- Production Technology
- The book is cloth bound in using fabric from the main colour palette purple to represent creativity and mystery. The text is debossed and printed in a metallic pink foil, again from the main colour palette to represent love and kindness but the metallic finish adds a touch of magic and playfulness, creating reflection and distortion, much like the surrealist notions this project is inspired by. The cover of the book forms a horizontal triptych, to hint at the Tri aspect of the project. Three ideas, three artists, three layers of meaning and creativity.
- Design Challenge
- The project is inspired by The Exquisite Corpse, a method of collaging numerous designs by several artists into one collaborative composition. A creative mash-up, with international participants collaborating to produce one multicultural creative piece. Think of it like a design relay race. The artworks generated are displayed on the online gallery and subsequently sold as high-resolution downloads. All profits from the sales will be donated to the partnering Singaporean charity TWC2; Transient workers Count Too; thus, coalescing international creative communities, building bridges, and providing a channel for diverse collaboration
