 October 2021: Spatial Composition Through Sketches by ms Eiling Tay

Ms Eiling Tay has been in the industry since 2005 with passion; she always expresses her work in sketches and never let her insight slip through her fingers. We are honoured to have ms Eiling Tay with us in the IAD event. She had shared with us her journey of idea-ism creation from sketches, transforming the art of lines into spaces, and her solidity beliefs which had driven her passion and the interior design industry.

 

It is always an honour to have designers from various field to express strength and philosophy into the industry to us students throughout out academic days. In this fine October 2021, we have got ms Eiling Tay, creative director of Youngblood Creation, the privilege to share with us her quality of knowledge and philosophy in design and experiences with us.

 

 During the talk, she shared her some of her project experience and situation while dealing with clients. She uses sketches in demonstrating the importance of brainstorming and resolving issues through freehand execution on her electronic device.

 

Ms Eiling Tay also showed us the design progress, brainstorming, from blank to concept, from brief to design sketches output. Other than that, she also shared some of her previous project to encourage all the student in sketching ideas, bubble diagram, zoning and space visualization, to practice become an imaginative designer and explore more in a design without limited by or relying too much on 3D software. Showing us the greatness of freehand practices on papers which could save design students and professional a lot of time throughout the design process.

 

She gave us students some tips in sketching on photos to create better impact of visualizing and imaginary of what could happen in space. Even though it might be used as a quick way to demonstrate idea or principle of space, it could be rough or not idealized design, but what is more important is not being afraid to dream.

Near to the end of the talk, Ms Eiling Tay was generous in giving out 3 tickets to us students to participate in MIID REKA Conference 2021 by posting our sketches online through Instagram.

 

Thus, congratulations to student Liew Kerou, Keeyan & Janice for wining a ticket to the talk!

 

 

 

To conclude, we had an awe-inspiring session with ms Eiling Tay. Throughout the session with her sketches demonstration and project process, it was quite an inspiring output which had inkjet us students that how line could create wonderful language on blank paper. How ideas could be loudly express with just basic scribble. Also, not to be shy and lets be proud with our own skillset be it perfect or imperfect.

Thank You.
