2021
We were commissioned to design the +65 publication, an annual journal published by the Founders’ Memorial, National Heritage Board. This journal looks at Singapore’s post-independence history and society, how this history is interpreted, represented and remembered, and the ethos of modern Singapore as shaped by its founding history. It also explores the relationship between national policy and lived experiences through visual culture, artefacts from the National Collection and personal stories. Through these discoveries and reflections, the journal hopes to present a cross-generational perspective and draw connections between post-independence history and its present-day impact and relevance.
The topics covered an extensive range from multiple angles, and our design utilised a vibrant illustration palette coupled with archival images, to create a lively and engaging framework for telling the stories across the various sections. The charming juxtapositions and warm colour palette set the visual theme for this inaugural issue.
