The Design

About A Garden for All Konsepsyon Polis

Pwojè sa a se yon pwojè edikatif. Se te yon devwa sou Konsepsyon Tipografik bay etidyan nan edikasyon siperyè ki soti nan School of Art, Design and Media, NTU, Sengapou. Devwa a te mande pou chak etidyan desine Drop Caps kòm yon fanmi polis karaktè. Rezilta a te plizyè fanmi polis karaktè kreye pa etidyan yo epi enspire pa plant, bèt, ak karakteristik inik Singapore Botanic Gardens. Apati sa, pi bon Drop Caps yo te enprime nan liv A Garden For All, pibliye pa editè Epigram Books nan Sengapou.

Production Technology
This project originated as part of a teaching assignment in the course 'Typography III'. It is an industry oriented assignment whose outcome is the publishing of the produced typographical works, emulating a real design commissioned scenario. To this effect, a group of students from 'Typography III' course from the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM), were invited to collaborate with Epigram Books under the Creative Direction of Associate Professor Danne Ojeda. Students conducted field research in Singapore Botanic Gardens, after which they created original Drop Caps in the form of contemporary illustrated type designs for the book 'A Garden for All'.
