My Lifestyle As A Designer Part 2

Me and my copywriter friend went back again for KL Design Week at Sunday, but this time we went there earlier compared to the day before. Stuck in traffic jam for few hours at Saturday... This time we just get smarter! Like I expected, we reached there earlier without trapped in the living hell.

In the exhibition, KLDW featured artworks like "Double Thumbs Up" from Hong Kong, "Genius Party Beyond", "Hexa Project" and "Mari - Brand" from Japan, "MI2" from Taiwan, and "Uselesshop" from my another hometown Singapore. Heath Nash, a South African designer and Nille Svensson, a Sweden designer, their works are featured in the exhibition as well. Put all that big name in creative industry behind now,and let's talk about their works... Their creations made out of recycled material was beautiful! I took my time, enjoyed and observed every pieces of their artworks carefully, tried to get inspire by their fabulous masterpieces. Of course, I snapped more pictures this time in that exhibition to put in my magazine features.

recycled material, newspapers and papers.

After that, we went to the Secret Tent Design Bazaar. It is a creative space that showcased individual unique art crafts and designs, and these displays are represented the thoughts and insights of our young creative people in industry. Before we went back, we settled down in Starbucks for while, having one cup of nice coffee and listened to memorable classic jazz song Starbucks was played, and we started to shared our thoughts and experience that we had gained in this event. What a wonderful afternoon!

Effort of designers to evoke a sense of
fun and mystery to the KLDW project,
Secret Tents Design.

Each individual secret tent is expected to showcase their
unique works, and it provided a sneak peek into what we
expected of our design industry in the near future.

I was really opened my sights in KLDW, what I had learned there was something that I can't learn in college. Therefore, we as a designer should participate and involve more in what happened in creative world. These days, people whom wanted to be a designers are not willing to get themselves involve in our creative industry. For that reason, they are so shallow in term of knowledge and experience. That's why we have so many suck designers in our line, and they are destroying what other good designers had built in creative world so far. In creative world, there only two options, either we work our heart out, or we choose the simple way out... Quit it!
