Bangkok’s creative industries have recently identified the Bang Rak district as their new creative neighborhood of choice. Through the rise of the creative class, the activities have shown potential signs of segregation between inbound new businesses and local residents/trade. Bang Rak locals perceive a lack of opportunity to raise their concerns of possible gentrification and social issues that are already occurring within their own community. In response to this problem “บางรัก 10500”, referring to the Bang Rak postal code, focuses on a collection of six publications that explore Bang Rak’s potential futures as a creative district, and the consequence of gentrification process informed by six locals. Each publication is intended to characterize an individual’s daily routines, experiences, and attitudes toward a creative district and gentrification through the lens of narratives captured on film photography and annotations in an intimate and personal manner. “Cultural Probes” are a design research methodology tool kit that allows respondent’s to report their experiences, perceptions, intuitions, and key values on Bang Rak’s future as a creative district. This toolkit includes three separate components for personal expression: an interview, a questionnaire, and a camera to document relevant data. บางรัก 10500 intends to create further knowledge for the future development of the creative district’s stakeholders, creative start up businesses, TCDC (Thailand Creative & Design Center), government and NGOs, informed by feedback loops from Bang Rak’s locals. This archive of ephemera seeks to create awareness and further open discussion on possible social implications.

My project is an advertising campaign for my bag brand which was designed to suit a modern lifestyle of an office worker.

Based on my research, an office workers are limited to formal dresses everyday let alone colours or even patterns. This will disrupt the rules of the company they work for. Furthermore, office workers also have more than one personally in a day hence a change in their personality according to various tasks they are involved with in that day. For instance, having to dress and act more formal when they meet their clients compared to when they are at the office where they can dress less formal to increase mobility.

The reason I have chosen to create a bag brand was because bags are everyday essentials and which could represent the user’s personality very well.

In a nutshell, my brand encourages my audience to switch their looks and personalities anytime they wish. The bag itself was designed to look smart including convertibility and the ability to change into a more playful look.

Working in the middle of the city can cause exhaustion and also cause people to feel the lack of refreshment. The majority people of Bangkokian, the workers, are the group of people, who work extremely hard in the urban area. They feel need of having their own personal space and take a break during the day.

One of the method that people could get refreshment during the day is from taking a rest. Lumphini Park, the public park in the middle of Bangkok city, is a perfect spot for people in the city to come and sleep in. The area could provide nature, the nice air breeze, the shadiness of the tree, and the furniture for people to sleep with their relaxed posture just like living at their own home, which during the daytime is the only chance for them to come and relieve their tiredness from hardship of working in the city, in which your daytime bed project is a series of photograph that shows the value of the green space and shows the relaxation of how this area could provide like Lumphini Park, which should increased their numbers, so that the hard workers in the city could have place to heal themselves once again.

To show the value of the green space, the series of photograph is captured in both wide shot and medium shot of three di erent occupation that represent the working class including the maid, o ce worker, and the street vendor. In which the the wide shot are showing the vast scenery and the characteristic of lumphini park, on the other hand the medium shot focused on the relaxation posture of the subject, which are exaggerated to emphasis on the appreciation of the green space.

Thai design languages relate as how we solve problems through the adaptation of everyday objects and reinventing to suit a certain situation. This uniqueness demonstrates the creativity in manipulating objects that does not focus on purely aesthetic but rather through it’s utilities and function.

The brand communicates the “Thai-ness” qualities through stationery design that manipulates in function from one to another. The method within this design is to translate urban elements roles into usable souvenirs from its function through the original Thai way of using it. The Yaowarat’s chaotic streets are unique in its improper use of urban elements such as chairs, street barriers, vendor carts and cones. Despite the wrongly use urban objects, it surprisingly aids the organization of the streets.

