Saturday, March 26, 2011 / My Convocation
19th March 2011. It was everyone's big day- our degree convocation. It is my second convocation, the first one was during diploma. When else can you wear gown, hood and mortal board and looking like you're a student in Hogwarts without the wand? But seriously, it is so uncomfortable and hot wearing the convo attire with layers of clothes underneath. Apparently I'm the second in the family to wear this square academic cap. Hope everyone is proud of me =)
It was held in Wisma MCA, Ampang and I was in session two which started at 1.30pm. The ceremony ended around 4.30pm something and when everyone is leaving the hall, it was so packed! I also don't know where should I stand or wait. Plus, it was raining outside, so the corridor outside was jampacked.
Anyway, it feels great to meet up with my classmates and course mates. Below are all those pictures I have taken that day.

Monday, March 7, 2011 / Graphic Design & Multimedia in UTAR
Just the other day, a girl who just completed her STPM added me on Facebook because she wants to know more about graphic design in UTAR. Apparently she found me through my blog. It kind of inspire me to do this post. What do you expect from taking degree in Graphic Design and Multimedia in UTAR? True story from an honest person, ehem, me.
When you decided to enroll in graphic design after completed your SPM or STPM, don’t worry if you are from science stream. It doesn’t really matter anyway. What is important is how passion you are and where you interest lies. If you love to draw, if you like art, if you like graphic, why not graphic design? If you think you don’t know how to draw, no worries, you will basically start everything from the sketch.
It seems cool to be double major right? Graphic Design and Multimedia. Where else can you take double major with such an affordable price? It will be around RM30,000 or less than that (not including printing artwork yourself which could be really expensive). But honestly, you will major more in graphic design than multimedia. During my 3 years in UTAR, I don’t think I really learn multimedia because until now, I am still not proficient and can say I will only be a beginner in multimedia software such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe After Effects, 3DMax and Final Cut Pro. The software that I am most familiar with is Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.
Okay, enough about that. Let’s move on to what you expect to learn in this 3 years period based on my experience. Actually, more to what I have learnt and what I have done in this 3 years. I know they have change and added new subjects now for this course. So it will probably different from what I said here.
Year 1
During this period, there will be more drawing than computer art. Such as drawing manually with your hand in Visual Communication(water colour, etc) and using Adobe software(Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign) in
Desktop Publishing I to create flyer, brochure and newsletter.
Year 2
There will be more individual assignment this year. There will also be exposure of new software to learn such as Adobe Flash, 3DMax and Final Cut Pro but mostly they will only teach you the basic. Because most of this new software is for group assignment, I didn't really learn much. Anyhow, will be using a lot of Illustrator, Photoshop and also Adobe Flash for individual assignment for Packaging Design, Desktop Publishing II, Digital Imaging and Animation.
Year 3
Well, of course Final Year Project will preoccupied most of your time. When you eat, you think of FYP, when you sleep, you dream of FYP. That's how bad it is. One of the group assignments are Interactive Multimedia II where me and my group members designed an interactive kiosk using Illustrator and Flash.
The long semester consists of 14 weeks while short semester consists of 7 weeks. Therefore, there is insufficient time for learning and completing assignment. That is why we are always being labeled as doing work at the last minute. It is sort of a trend, i guess. So, that's all for this super long post. Hope it helps to those who wonder :)
