vintage singapore

From Tropical Splendor to Tropical Excellence

I saw the following vintage poster (probably from the 1930s?) hanging on a wall in the National Library. Equipped with an extremely low quality image and some Photoshop magic, I tried recreating it. But what would the poster look like if it was created today? I decided to have some fun. : )

Something old, something new.


Singapore: Crossroads of the east

Came across an old footage showcasing Singapore as a thriving British colony in 1938. Even though the city has come a long way in the past four decades, it is interesting to note that its cosmopolitan nature and its role as a significant entrepĂ´t port has remained intact through the ages. Here’s another footage from the 1950s.

  1. Its interesting to see how you have changed from writing more and posting sketches to writing less and having more posters/video/graphics.