Streetware designs are heavily influenced from utility, vernacular form and dynamic of urban object that forms the elegance and understatement of the brand’s product line. The goal is to design a souvenir brand with international appeal that are accessible to tourists. Streetware is a contemporary stationary brand injected with a functional design that showcases Bangkok street design tradition and appreciation for the values of classic local wisdom and vernacular design. The brand seeks to combine in functional quality products that provide a special story of tourist’s trip through the way tourist engage with the product. Simple, functional, creative and versatilities are product attributes that will share tourists the unexpected, unexplored as well as familiar aspects of Thai whilst serving the role in defining Bangkok’s extraordinary.

While some people want to have children to expand their families, orphans want alternative families to complete their future. However, the information about child adoption in Thailand is often inaccessible, in consequence, many questions asked by potential parents who want to adopt the child remain unanswered. My question is “How might it be possible to supply useful information about the orphans and the adoption for potential foster parents who want to adopt the child?”

My project is to create a platform that supports potential parents by supplying useful information that is approachable which is the handbook about adoption. I started from collecting the information that potential parents want to know or interested in, then gathered the answers for them. I had done more research and gone in-depth interview with the psychologists, social workers, and the non-governmental organisation. I received the support from Phayathai, Prakked, and Baan Mahamek babies home to answer the questions, as well as the interview from people who had experiences and concerns about child adoption. Thus, this is more than just a book. Not only does it give the necessary information, but it also shows the attitude and perspectives of the participants which create emotional touch to the audiences both in the form of video and picture set.

But one of the most important factors is the Environment of the counseling space. However, the limitations of the current provisions tend to generate an unwelcoming, confined and clinical environment. This results in a less productive and effective therapy. “How might spatial design help generating a comforting and healing environment for the counseling space provided for human trafficking survivors suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?”

Living with Schizophrenia is similar to the concept of living in another world. People with this disorder see things, hear voices, and sense the earth unlike anyone does due to the excess of Dopamine in their brains and more various factors. Unlike physically injured patients who are treated with kindness, people with Schizophrenia are being looked as if they are non-humans. It is understandable how Schizophrenia symptoms are intimidating since psychotic episode can hurl in anytime, but still empathy is also needed for the Schizophrenia individuals. The main cause of the misconceptions from others is due to the lack of true understanding in people with Schizophrenia point’s of view.

‘The Anthurium’ is a frame by frame animation created, based on a tragic case of a person with schizophrenia along with the other main schizophrenia symptoms from the selected stories of people with Schizophrenia visual hallucinations. The protagonist is written to face with visual hallucinations along with the other common Schizophrenia symptoms including hearing voices, seeing bright colors, and obsessing with false beliefs. The film thrusts the audience into the protagonist’s shoes by telling the story through the point of view of the character - the woman, making it hard for the audience not to feel empathy towards the protagonist’s feeling and be able to imagine more of what it’s like having Schizophrenia hallucinations.

Migration has long been a subject matter around the world that has brought along the distribution of cultures, languages, foods and other various globalization. ‘All Walks of Life’ is an alternative publication that explores the lives and cognitions of modern migration through my circle of foreign associates living in Thailand.

The project first originated from my own ‘identity struggle’ growing up as a child of an immigrant parents. Thus, as a way to understand my own root, I look deeper into the memoirs of my parents’ believing that, “the present is the result of the past, and that’s an unescapable truth, so to have any hope of understanding where we are now, or where we might go, we have to look at where we have been” (Chulachak Chakrabongse). The collective memories led to the stories of many more people revolving around myself projecting value and assorted lessons in life.

I hope the collections and stories of these ordinary people can further reflect greater narratives regarding culture, society and history. And the fact that there is diversity to these group of people in the way they adapted, or how their backgrounds/history effects their decision-making, suggest a contemporary side to immigrant stories. ‘Migrating’ is much more than just physically moving from one place to another, but that there are so much cultures embedded in these group of people regardless of where they came from. Conclusively, we might not be able to choose our nationality, but we can always choose where we settle and decidedly call home.

