IMAGINATION and innovation were on show in abundance at the Swire School of Design Graduation Show 1993, held recently at the Hongkong Polytechnic.
The yearly event gives the public and prospective employers an opportunity to look at the work of graduating students of the design school. The school offers five full-time degree courses and five part-time evening Higher Certificate courses.
The arresting exhibits ranged over a wide spectrum in the design field, from fashion, industrial, graphic, interior, jewellery, two-and three-dimensional design to illustration and photography.
Fashion Design students focused largely on women's wear and woven fabrics. Their designs were seen in May this year at the well-received School's Graduation Fashion Show, held at the Grand Hyatt.
Photographic Design graduates showed a professional feel for their art, producing striking samples of documentary, promotional and fashion photography, as well computer-generated photography.
Industrial Design exhibits covered designs for children's play and exercise areas, medical equipment, learning aids for the disabled and fire services equipment.
Highly imaginative advertising, illustration and information graphics came from the Graphic Design graduates, who also showed a keen awareness of social issues.
