Our creative students make use of design and interactive elements to create visually stimulating pieces of work. Given both the knowledge of technical skills like coding and the freedom to create, they bring about fresh perspectives to give meaning to the shapes on screen.

Integrated Digital Media was an enjoyable module which taught me essential coding skills. We created exhibits which incorporated software that we wrote, and learnt different design principles. The lecturer helped to stretch our minds creatively through both guidance and allowing us to independently solve our own issues.

Content Design for Mobile Devices was a module I have no regrets taking. With my interest for design coupled with the freedom to do on any topic for the assignment, what I got out of it was a project that was very personal to me, well worth the sleepless nights.

There really is no other module like Integrated Digital Media, that demands a great level of hard work and conscientiousness, but it is all worth it to see your creations come to life in the form of websites and interactive games.

Magazine Background

Aimed at fellow film junkies, Kim Suhyun’s digital folio, cindié, centers around independent movies around the world while bringing attention to non-commercialised movies that are less talked about or mentioned in the media. Her love for indie movies also prompted her to highlight in cindié how indie movies can be as interesting and even more artistically diverse than normal Hollywood blockbusters.

Wipe It! aimed to teach users the importance of wiping the toilet seat. Using the main character Wonder Wiper’s vision, users could “detect” and wipe away germs that are invisible to the naked eye. At the end of the game, users get to keep a printed receipt of their score to remind them of their good work, further reinforcing the campaign’s message of toilet hygiene.
