Welcome to the Brand New Year~
Every bi-monthly, The MVAC will be featuring artworks by young designers. This month of January we'll kickstart with a selection of visual designs by 19 year old Shahril 'Shane' Alfian a recent graduate from the Digital Media Design course at ITE College West, Ang Mo Kio.
Shahril or better known as Shane is a soft-spoken designer, currently awaiting admission to study Visual Communications and Motion Graphics at a local polytechnic. He was selected amongst his peers in his cohort to undergo a special study visit in 2008 at the renowned Lim Kok Wing University of Creative Technology, Malaysia where he attended a workshop on 3D Animation.
Shane has a strong Japanese neo-traditional influence. Neo means new, as traditional becoming new once again. In design, the neo-traditional genre fell out of favor from the 1940s through the 1970s and since then has been emerging in newly defined ways.
Not necessarily the lavishness of the 1980s, today's neo-traditional is elegant, refined, sophisticated, yet often subtle or understated - as depicted in several of Shane's visual works.
The long-accepted definition of traditional design has always been the formal styles from historic periods; specifically, Early and Late Georgian, Rococo and Baroque, Neoclassic/ Federal, Greek Revival/American Empire and Victorian. Neo-traditional design uses elements from these historic periods, but the interpretation is not historically accurate.

The MVAC wishes Shane the best in his future design endeavour~
We hope to see more from this talented chap.
