INTRO | My name is Yan Zhi Xuan, and I’m 19 this year. I come from Sungai Besar, the principal town of Sabak Bernam District, Selangor, Malaysia. I'm interested in design creation so I chose my degree programme as Bachelor of Design (Honours) In Creative Media. |
PARAGRAPH 1 | I started dancing when I was 5. I like dancing. Although I am of Malaysian nationality, I have the opportunity to be exposed to K-pop culture. Besides that, I have been to dance competitions and won prizes. I still teach myself to dance. I really enjoy dancing every single day. |
PARAGRAPH 2 | I love Y2K fashion and Japanese culture. this year, I was also honoured to have the opportunity to get into this part of the modelling field. I've become more interested in Y2K fashion and have started to experiment more with the style. It's a good match for my cheerful personality, love of dancing and singing, and love of anime. |
SUMMARY | I hope I can continue to shine in the realm of dance and fashion. In the future, I will make more efforts to reach out to related activities and get more meaningful gains for me. |

PARAGRAPH 2 | Besides that, I consider incorporating fashion elements into the overall design, like clothing patterns or accessories. For typography, I will use my own font for my quote. I will consider adding small icons or symbols that represent my dance interests or any other Y2K elements that reflect my interests. |
SUMMARY | I want to make it uniquely mine, reflecting my personality and the things that bring me joy. I will experiment with different design elements until I create a poster that resonates with me. |

TITLE: A Kpop Dancer in Y2K Fashion
ARTIST STATEMENT: I wanted to envision a "shine in the good nights" poster featuring Y2K fashion outfits and K-pop. I aimed to create a visually appealing design incorporating K-pop and Y2K elements, using vibrant colours and dynamic patterns. My poster also incorporated clothing patterns and accessories, using my own font for the quote. The poster is unique and reflects their personality and joy. My chosen quote, "shine in the good nights" is a beautiful phrase that suggests radiance and positivity even during the nighttime. The poster uses a bright colour palette with blues, purples, pink, and green, or pastel colours for a Y2K touch. The stars symbolise the nighttime atmosphere, while light sources and typography convey the idea of shining in the darkness. Dance poses reflect movement and energy, and Y2K fashion elements are integrated with a nighttime twist.
