life is like Tapestry that is interwoven with thread of fall and rise, failure and success. It has been said that, “Failure is not the opposite of success but it is part of success”. Let all the challenges that you have encountered during your time in RMI be part of your success in the future. It is my hope that you take with you fond memories of your tenure here and be proud to be counted as esteemed alumni of RMI. Last but not least, I wish you all the success in your future endeavours. Ms Anne Chung College Director

VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND MULTIMEDIA DESIGN
Programme Coordinator’s Message, Visual Communication Design is a conscious effort. Design also requires designers to predict design problem instead of merely concentrating on creating aesthetic values. A good graphic designer is capable to communicate design to their audience through visuals. Having good skills in conceptualising design is an asset for all designers, however it is essential for all graduates to have good learning attitude because your journey has just began. Educate is unending be it in your studies or in the professional field and preserving a good learning attitude will help you to be more than just a designer but a renowned designer who is not solely good at his and her job and also a trustworthy person whom clients can rely on your expertise. Chaity Tan Program Coordinator, Visual Communication

This collection speaks about my journey through the streets, lanes, bylanes, offices and monuments of Chandni Chowk, Delhi: the discoloring, the fading, the rusting, the peeling and renovation of the new ‘Chandni Chowk’. I have focused on the history and urbanization of the oldest part of Delhi.

The inspiration for my collection is prints reproduced from the carvings on the doors, windows, walls – and so on – of Chandi Chowk, Delhi. As Chandi Chowk has a cultural and Indian identity, I decided to make an Indo-Western style collection where I have used the technique of dabu printing. I have kept the silhouettes simple and Indo-Western, and taken inspiration from Chandi Chowk for both the pleating and color schemes.

The old buildings of Chandni Chowk, Delhi, have inspired my collection. I have focused on texture, layering and the weathering of the walls of the old buildings, which I have juxtaposed with the shape and structure of the famous Jantar Mantar. The techniques I have used in my collection are laser cutwork to represent the structures and marble dyeing to reproduce the effect of weathering on walls.