Till today, the constructions of expectations regarding love creates certain perceptions that leaves opportunities for disappointments when love fails. Love is unpredictable, and the fact that scholars are unable to define love, reveals how little humans understand love today. Therefore one must not judge love, but learn to adjust with an open-mind, as humans are still learning how to love better as grow. Love must be learned, and learn again simultaneously, there is no end to it.

A preposition to design a corporate identity for intergenerational living in Thailand. The project aims to bridge the gap between seniors and children. The project intends to use communication design to support future-aging problems the country potentially faces. Two learning outcomes are proposed: Brand guidelines and a concise set of marketing collaterals.

I have extended the design process further by creating intergenerational design: a design that involve children and seniors to produce. My design brief is to Creates a fluid identity for intergenerational living that based from interaction between H (represents seniors) and h (represents children). The arrangements of 2 alphabets should also create a space for handprint and flexible enough to use it in different layouts and medias.

In the future, I would like to explore this project on a variety group of seniors with a varied group of children. I believe that project that involves an intergeneration relationship will be a good solution to the society if the project turns out to be successful, the scope of work will be extending beyond just creating an identity. The most important thing should be about public communication. Another purpose of this project is to acknowledge to society about our current senior situation, and why intergenerational is beneficial.

Women and men today believe that they are more likely to be harassed by strangers. However, the statistic shows that 91.5% of sexual assaults victims know their attackers. Moreover, the top attackers are their friends and acquaintances, and the motivating factor that causes sexual assaults is alcohol.

Even though women and men may feel uncomfortable or harassed by their friend’s actions, they often do nothing when it happens as they were uncertain to speak-up due to friendship. Both women and men don’t want to label their friends as harassers, so they would tell themselves to let it go. This can lead to dangerous consequences like sexual assaults as intentions from both woman and man could be misread due to alcohol consumption.

Therefore the purpose of ‘Speakup!’ aims to help raise more awareness about sexual harassment. The game design will help both women and men be more aware that their friends can become harassers and empower them to speak up when they feel uncomfortable or harass by a friend’s action to stop the harassment before it leads to sexual assaults. The game will also enable women and men to open up and share their experiences on sexual harassment so that they can discuss which action is acceptable and which is harassment for them before going out to the nightclubs, where most sexual assaults happened due to the high alcohol consumption.

Tea came to Britain when a Portuguese princess married to the king of England, which she brought tea along with her. As time goes by, when tea became more accessible than before. More people at the middle level of society had access to it, so tea was the first commodity from overseas to finds in the mass market in Britain.

Curative Craft is a co-creating project that aims to help individuals deal with their ‘Automatic Thoughts’ in a private and comfortable space.

Automatic Thoughts are subconscious thoughts that pop up in our minds when they are at their weakest, such as “I am never going to be good enough”, “my life is so unfair”, and “I am so unloved”. All of the above have the power to make us feel emotionally sad, anxious and even depressed. These inherently human, yet persistent thoughts hindering our ability to think positively can be so powerful that they fundamentally affect who we are, as most are advised to seek help from licensed psychologists. However, this train of thought has not yet reached the minds of many Thais who are hindered by their pride to open up to another human being (Sukanich, Pramote), and has caused many to view seeking help from a psychiatrist in a negative context.

This is why Curative Craft exists, the delicate techniques of hand-crafted paper tools are used to help curate one’s mind in a personal private space, “some people who can’t verbally express their feelings may need these tools” (Sukanich, Pramote). The designs mirror the therapeutic treatment as Dr. Pramote Sukanich, a licensed psychologist in Thailand, guides me throughout this project, so the tools can be guaranteed for its therapeutic professionalism.

Remember, a clear mind is not impossible to reach; all one needs is a little guidance with Curative Craft.

