Life has been quite interesting ever since I joined this course. I can still remember how I struggled to get along with the class and also in my work during year 1, life was hard during that time.
However, after 1 year of understanding the class and also getting used to the working style of being "still going to be a professional designer", I am actually liking the lifestyle now.
Course people
I remembered that I cannot get used to the people in my class because everyone has different personalities (during my sec sch life, everyone is about the same) and having a hard to make friends with the people in my class. However, after knowing them further, I learned how to deal with different people (a good experience for me =p ). So, I am very grateful to know them. Besides, I also learn a lot of good points from them. I LOVE MY CLASSMATES!!!
Like (they are my motivation):
Ashlyn - Daring, Perseverance, Confidence, Always experimenting on different style and always share with me all the latest design hit
Cerlyn - Hardworking, Constant work
Melt - Always have great ideas because she actually think all the possibilities before deciding on the idea, however, her execution was not that good.
Charmaine - Good public speaking skills, Confident
Ariel - Hard core
Makiyo - Good photography skills
Kamelia - Interesting style that she has
Suzanna - Consistent work and always finish the assignment 1 week before submission
Evelyn - Her consistent and professional work
Ben, Gareth, Wingtong - Very designer style they have
I was able to learn a lot of things from them and one thing I have to work on is to BE MORE CONFIDENT!!! Because Confidence is one part that lead to success!!!
My design
Okay, I am still improving myself by going out more often and taking notes of all the design that I encountered (ad, print, packaging design etc). The only thing that I need to do now is to build up my portfolio and present myself in a confident way during my internship interview for next year.
Besides, I have to take some time to experiment new style. I have always wanted to tried watercolor illustration and paper cutting but due to money constrain, I never have the chance to work on it. Maybe I should think of solution to solve it.
Student Agency
Have been joining the agency for more than 4 months, I guess. But, I have the thought of quitting agency because of some particular reasons. I just get a hard time getting along with the seniors but I guess I just needed more time for me to understand them and vice versa.
I bet that when I go out to work, I will surely meet people like my senior and so I might as well learn it now in Agency right? I just want to be myself when hanging out with them, and not be a hypocrite and suck up to them. This will not be considered making friends with them, just focing yourself to be part of them. This should not be the way, in my opinion.
Still thinking whether should I quit agency because I really want to learn things from agency. Okay, shall give a serious thought about it.
Friends
I am really very happy that I finally can make some friends from the senior. I get to know Yunwei, Jiahui, Ken and Wilson from my korea trip and they are really very nice people and easy to get along with.
I thought that I will not make any friends from the senior side after I graduate, but luckily, I met them...so happy!!!
Really very happy to be in this course and get to mix around with different people and also to learn a lot designs techniques from lecturers and peers. =)
