Information about Singapore’s creative industries are, in general, not readily accessible. While it differs from industry to industry, most of the creative industries are not well-documented, researched or even publicised. This often leads to misconceptions about these industries and what a career in these fields entails. Thus, the idea behind ‘We, the Creatives of Singapore’ is to “demystify” the creative industries in Singapore and to allow the wider public to have a better understanding of a career in a creative industry.

Volume one of the series focuses on Singapore’s graphic design industry, taking note of the present state of the industry and serving as a reflection of how far the design scene, as well as how society’s perception of design has progressed over the decade.
