PROJECT 1A : MY LINK (LINE AND SHAPE)


The first idea that appeared in my mind when I was given the task to design a personal logo was TIME.Upon entering USM, in the depth of heart, I have a strong feeling that time really passes like river that is flowing without me realizing its pace.How strange that all these nostalgia ran wild in my head.

I remembered countless night and day spent on studies.

I remembered the fleeting opportunities that I failed to grab.

That's why I learnt to love and forgive, for the greatest punishment in life is to regret.It requires a pure heart and a peaceful state of mind to seize the moment ,and to express this in the logo, I thought of lotus.

In  Chinese proverb, it says ''Lotus grows in muddy land but remains stainless''.The design of 7 petals of lotus symbolize the 7 principal element of APEX which I saw on a signboard while waiting for bus near the Sg.Dua entrance,namely The Future, Uniqueness, Sustainability, Humanity, Universality, Change and Sacrifice.These 7 identities remind me to have the insight as an APEX student in order to excel in my future life.

In overall,I wish to express the PAST(falling leaves from an old tree), PRESENT(Sun that always rise),and FUTURE(lotus carried away by river to the unknown future) of my life journey through this personal logo.

The ultimate message I wish to express is that time and tide wait for no men, seize every moment to do your best  so that you will lead a life with no regret.
