| Summary: | D(RAFT): Navigating between Passion and Practicality is a final year project that seeks to understand the mindsets of individuals who pursue a career in the fields of Graphic Design, Animation, Illustration, Film and other artistic fields (hereafter defined as ‘creatives’ for the purposes of this project). More specifically, the study aims to examine how creatives in Singapore, negotiate between passion and practicality as reasons to stay in an unpredictable but artistically fulfilling role or leave their current fields for other types of work that might provide better stability. This creative publication is presented in the form of a collection of interviews — with creatives currently working in the creative industry and those that have left to explore other industries — as well as a short story about my own personal journey with balancing my creative passions and being practical in my career choices. |
