Case Study #2: Loading Time of Graphics in Website
My second case study would be the graphics for my online portfolio website. Because I incorporated flash into my website, the loading time can get really slow depending on the internet connection. When I first placed flash files into my website, it takes quite a while to load the files. This was because the size of my flash files was more than 100kb. So to reduce the loading time, I compressed all of images in my website. Other than that, I also compressed the images I used in my flash files. This made my flash files smaller in sizes and thus, improving the loading time in my website.

Case Study #1: Portfolio Website
An online portfolio is where I showcase my works, skills and even my identity. This is why I specifically designed my portfolio website so that it shows my designing style. Because I am one who is a big fan of minimalism and also colours, I make use of these elements in my design to portray them as my identity. My works are usually full of colours as I like to experiment with different colours in my designs. Keeping that in mind, I decided to make my website as simple as possible so that it won’t take away my works from the spotlight.
The screenshots above shows the design directions that I had before.

“HEROES” was created for my team’s Final Year Project. The objective of this mini game is to educate kids of moral values and at the same time, to let them have fun while learning. It is specifically designed for kids of ages 6 to 12.
The story goes around 4 teenagers and each episode showcases their different abilities. The kids’ task is to complete missions and become ‘heroes’ for saving the day.

This was a short film created by my team for First Film Festival. My Little Dream is about a little girl who is a victim of abuse, whose dream is have her family happy like before her Dad lost his job.
Our team decided to touch on the topic abuse because there are many cases (not only in Singapore) whereby due to circumstances such as losing jobs, it will lead to abuse. We never really know what happens behind closed door. Therefore, our team decided to do on child abuse to create this awareness.

This was a website design for a class assignment for the module, Interactive Entertainment. The task was to take an existing brand and revamp its website. I chose Yami Yogurt’s website and created my own new branding, ‘Frozen Delight!’
Why I chose Yami Yogurt was because I feel that the website should be livelier. The original website design will not make me remember the branding at all. That is why I decided to revamp it into ‘Frozen Delight’. From the word frozen, I designed the website in a way that it gives a frozen feeling. I also made use of colours that would portray that feeling.
