CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Michael Carrick
Art, Design and Media are ways that we explore, contemplate, and improve the world around us. It’s how we communicate our understanding of the natural, social, and built environments. To do this we apply sensitivity, aesthetics and ethics to all we create. Each artist and each artwork has a unique story, a special context, and a direct and potentially profound effect upon the world. This means that imagination, innovation, creative and critical thinking are the fundamental. The role that art, design, and media technologies play in the dialogue between cultures, and in transforming the way of life of people around the world is also an important consideration in all that we do. Because we are a young, middle adults located in Singapore, new relationships between traditional and contemporary media, and local and world cultures are being pioneered here. We consider BRILLIANCE to be a living laboratory, a model of the global community where respect for life and diversity is fundamental, and each student & employer is an ambassador. We welcome those from all countries of South East Asia, Asia, and the larger international environment and encourage them to bring their special experience, knowledge and insights to their studies. 6
As our planet and its ecosystems are increasingly fragile, our collective responsibility as stewards of its resources means that our students are also asked to consider issues of sustainability in all that they do. Our green building, and our garden city and campus, are an inspiration to us all in this regard, a reminder of our ultimate goal of living in harmony with nature and the universe. Finally, whether your interests are in design communication, interactive media, visual communication or product design we are committed to fostering your voice as an independent artist, designer or scholar by providing you with the conceptual and technical skills necessary for professional employment, research or advanced study in the arts and related fields. With this, you will become part of an exciting new wave of dazzling talent that is already and transforming Singapore into a major creative centre in the South East Asia. And please remember that for your dreams to come true, you need to keep dreaming.

ABOUT
DesignSingapore Council DesignSingapore Council was established in 2003 to help develop the nation’s design sector. This follows from the Economic Review Committee’s report which identified the creative industry as one of the three new sectors (including education and healthcare) for economic growth. Developing the design sector can help to enhance Singapore’s value proposition; as well as contribute to the country’s economic growth and social progress. DesignSingapore Council is part of the Ministry of Communications and Information. Why Design Matters? Design is the Original Idea in Everything. Design goes beyond invention. Design is about the things we make, the places we shape, the illustrations we compose, the human interfaces we configure, and the processes and events we organise. It is material, visual, as well as a way of thinking. The design process brings together art, technology, business, and science, integrating a range of considerations that are crucial to human potential, environmental sustainability, wealth creation and innovation. Most of all, design is aspirational and visionary. In an increasingly ideas-driven economy, design has become an important enabler for transformational change to solve problems, balance our priorities and interests, realise potential, create new value and markets, and improve the quality of life. 8
“Design is about a style of life, and not merely lifestyle. It is the original idea in everything – driven by concepts, and generated by a process of transformation and representations – giving our material culture its value, meaning, and balance. The importance of design is ever increasing as the world experiences an exponential rate of change and obsolesces. Singapore needs to constantly re-design itself to move up the value chain as we have no natural resources and hinterland to fall back on. Design will create new value propositions for Singapore to remain globally relevant and competitive in the midst of the growing regional and international competition. For Singapore to stay ahead, we must develop a creative culture to attract and retain the best talent. Place remains a critical factor for hubbing and incubating creativity, innovation and talents – and design has an important role in creating outstanding facilities, architecture, places, systems and touch points to make Singapore one of the best places for creative people to live, work and play.”
