I'm lucky to have a few people that I know in my new class! At least theres someone to talk to.
Well, it's been hard this week. Everyone isn't talking to each other except Yuen and friends and a few of us.
I sure hope that 2F would really open up to one another. Or maybe, it's just that everyone is waiting for someone to do it? Is everyone really that shy?
Anyway, the modules offered in year 2 are really tough. I'm not being negative or whatnot but it's really challenging.
IT'S NOTHING LIKE YEAR ONE AT ALL.
Creative Imaging.
We have to come up with a advertising poster to advertise anything. A product, a campaign, a tv show and whatnot to create a photography based print Ad.
It's really challenging because it's not just about thinking of what product to shoot but you have to include many other factors such as taglines, copywriting, props, lighting, color combinations, photoshop skills, photography skills.
Digital Graphic Images.
Oh snap. This is a pure Adobe Illustrator class!
We have to create vector graphics and as well as knowing the insights of it. We have to do research on what are vector graphics and raster graphics.
But this is a class that I'm looking forward to. I can't wait to improve my Illustrator knowledge.
Typography - Type Hierarchy.
YES! Typography class! Teaching type hierarchy!!!
I was so happy when I first saw the word Typography in my time table.
I can't wait to learn more about typography I tell you!
In the first lesson, we were asked to hand-design/draw a poster using pen, pencil, marker.
We were given a paragraph of words that must be included in the poster. Given 1 hour to complete was a real challenge because we can't use the computer at all!
After the hour, we were asked to go around to vote 3 design that you like by putting a star at the back of the paper. When we got back to our seats, our lecturer asked who has 5 stars.
Turning my paper around, I was awestruck. I saw many many stars!
My lecturer was like, "WHA?! How many do you have?!".
I had total of 13 stars and mine was one of the 3 best designs in the class :D
Side note: The whole class was told to get a laptop for the class and I don't have one!
Currently, I'm using my Dad's laptop. Hopefully it can support Adobe programs though.
And of course, best of all I hope for a MacBook(pro) from my Dad, considering there is a student offer and a singnet offer.
But of course I would need to chip in all my leftover assets. >_>
Digital Design & Layout.
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
I really dislike this class. This is a pure InDesign class! InDesign is something that everyone from my batch dislike. But o well, it is something important that we need to learn and it is very useful in our work in the future.
Good thing is that the lecturer is pretty good.
Yep, thats all for now. It's snow-balling slowly. I mean workload..
