DESIGN PROJECT - Digital Resume

November 2019 | Illustration | 4

For this project, I was tasked to apply creative thinking and conceptualize a infographic resume to show my credentials in a visual format. I was also required to illustrate a self-portrait using Adobe Illustrator, and include it in the resume. I was inspired by a movie poster I found, and felt that it was good to display the contents of my resume as a school locker. I chose a "high school" concept for my resume as it was relevant to me at that point in time. Design wise, it gave me much more room to showcase the contents in different creative ways.

DESIGN PROJECT - CREATION OF INFOGRAPHIC

February 2020 | Graphic | 4

For this project, I was tasked to create an infographic based on a chosen theme. The topic I chose to do after research was the Sporting scene in Singapore. Afterwards, I proceeded to craft out survey questions to collect data from Singaporeans about their views on Singapore as a sporting city. Once I had sufficient data, I drafted out a sketch and a wireframe of how I wanted my infographic to look like. To make the infographic interesting and more relevant to the topic, I used elements of sports to display information, and applied visual imagery to tell a story.

OCTOBER 2019 - FEBRUARY 2020 | UI/UX Design | 4

For my Final Year Project (FYP), I was tasked to design the UI/UX of a digital records management system and develop it as a web application. It was to act as a "glorified dropbox", where the application would have the ability to store, add, remove and edit records, such that these records would be easily retrievable during future company audits.

The initial phase was where we designed the UI/UX of the system, based on the information and research provided to us by the client. This phase included processes such as persona creation, wireframing, prototyping and usability testing. As it was meant to be a professional platform, the design of the pages were kept simple and clean. The team also designed the pages according to the demographics of the target user group. Above are examples of the pages that we created for the web application.

The final phase involves refining of the high fidelity wireframes, before we proceed to develop the system into a web application. For this project, we utilised Angular to code the web application out, and PrimeNG as our supporting CSS library.
