Me too. I am a student doing Dip in Graphic & Multimedia Design. Jz studied for 1/2 a year
Knows: Photoshop, Freehand & a lil' Flash

Sometimes, when it comes to idea and concept, I am totally lost. All I hear from people is, "come out with your own style, read more, explore more and so on".
But what is more important? Own style, broad knowledge of style to cater the clients? Contemporary style? (like those paint splatter used so widely on anything)

software isnt a problem (as long as u understand the concept behind it eg. if u know photoshop, then corel draw shud be fine wif u too), no doubt it would help in ur resume for a job application.

Subjects Taken so far: Approximately what I've learned
2D n color study, Art (drawing), Mixed Media(painting mostly), Illustration Technique (marker), Corporate Identity, Visual Communication (advert stuff), and of coz Basic Computer (teaches software)

I m not quite sure what direction I am geared towards to quite confused, mostly catering to the "pau suah pau hai" design studios

Yup I see ur point here. Sometimes we put away our ideas and imagination. . .
I am learning alot now about self exploration, rather than copying other ppl's ideas.. With our own ideas and styles, the work produced will be more satisfactory (for me).



Hey I was a com science student also. But always wanted to study graphic design, so now i m doing it. I learn that Art is so much different from Com Sc and other studying subjects. Both are totally different, sometimes i think studying subjects is easier . But then I m enjoying what I m studying(learning) now..
