VISUAL PUBLICATION

Week 7

This week onwards, we were asked start our project 2 which is visual publication. In this project, we need to turn our previous project into an ebook. We will need to show the mood board for Visual Design in next week class. References of layout, typeface, and color theme should be included in the mood board.

Week 8

We were supposed to show our mood board this week but due to the mid-term holiday, there is no class this week. We are going to show our mood board next week. This week I try to get more references, then update my mood board. Below is my mood board:

Week 9

The lecturer went through our Visual Design Moodboard and gave us feedback one by one. For my mood board, Dr. Hayati says that it seems like I haven’t make a decision, and my references are too brief. I need to make the decision by today and show her before the class end. But due to some issues, I was absent after informing the lecturer. After settled down the issues, I updated my mood board according to Dr. Hayati's feedback. Below is my updated mood board:


Week 10

There is no class for this week, and I started my visual design in Adobe Indesign. The last time I use Indesign was almost 1 year ago. I was quite unfamiliar with it, so I took some time to remember how to use it. Other than the references I got for the mood board, I did observe seniors' work and get inspiration for the layout design. After complete the design, I upload the pdf version of my design on Fliphtml5, a website that allows us to make our own ebook. Below is my first version of visual publication design:


Week 11

The lecturer gave me some suggestions for my visual design. Some small detail of the cover was suggested to edit. For example, make a frame for the words “The Preliminary Findings On”. Then, for the content page design, the lecturer was helping me and giving me suggestions during the class. For the appendices, the lecturer actually suggested me to design the form by myself but not just screenshot the form from Google Form. Due to the heavy workload, I decided to just leave it first, if I’m able to finish all the final project on time then I will edit it. Below is my final version of Visual Publication Design:

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 ...
