020: DESIGN #5 – 寻·异梦 Programme Booklet
Yes, the programme booklet for 南洋剧坊 productions 《寻·异梦》。It was due on one of those “SIA weeks”, where everybody is doing last minute rushing of SIA reports. So sorry to my groupmates who did most of the Geog SIA powerpoint presentation on their own, because I was doing this. The requirement for the cover page of the programme booklet is: (i) Flowers (ii) Balloons (iii) Super exaggerated hair (iv) Dream-like (v) Mysterious. I cracked my brain trying to piece everything together.
The booklet did not turn out as well as I would have liked, but really, considering that 90% of the whole things was done in 6 hours, I think it was okay. Much of those 6 hours were spent not on the actual photoshopping, but rather on waiting for the computer to load (each of the 16 pages of the programme booklet was bwtween 40 – 149 MB) or waiting for people to send me the photos, synopsis or reflections for their shows.
My only regret is that the printing wasn’t that great. The colour was a bit weird, chunks of the pages were cropped off, the pages were not arranged in the correct order (I did label everything nicely for them >.<).
Still, this is the sec 4’s last ever production in 南洋剧坊. Although there were lots of technical errors were made on the first night, although it wasn’t a full house, we’ll still treasure this memory. This might be the last ever drama production in my life.
Below are some pages from the programme booklet.

Hi Zhengyan! I love the design of the cover because it’s really unique and captures the balloons, flowers and super-exaggerated hair really well. The colours also exude this dreamy feel and I feel that the use of black and white with a tinge of indigo really worked! The drawing of the girl is really great
However, I think there is room for improvement in the text. I guess the title 寻异梦 can be better executed. Perhaps the hair that is blowing in the wind can extend and “wrap around” the text? Overall, this is really well done
