searching for inspiration

First group outing! :D Yay!

We went to Bukit Bintang area yesterday,
figuring the fact that it's the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur
it's definitely fitting of the project there.
Checking that the title of the project is Visual Language - Signs in the city
it's just right that we go into the city to find signs right? :P


Christmas decorations were up in the malls~
our mission was basically distracted because of them!
I couldn't resist getting group pictures utilising christmas tree balls :D

from left to right: Mei Yuin, Tze Pei, Yin

There's so many things that are in the city,
that it had got us quite a few running inspirations!
We tried to focus on the stuffs that lies around in the city,
things that are quite distinctively shout "city"
but yet goes on unnoticed or disregarded.

 ahh~ hardworking members :D

We walked all around the Bukit Bintang area.

Making shopping malls as destination stops,

we went through KLCC, Pavilion, Sungei Wang and Times Square.

And it was in between the walks that we started picking up

all these things along the streets
that had made us think could be made into the project.

Ideas ran from the  megastructure that is symbolic of Kuala Lumpur,

the buildings in city;

this is the Petronas Twin Towers!

Mannequins are interesting too, right?

.. and then there's the different patterns of sidewalks in KL

 

and the arrows on the roads;

the stickers, advertisements (typography) on the streetlights;

the multiple lines of trains and public transport in the city;

and those staircases that brings you to all the different places;

street signboards;

interesting use of N there~

and the road signs;

to small things like trash left on the sidewalks;

 and there were observations on

the different lamp post designs, phone booths and even bus stops!

Now now now, settle down. What should we be doing eh?
