BKKDW2023 x CASETiFY - Siam Samyan Case

Many Thais look to Siam with fond memories, as the area in the centre of Bangkok serves as a hub for many. The centre is where creatives, office workers, foodies, and many others would convene, which is depicted by arranging all of the parts to spin around each other in the centre, signifying the gathering of diverse personalities and activities that have occurred within the district.

Dream Bangkok: Short Stories

Dream Bangkok: Short Stories is a collection of short stories set in Bangkok. Each narrative will chronicle a different character's life in the capital, as it is or as the author imagines it to be. The book will generate a discussion about how Bangkok is and how it may be better through the citizen's voice, with hopes and visions to offer.

The illustrations were inspired by regular motifs in Bangkok. The front cover integrated all of the sections into one huge composition, whilst the reverse cover arranged them to recap the book's short stories.

Playground of The Mind

Notebooks, sketchbooks, and simply scattering paper sheets provide enormous expanses for thoughts and ideas to run wild before being sorted out and developed (or not).

Therefore, this idea is reflected on the cover, depicting a mind's playground where vivid materials float chaotically across the spreads, similar to what will happen within this ana tomy notebook.

Illustrative collaboration as part of the ana tomy FNF (Friends and Family) Project.

Goodhood Vol.3 Poster

This poster was created for Goodhood, a Bangkok-based annual market event. The elements are drawn from the activities that will take place during the event. The design of the characters depicts the people who will congregate in the market. Red is utilised as the focal colour because it is Goodhood's identity, paired with a vivid palette to capture the community's vibrancy.
