Phantasmascope - 
Introduction
Phantasmascope, RMIT communication design end of year graduation show, its identity was inspried by the mechanics of Zoetrope, an optical devices that creates animation with the illusion of movements from still frames. 
This priciple becomes a metaphorical description of design process, a process built from simple pieces, iterations and returns. Circular motion reflects how practice of deisgn has been unfold and returning overtime, its always means come back and reflect, then repeat.

In this project, I contributed with administation works,  task and timeline settings and coordinate with students, meanwhile graphic design and printing press material for the show, curation and set up the exhibition.

Instead of categorising students work by their format, we reflected deeper on our design process, and come with this new category. 

This category works by centering designer’s intention, each project is understood by what it’s trying to response, by doing so, it reveals something more personal and invite everyone to reflect: what each other cares about, what they drawn to, and what kind of deisnger they would like to be.




Phantasmascope - Catalogue


The Phantasmascope catalogue exntends the exhibition’s core branding idea, which is to make the process visibile. While the show is presenting the finalised outcome, this publication, as what graduates in memory of their uni journey, captures the moment beneath their projects.

Catalogue designed as a vertical folded A3 to creates a slow, engaged reading experiences. The silver matallic cover reveals to the “reflection” from our concept, both literal and conceptual. Inside, students portraits are arranged in circular compositions, echo with Zoetrope inspriation. Alongside each portrait, a set of light, process-led prompts reveals personality and practice: what sustains them, what they rely on, what sound carried them through.

This Catalogue is hand-printed with RISO and hand bounded, with 350 copies.
