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

Popcorn Box
Popcorn Box is a competition-based project with Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC). The aim of this competition is to create a popcorn box based on the theme: Malaysia’s 61st Merdeka. I found this competition while growing for movies on GSC’s official page. I found this interesting because it’s somewhat like packaging design, and that the competition had the “free brief” kind of style.
So, to start off the project, I had to understand more about my country: Malaysia, so I decided to do some sketches of things that I believe represents Malaysia. For my popcorn box, I wanted to create the feeling of “success”, what Malaysia has achieved throughout the 61 years of Independence.
I decided to try to get all the different cultures, races, food, the people, the luxuries, etc. to fully capture the Malaysian moment. I wanted to show the diversity that we have here in Malaysia and how fortunate we are for it. This is how far Malaysia has come since the Tanah Melayu years. We are able to develop further, in our economy and technology, but mainly, the culture. So, after sketching, I started to plan out how I wanted my popcorn box to look like.
The requirements from GSC were specific. They embedded a file on their official page with the measurements of the popcorn box, and all contestants have to follow those measurements. So, I had to fit in the drawings that I wanted within those measurements. With that in mind, I started my digital version of the popcorn box:
Once I had finished my digital version of it, I printed a mini version prototype to see how it looks like, and to check the colours as well. This is the prototype:
Also, take a look at the actual size finished outcome of my popcorn box:
Once I had done my popcorn box, I also did a presentation board to explain briefly about the project.
