Day 9 - JKR

Many of us are now under pressure of getting work done for our presentation on Friday but today would be the last class outing activity and it was actually a good one ^^

We all went back to the National Singapore Design Center. Our destination was on the top floor but somewhere along the way we got trapped in a stairwell XD

Anyways, our destination was at JKR graphic design and we were all given an interesting presentation on JKR in a cosy space in their office. JKR is a leading graphic design company from England (?) and they specialise in designing packaging and branding for alot of recognisable and big brand name brands.

They started to expand to other parts of the world not too long ago and have many clients at the Singapore branch, 3 being from Australia XD

After the presentation, we were all free to go, get lunch and do as we please. I stayed back a to talk to one of the designers there and she gave out some business cards and a graphic design reference book. Even though we were all free to go and do as we pleased, the tutors were going to show us a place where we could buy some materials for our presentation and also there was a graphic design book store close by. Everyone ended up going XD

Getting there, I headed straight for the book store first and OMG,...so many good design books for all different design related subjects and were pretty cheap too XD

Theey had a sale with 30% off and just showing our UC ID cards got a little extra discount off. I wanted to buy some of the graphic design books but they would weigh my luggage too much as I had plans to travel in Japan next week. I still bought 2 books for hobby purposes.    

The awesome graphics book store with the graphic design books 

As the name of the shop suggests!! art material heaven XD

After lunch, it was back to the studio to do some work. We worked on designs for our product and product packaging. This continued through out the evening, which meant that we would be up till early hours of Friday..... .
