GC: Exercise #2 and #3

We started the class with submitting the first assignment, but the thing is I misunderstood the instructions on when to submit it as I thought it was to be submitted on next Tuesday's class. Anyway, in continuation to the first topic, we had another exercise on Lettering. This one is easy as all you need to do is just write alphabets. But the style of each alphabet should be the same i.e. same typeface. Exercise...

Before the class ended,...

Graphic Communication

I've been studying Science for the past 7 years of my life so this is my first Art class after that many years.... The class is basically focusing on drawing and I hope I can beat the subject and score... Trying to get the bigger view on how do we communicate through drawings. The lecturer asked us to produce 10 sketches per week in a bound sketchbook that is containing acid-free paper to preserve...

How are You Branding Yourself

It's nice to have heads up like this... **** As a young designer it's incredibly important to begin to establish some sort of identity. Why? Because when going after internships and entry-level jobs this identity is what will set you apart from the competition. When I was in college I remember at the end of a project during pin-ups I could always tell which project belonged to whom without even...

New Semester!

It's the start of the new academic year, the 2011/2012 session! Even though this campus is freaking huge, I still feel slightly overwhelmed with the students walking around the campus, plus the new students who came from CFSIIUM or direct intakes... ...Anyway, it's the first semester and for me it's going to be the final semester as the Bridging student and hopefully, when I'm done with this semester,...

Top 10 Design Supplies for School

But I tried to throw in some brand recommendations and tidbits to help even the veteran design student get ready for another challenging, but hopefully, rewarding and productive year. I would...
