The t-shirt was given to all the students who joined the camp and was printed on sports-friendly material as the students were expected to be having a lot of activities under the hot weather. An element of customisation was also added to the back of the t-shirt so that the students, who were all new to one another, could more easily distinguish themselves.

The bottom left corner is a illustration of the gift, one side of an over-sized slipper that alluded to the fairy tale of Cinderella, that each student received to entice them to join the camp. It was enclosed in a brown paper bag that contextualised the gift in case people found it offensive to receive a slipper. The paper bag also doubled up as a container for sponsor advertisments.

 

This is a personal name card I created including a book on the creation process. I was heavily inspired by vector graphics and I unwittingly created a “logo” for myself — the pen and pencil in a cup — after much experimentation.

The project made me realise how I was actually creating a visual identity for myself through interrogation, profiling and targeting and that inspired the narrative of the book. The A5-size book mimics a military field guide on “identity deconstruction”, a process I used to create my name card.

The final card was a 9 x 5 cm card printed on Zeta (Micro) paper while the process book’s cover was printed on Zeta (N/Linen) paper.