Childhood memories are like shadows, they follow you whenever and wherever you go or no matter how old you are. We sometime slip our minds to notice our own shadows because we are accustomed of having them with us since we remember. These days, many people moved from where they grew up. Our surroundings are changing everyday. Some moved from living in the house to an apartment in the middle of the concrete jungle. We grew up, we changed. Our childhood memories are slowly disappearing and have lost its place to stay. We forget the feeling of those memories we used to have or who we used to be. This project reflects fun and happiness of childhood memories. The aim is to revive those happy childhood memories through the forms of objects from home environment with the iconic images extracted. By letting these them be parts of your house, they will work as a reminder to give you a flashback to your good old days. Each object is categorised by its function and linked with the related topics in order to represent different memories, such as outdoor activities , entertainment and food. Mixed media, such as collage, printing, painting and sewing are mainly used as the technique. The layering effect is the metaphor of our memories. The older you get, the more layers of memories you have, some are clear and some are not.

This speech rallied the Germans people to go to war and plays a crucial role in the initiation of World War I.based from my research “clean conscience” and “clean hands” are reflected in the practice in sword fighting and the making of traditional Thai swords.Unlike other weapons which are cheaper to produce and requires less training.The sword is a luxury weapon and required more skills to wield.These two main factors established the sword as weapon a for the wealthy,aristocrats and nobility on the other hand for a peasant to wield the sword he must work his way up by showing his combat prowess,leadership and gained wisdom through many wars and battles. because of this The sword became a symbol of power,wisdom, and achievements for the soldiers including Thailand.Today sword are symbolized in many of the organization emblems in Thailand, such as The Royal Thai Police,The Territorial Defense or even in civil organization such as The Ministry of Justice.

Some tattoos have a personal meaning, some are done on a whim; but there are some tattoos that are special—even magic. Unlike any other tattoos, Sak Yant tattoo is believed to protect the wearers from harms, to bring good luck, and to raise attraction from other people. However, once inked, the wearers must stick strictly to the rules of good deeds in order to maintain their powers.

With its honorable history and its good intention that deserves respect and understanding, The Magic Tattoo project will provide the information that allows the audiences to be more knowledgeable towards the format and intention of Sak Yant tattoo through graphic design with mixed techniques. The information is divided into 3 sections to help the audiences understand Sak Yant step by step; from learning Sak Yant components and their meaning, understanding the preparation and process of obtaining the tattoos, and experiencing with various compositions of Sak Yant tattoos from the real Sak Yant wearers based on different purposes and personal desire.

Instead of documentary or a set of photographs, The Magic Tattoo used sewing technique with graphic and photograph printing on fabric. By using graphic design, this would help visualize the detail of Sak Yant tattoo clearer since the tattoos on bodies are small and unclear— and to present their significant process and components visually as well. With these mixed techniques and media, The Magic Tattoo will present and communicate the story of Sak Yant even more interesting, understandable, and attractive.

Branding

‘Sunny Side up’ is a visual identity design for a food outlet service specialising in blenderized diet for tube-fed people. The research question of this project was “To what extend can a visual identity help reconnect the lives of tube feeding individuals with their cultural identity and the people around them, living within the same society?”

The main objective of the project is to help promote alternative ways to support the tube-fed community choice for more natural, organic, and non-genetically modified products via blenderized tube feeding (BTF). Sought to support the belief that mankind should have quality food, nutritional variety as well as improve the aesthetic aspect of liquidised food in the existing market which is often associated with medical terms and colourless designs.

After reading various academic researches journals, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data. It was proven that commercial formulas on the market typically contain a lot of processed, sugary based ingredients, which are loaded with refined sugar like corn syrup and concentrated milk protein casenite. The key idea and underlying message behind this project is to provide tube-fed people a healthier alternative feeding tube formula free of chemicals and processed foods. Giving them the opportunity and right to take control of their bodies. Thus, creating an easy accessible platform including application design and incorporating an “interactive stationery design” as way for audience to engage with the brand physically and mentally.
