Week 15: Visit to Ngee Ann Poly's Open House 2014

Time for another field trip! This time, it is to Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Open House 2014! And boy, was it an eye-opener!

From the moment we entered the school premises, we were amazed by how spacious the compound looked. 

Coupled with bright and sunny weather, it truly was a sight to behold. As we walked further in, we caught our first glimpses of the colorful schemes of their Open House.

To add on to the feast for the eyes, there was also a DJ booth, where they played all sorts of hip music, and really got everybody's spirits up!

Another thing we noticed was the Poly's usage of big and bold headlines, along with the vivid colors in their posters. We felt that this was a smart technique used to attract the attention of visitors.

Their directional boards were also clear and concise, making it easy for visitors to find their destinations and not get lost in the vast compound.

Next up, we went around to look at the various courses on display. And there were that many of them! From Pets Care and Management to Biological sciences, it was all so very interesting, and different from what we usually see and do.

There were also CCA performances as well!

Another good concept we noticed was the easily accessible seats for resting. One is sure to get tired after traversing all around the school, and being able to find places to sit and take a rest is much needed and appreciated by visitors. Thumbs up to Ngee Ann for such a consideration!

We also noticed the interesting design concepts for some of their buildings and structures, such as this Radio Tower. Perhaps they are built this way to seem as similar to the real deal as possible, or to make things look more quirky and fun. Either way, it definitely piques visitors' interests, and garners their attention.

Last but not least, there was food! A great way to recharge our energy after all the walking. Besides, what other way to relax than simply sitting down and looking at all the colorful scenery?

In conclusion, the trip to Ngee Ann Poly was surely as interesting as it can be. We learnt many new things about visual communications and design concepts, and at the same time enjoyed ourselves thoroughly as well. And this is all made possible by our beloved lecturers who gave us this opportunity to come visit this fun event together as a group! Kudos to you lecturers!
