... coincidence?

So, that is it, the end of semester 1. I am glad I made it. It is easier to say something like that when things are all settled down. But I still remember how many sleepless night l have been through and how much coffee I drank to stay sober. I have to admit that studying aboard is not as easy as I thought before. For most of the time, I was like completely have no idea of everything going around me. I could not understand the professor’s joke. When whole class laughed, I was just sitting there like a robot—no human reactions and emotions but with only endless awkwardness left. It is true that my English is terribly bad and l have to keep pushing myself practicing it. But I really think I made some progress through day-to-day practice. I do enjoy working with our extremely talented classmates and I learned a lot from them. They are so full of ideas and, in the meantime, they are willing to share their brilliant ideas. I am so lucky to have the chance to work with them, absorbing every single ideal that could be helpful for my future study. From them, I not only learned about skills or knowledge but also their ways of creating things and how they communicate their ideas in different ways. The most important thing, I think, for this course is not about leaning the Photoshop or InDesign skills, it is more about communicate with peers through collaborate. In nowadays, with demands rising for people who good at communication, those kinds of activities are exactly needed especially for international students. In addition to that, I can say I went from a noob who completely know nothing about Illustrator to those kinds of guy who use at least 5 Adobe software almost every day. I know it is not easy to get by the first semester, but, look, we did make some difference, right?

Sticker production line! I currently have the cutting cramps from manually cutting and trimming these god damn stickers. Just think about how good it’s going to look at the end, it’ll be all worth it! It’s difficult to present your creatives work in such a way that you don’t interfere when trying to present it. The idea behind “my” stickers is it’s generally something I love collecting and or creating. I feel it’s important to present my creatives work while also maintaining my own ideas and style. A lot of his work felt sticker worthy, and it was an interesting way to present it through a medium I love! It may be his design, but I was tasked to design a design artefact to showcase his designs. I more see it as paying homage or respects to him, giving him the exposure he deserves. If he were to ever make stickers out of his work (he should), I’d totally buy the hell out of them.

Omg can I just say when seeing everyone’s apps yesterday, I was blown away! Everyone has seriously done a really great job (applause for all you lads). I’ll admit, my self esteem was lowering each time I saw everyone’s apps haha. I wanted to give a little look/read of my brief for everyone. I didn’t include the rationale because it’s probably boring to read. I only just finished the brief 30 minutes ago so apologies for anyone yesterday who wanted to read my brief that wasn’t even done lol. My apps are definitely not like everyone else’s in terms of being traditional and looking all technology-ish (that even a word? oh well). I wanted to do something different and original, but I’m pretty happy with these!
