hai hai
last week i go to an education fair to do some research on graphic design and there got a PJCAD ppl told me like this :" if u can't draw u can use computer to draw".
as i know the GD course in the 1st year is training ppl how to draw, matching colour, using computer to draw...... some basic things like that loh happy.gif
so i think if u got the heart to study GD u can improve ur drawing skill in the 1st year
may be u are good in using computer to draw leh:lol:

That why i think here is, since i canot enough qualified to take Multimedia Design, So i take Graphic design. I have told by a person in Tarc college today that study graphic design can use computer to draw. can use computer to design. But after i see the student art works at tarc college, i feel my art really can't fight with them. My handword drawing not really very good.

So Since my art drawing is not good so izit i should take other course? Any have any course that using computer like Multimedia design? I only get 4 credits for my spm.

That why i not very sure which 1 wan. I going to submit form which it deadline on thursday. I wan study multimedia design but not enough qualification. Then i ask for mass com for graphic designer then the lecturer i guess told me that 2 course is same. Only GD more on handwork and MD more to computer. But now is i wan to confirm that izit GD can use computer to draw? I scare when study and doing assignment use hand work to draw then sure i fail it.

drawing no good = waste time for Illustrator, visualizer or fashion desginer, NOT graphic designer. GD nowadays mostly and highly dependable on computers. What GD need is skill and creativity in bringing out ideas and concepts.
Skills and talent could be polished from time to time and if you have deep interest in what you're aiming at, the passion will never burn out
Correct

Second that. Why would u be afraid if you're lack in drawing skills? As someone else said, practise makes perfect smile.gif Unless if you're doing character designs..then maybe it'd be a problem. But as always, there's storyboard artist/visualizer artists.If you think you're creative and willing to learn, why not ?

(a lil drawing skill is needed, I meant not just stick man figures la tongue.gif.You'll have to sketch tho for your concept/ideas)..hope you'll understand what I meant. good luck =)

I understandd it. Thank you.

Maybe you can give us reasons why you like mass com and Graphic Design other than that you have a mere interest in it.

Mass com advertising is inclusive of alot of writing on copywriting, etc .. do you really have an interest in this?

Drawing skill is a big plus for graphic design and I would strongly recommend you learn some drawing skills. I've have friends who had no drawing skills or few drawing skills who suffer when working because they are unable to draw sketches well and in any agency you always start with pen on paper then on screen.

Why are you so scared of drawing? We arent all talented illustrators but at least can illustrate and draw out our ideas which is why you need it. Somore nowadays graphic designers dont just do prints, we are able to multi-task.

You might have intelligent conceptual work but who can see how you visualise it if you cannot even draw it roughly on a paper?

I hoose for Mass Com cause the skop for finding job is more bigger nowday. Beside Mass com, i interested on multimedia design, business and marketing. BUt i not qualfied on it and it has no foundation for that course. So no choice for me and choose for mass com. And now after i listen all of it, I guess i choose Mass Com for broadcast communication. Choosing Broadcast communication izit good?
