Design Concept & Layout Approach

The website for Lim Tze Peng, Singapore’s celebrated centennial artist, is designed to embody elegance, simplicity, and timelessness, reflecting the legacy and stature of the artist himself. David Ong Design Studio carefully curated a minimalist, gallery-style layout to allow the artworks to take center stage, much like how pieces are displayed in a physical art exhibition.

The layout is clean and structured, using ample white space to create a serene and uncluttered browsing experience. This draws attention directly to the artworks and content, guiding the visitor’s eyes intuitively from one section to the next. The website includes clear sections such as:

About Page – A well-written biography that introduces the artist’s journey and achievements.
Artworks Page – A virtual gallery featuring selected masterpieces, categorized for easy navigation.
Milestone Page – Chronicles Lim Tze Peng’s key artistic milestones and public recognitions.
Media and Video Sections – Integrated to provide deeper context and engagement through visual storytelling.

Color Scheme

The color palette is subtle and sophisticated, primarily comprising:

Warm neutrals (light beige, soft greys) to create a harmonious backdrop,
Black and dark charcoal for typography to ensure readability and contrast,
Occasional hints of red or brown reminiscent of traditional Chinese ink and seal colors – paying tribute to the artist’s cultural roots.

This muted color scheme ensures that the artworks—especially those with bold ink strokes and intricate brushwork—stand out vividly against the interface.

Typography & Aesthetics

David Ong Design Studio opted for clean serif and sans-serif fonts to maintain both modern readability and a traditional feel, balancing heritage and contemporary design. Font sizes are carefully calibrated for both desktop and mobile users, ensuring accessibility and visual balance across devices.

Responsive & Evolving Design

The website is mobile-responsive and designed for progressive fine-tuning. Since launch, it has undergone subtle enhancements based on user feedback and is scheduled for a major redesign in June 2025, showing the studio’s commitment to keeping clients’ websites fresh and relevant.

Conclusion

The design of www.tzepeng.com exemplifies David Ong Design Studio’s client-centric philosophy — balancing aesthetics, function, and storytelling. It not only showcases the legacy of Lim Tze Peng but also demonstrates the studio’s capability in designing websites that honor the identity of the artist while engaging modern audiences.
