The Singapore-based studio behind new zine DEAR is up to something

Date
29 April 2015

DO NOT DESIGN is a Singapore-based creative consultancy whose portfolio directly undermines its name. Its work spans editorial design produced to accompany art, installation and performance works. What caught our eye though was DEAR, a new self-funded zine which aims to celebrate the unusual and the curious in a manner which reflects what the studio describes as “our salad-bowl of a nation, Singapore.” Including visual essays and contributions by a diverse range of artists, not to mention a sparse, pared-back layout bookended by the zine’s intriguing cut-out cover, DEAR looks set to mark the start of an eclectic, and hopefully enduring new chapter for zines created in Singapore.
