~ Works of Pure Geniuses ~

After weeks and weeks, wait.. MONTHS and months; this is my second post. 

Anyhoo, Time flew prettttty fast and our first semester is ending.

Met loads and loads of interesting people and I am beyond thrilled to meet them. :)

( I am 100% serious) &&&&&& don't forget the lecturers ;)

I was thinking.. Why did I  join this course, to be REALLY honest it wasn't my first choice; but again I checked and surveyed a few other courses but my eye and heart wanted this course so badly. I was quite stubborn actually. The reason wasn't because I liked doodling 'stuff' (especially during school hours in class) or cool 'fancy schmancy' art work from other designers or trying to look cool  ; Okaay.. back to the point, Mainly because I was ACTUALLY interested on learning

the pre-production / post-production of the designs in those advertisements / covers or the inspiration that 'inspired' those designers especially those that are successful and I was sort of moved? by that. I am just a curious person wanting to find something new. I am not pulling your leg. This is the truth.

At first, I was SURE that I couldn't do it , pessimistic right? Anyway, Doing those assignments gave me a BIG HUGE slap on the face. I was shocked, REALLY shocked that I wasss capable of doing it. However! It was a challenge for me and I learned that in this business, you have to work HARD and smart to accomplish something great and even though I do most of my work at the last minute; you can't really afford doing that especially when you start working. It's not like (in malay terms) " boleh goyang kaki" Well I guess in english it's easy breezy?

But I accept that and I don't mind cause I feel motivated especially if someone compliments your work.

I feel like all the paper cuts, panda eyes, feeling fatigue, redo work, rejected work PAID OFF.

I even learned that, life is never a straight road with nothing on the way, there are always obstacles and you are FORCED to face it. I realized in this life I am in right now doing design made that statement quite apparent for ME.

I am thankful that we have really good lecturers. Mr Charles obviously stated that design isn't JUST interesting and made me think way waaaay deeper and Mr Ernesto REALLY REALLY REALLY helped me on my drawing. Seriously, I can't draw that well, that's why I said doodle. and I know that I 'think' creatively with mind maps and colours and hats cause of Ms chee. ahah Anyways, I can actually see the difference from the 'old' liyana to the 'NEW' and improved liyana :D

Let's say... Our "sifu's " taught us well. FYI, I'm not trying to bodek you guys. ;p

KUDOS to EVERYONE in class! For their effort and hard work. :)

This is a bloooody long post ahhaha

I guess I shall stop here.

Signing off. 

Toodles :)
