A6 FAQ

Q/ Why is there 2 blank postcards in the starter kit?
Illustrators are required to work only on one of them, the other is a spare for you in case you made a mistake. You can also use it to try on your medium.

Q/ Do I need to explain my concept to my counterpart?
It's not a fixed requirement to do so. It's entirely up to  the illustrators whether or not they see the need to explain their concept or let their counterparts have their own take on it.

Q/ Can I do digital print out on a new piece of paper?
Even though we strongly encourage the illustrators to  manually create their artwork directly on the blank postcards we have provided, it's up to the illustrators if they decide to do the print on a fresh piece of material - the only obligation being it has to be in A6 size, and the back part has to be left blank for standard postcard template.

A6 kicks off

Creative [SIN]ergy presents A6 /future/ - a collaboration between 22 illustrators from both Singapore and the UK. Supported by the Singapore International Foundation, the event invites these artists to share their thoughts, hopes and dreams about their future through the use of A6 sized postcards. 

Each illustrator will be tasked to pose a question on what he/she feels about the future - express these thoughts through illustrations on half an A6 postcard, before posting them to another illustrator. He/she will then think of a possible answer to complete the template. There will be a mutual exchange of ideas between artists. They are also encouraged to be both imaginative and inspiring in this process.

The completed artworks will be showcased at a London venue during this year's London Design Festival. The 22 postcards will also be auctioned to raise funds for a charity.
