In the last of three posts on the recently concluded ASPaC* Awards 2017, we join our lecturer Jessica Chua, and second-year students Chua Ming Hui and Kelly Rahardja from the BA(Hons) in Design Communicaton programme as they tour the Printing Museum, Tokyo during the post-competition leg of their Japan trip. For typographic and printing history aficionados, this museum is surely heaven on earth!

We blazed into December with more awards in hand! This time, good news hails from Japan's ASPaC* Awards 2017. This first of three posts will foreground the works of two second-year students from our BA(Hons) in Design Communication programme: Chua Ming Hui and Kelly Rahardja were awarded the Japan Foundation Award and JPDA** Award respectively over the weekend. Having pitted themselves against the best of Asia, we trust the deserving winners will savour the rest of their Japan trip :)
