Ais Kacang x IDD 2018
Ais Kacang x IDD 2018 is a collaboration project between final year BGDSHU and BIDSHU students. The aim is to present a Malaysian dish, Ais Kacang, and visualize it for a far future. Our group consists of 7 students, 2 from BGDSHU and 5 from BIDSHU. We decided to tackle on overpopulation and how it contributes to pollution. But first, take a look at the team :
After forming our group, we began brainstorming on ideas on how to have a presentable Ais Kacang. We had so many meetings, that it is hard to count the number of times. But our meetings are never dull, cause we always crack jokes and laugh at it for hours. Just look at us here :
But anyway, during the discussion, while we ate our lunch, we started to think of how an Ais Kacang would look like in the future after overpopulation have taken over. Our vision of the situation is that resources would be limited and people would fight each other to obtain their needs. Blood will shed! So, once that discussion was done, we individually started sketching our own ideas to see which would suit the best. In the end, we decided to use back everyone’s sketch by merging it into one. Voila :
We then had our interim presentation to pitch our idea. We volunteered Emma to be our presenter as we felt she had extremely good presenting skills. This is our presentation slides :
After sketching, we started planning out our materials and where to get them. Everyone had to get different items. For me, it was acrylic, watercolour, brushes, Chinese ink, and a palette. We gathered together outside of the Mezzanine Floor on Thursday to start our masterpiece. Take a look at us here enjoying ourselves while making our Ais Kacang :
We really enjoyed ourselves while building the prototype. After building the prototype, Pavitra and I designed the presentation boards for our final presentation. Below are how our boards look like :
On presentation day, we asked Emma to present for us again, after her wonderful presentation during the interim. We brought in our prototype to show our lecturers the outcome of the project. This is us after our presentation with our Ais Kacang :

My Reflection :
-
I enjoyed my time in this group
-
We had good communication skills when speaking to one another
-
We support one another during the project and make sure each contributed something
-
Overall, it was a well accomplished project and I had lots of fun

Lighting Design
Lighting Design is another collaboration between Graphic Design students and Interior Design students. The aim of this project is to create a lighting which is usable for our upcoming graduation showcase. Each student is divided into groups of 5, which consists of 4 interior students and 1 graphic student. Take a look at the brief: (I didn’t have a good angle to take the picture at the time)
Since the brief is not too clear, here is a rundown of it:
- Students are supposed to create a lighting design using upcyling materials.
- The lighting has to be the actual size for display.
- It has to represent the graduation showcase theme: DAZE.
- Supported with an A2 presentation board.
After the briefing, I ended up with Andy, Karyean, Jason, and Daniel for this project. After forming our group, we started to discuss about our project. First, I explained to the others the meaning behind DAZE, the concept, its colours and hidden meanings before we started to discuss on the lighting’s concept. We wanted to some kind of kaleidoscope effect with the looks of a telescope. Take a look at some of the examples found online:
With these references, we discussed on different ways to present the design and how to modify it to look and fit the DAZE theme. We thought to have different designs at the slot area to have different lighting vibes each time it is shine. We also thought of doing the lighting for a photobooth at the showcase. Here are some sketches of our development stage before we prep for our interim presentation which will decide the next stage of this project.
After all the discussions and planning, we did a prototype of the light for the presentation. Once the prototype was done, we discussed on how the presentation was going to go. We decided to have Andy represent the group as he was the one that came up with the idea, and has better knowledge around the concept of the lighting.
After the presentation, we started to make the lighting.
After building the light, this is how the final outcome looks like:
