Studio Philosophy

We strive for efficiency in the little amount of time that we get together but work close to produce smart designs that works. We place ourselves in the not only the client's shoes but also have a wide perspective on how the client's customers would react to our designs. We like enforce that every idea is a possibility and there can never be too much when it comes to brainstorming. Being 'Blank' designers, we proclaim ourselves to be versatile in several fields of design. If other studios can do it, we don't see why we can't do it better.

Preparation of Final Report

Hello Blank Designers!

The semester is coming to an end, and I'm pretty sure everyone's all hyped up about it. We are almost done with the GRAP2256 brief, with just the report to go. What I need from you guys are the timeline sheet (personal record of the amount of time you spent on each and every collateral for the respective brief) and also a final representation of your work done.

For the representation of work, all you have to do is just FIT the FINAL WORKS that you have done into an A4 sized paper. Do note that you should leave a 15mm margin on all sides for header and footer.

DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE HERE AND FIT YOUR WORK WITHIN THE AREA.

Please provide the final representation of work TOMORROW in soft copy and personal TIMELINE SHEET so I can include into the final report and have everything done by tomorrow. Thank you!

Cheers!

An example of what I should be expecting tomorrow for compilation of everything for the report.

Final Rehearsal of Presentation

Dear fellow Blank Designers!

Astrid, Haitham and I talked about preparation of the presentation for next Monday and so we have decided to do a rehearsal this coming Friday (26th September 2008) at Building 88. Just getting the points right and to avoid further hiccups during the actual day itself.

We are also required to compile the works of our respective briefs, therefore it would be AWESOME if we could get everything done by then and have them photographed. This provides a much more uniform outcome, emphasizing in the consistency of the flow.

Anything else that needs to be suggested, please bring forth and we shall discuss on Friday itself.

DATE: 26 SEPTEMBER 2008 (FRIDAY)
TIME: 2:00PM. No later than that, please.
WHERE: RMIT Building 88.... OUR BUILDING..

Thank you for your co-operation!

Have a nice day!

-Mun Hoong, Yap
