Well I'm in a design field as well, but sometimes I am require to do some Graphic (I have some basic skill) design on work basis.

Yes a lot of people don't really appreciate designs nowadays they mostly want it their way or more 'acceptable' to the market trend here.

Most Malaysian are not strongly educated in arts, especially histories and all the other design culture.

I was lucky that my lecturer was a great designer from the US which I love how much exposure she is letting us have and freedom to design.

But after I graduate I can't apply any of it here at all, that is very sad to me.

Well even my parents don't really understands the deign method and mind set I have too.

I was in Raffles college institute, my Lecturer went back to the States already.
But miss her really much.
Is that bad, and I'm no longer in the field I love anymore.
But I believe 1 day if I still have the passion I will definitely go back to it. ( When I earn enough money to start something of course)

I'm in marketing now.

Once in a while still go back doing what I love, but is still very rare nowadays.

Well I do some Graphic as well for simple banners.

Lol wow u r a mind reader
Yeap that's my position now.
