Instructions


Week 1 (7/1/2020) & (8/1/2020)

The lecturer started the class by giving us a brief about this module. We were also asked to form a group in 4 for flip topic presentation and also our group project. Then, we were given the first exercise which called as quantify data and visualize data. The lecturers gave us buttons or lego, and we need to quantify them and make an infographic about it on an A4 paper.

Fg.1.0 Data Quantifying 
Fg.1.0 shows that I arranged the buttons according to their designs (size, pattern, number of holes, colour). After that, I count the number of buttons for each category and wrote in my notebook. Hence, I arranged them on an A4 paper as how I arranged them in Fg.1.0 and draw the graph.

Fg.1.1 Infographic of Buttons

Week 2 (8/1/2020) & (14/1/2020)

For our second exercise, we need to create an infographic about Pokemon. There is a lot of generation of Pokemon. First of all, we need to choose which generation we want to do for this exercise because different generation has different types of Pokemon. After we chose the generation, we will need to choose at least 3 types of Pokemon by knowing their elements. Also, we will need to know where is their habitat.

I chose the second generation which located in the Sinnoh region. Also, I choose the three most significant Pokemon with different elements (fire, water, plant) during that generation. After I finished the poster, I feel like the map is too empty so I add on one more type of Pokemon with ice element.

Fg.1.2 Pokemon Infographics Poster

As you can see from Fg.1.2, I start the poster with the title "Pokemon" and a short description at the left corner. The reason that I placed them there because people usually ready from left to right. I arranged the Pokemon according to their elements and also their evolution progress. I also located them at the place that easier to see them which is their main habitat.

Major Project

  Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Major Project INSTRUCTION Week 1 For the first class of Major Project, we were given a short brief by Mr. Asrizal in the class. It was the first time we can all sit in class together after so long since the pandemic. We went through the MIB and we were told that we can conduct the project in 3 ways. The first is to continue with our dissertation topic, the second is to get a client and the last is to make something with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.  After the instruction, Mr.Asrizal showed us some seniors' work to give us some ideas. Someone designed a font for Pasar Raya, someone illustrated her own Tarot card, and someone designed a series of collateral. We will need to propose our ideas to Mr. Asrizal in the next class and we started to brainstorm our idea until the class ended. Week 2 This week, the class was separated according to the 4 specializations. The animation group started for the first and we propose our ideas to Mr. A...

Sonic Design Final Project

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Sonic Design Final Project  INSTRUCTION Week 12 In the final project, it is different from what we did before. Before this, we normally use the free stocks sound effect to conduct our exercises. But this time we will need to record our own sound effects. We were given a variety of videos to choose from. Also, an audio storyboard was prepared by Mr.Razif. The reason to have an audio storyboard is that if we are going to record sound in a studio, we need to save time as it is not cheap. We need to get ready for all the materials and know what sound we need to create. Audio storyboard and video provided by Mr. Razif: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qFCRRLg21uaVVfNTFsMGsyMU0?resourcekey=0-aaijjah6ADp53WbCOfaCsg&usp=sharing Other than sound effects, we were required to create simple background music and some narration if needed. In this case, our classmate Avery Ong was invited to give us a talk about piano.    The tone for different...

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Professional Development Week Introduction As this is our final semester and we will be graduating very soon, we were asked to learn different knowledge from the people working in the industry and make a report. Hence, we were assigned to take part in the Professional Development Week. Professional Development Week is on week 8 of this semester, and there are many types of workshops provided. In this case, we will need to attend at least 6 workshops which is a total of 6 learning hours. Some workshops were compulsory as it was selected by our Program Director but for the rest, we can choose for ourselves. Below are the workshops that I took part in: Tuesday, May 17 For me personally, I enjoyed the “Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduates" workshop by Mr. Fairuz Izman from MAYBANK the most. The way he presented was really interesting and made me feel like I want to listen more from him as he was sharing his own story as an example. From this workshop, I ...
