you don't really need a degree here, a good portfolio is most of the company is looking for,
unless its a big company with some rules to follow la, but for me i won't want to work at places like this with lots of rules and restriction.

maybe TOA does not have a campus like any other colleges but that doesn't matter as it could provide better education compare to any other colleges.
just you won't have so much free time to enjoy life liao

actually...nowadays company won't looks @ ur cert 4 designer job...they more concern of ur portfolio...ur experience...

last time i did plan 4 study degree...cos i wanted 2 be a lecturer...

*once again...design firm...portfolio n experience is much more important than da famous uni cert...

frm my fren who is studying DG... most of them quit or change course cuz they nid to spend a lot of time to work on their projects...
personally i think DG most kesian cuz everytime me and my frens go mamak minum teh... onli i see some DG ppl just going home... its like already 12am...
you need to be lke extreme hardworking and 'ngai-dak' to be in dg...

hrmm... now TOA also gt degree course .... like me...and shadoe... we r in the course... 1 year foundation + 3 years =degree cert from UH...hertfordshire..UK... but onli for 2 courses.... GDI*(graphic design & illus) & MULTIMEDIA... but i think kbu will be more in budget... am i rite???

study DG @ TOA...u nit 2 sacrifice ur yumcha time...ur shopping time...ur sleeping time...dun think is like going 2 hell...if u really like it...u'll enjoy it...

Then have any oversea college or university can intro ? for CG and Gprahic design

Times have change, the most stress I'll say is during 3rd year first term in DG, alot of subs clash, and all damn important, after that it's quite chilling I can say. I just finished 3rd year 2nd term, going into my final term this Jan.

The same can be said for foundation students in TOA now, instead of drawing 8 portraits for figure studies, now only need 2 or 1, or 1 and a half, I also not sure.

From what I see and hear from my seniors, the final grad term seems to be quite chilling, will have some time to yourself, depending on how you and your team members manage their time.

When seniors tell you they no sleep, don't believe them la, I can still get 3~5 hours of sleep if really hectic, but normally I can prolly get 6~8 hours of sleep. xD + Still get to play games on the weekends and sometimes on weekdays. xD

TOA really lowering the quantity of workload, I think it's because they want quality now. And also for DG students, my batch is the final batch who will be going through group project for their final short animation film, after that its all individual liao. =/

if u guys r talkin abt time n all...actuali it depends on ourselves..c how we manage our time...i got to know some people who always say stress cuz not enuf time to do assignments but whn i c dem is always on facebook and all..
so by the end of the day, time management is DA key

Thanks you make me more taste in digital animation design & without anymore.

Haha, correct la. If procrastinate then when 1 more day left they work 24 hours no sleep to hand up on deadline. xD

After that they tell ppl no time la, no sleep la. Lol.

good luck in ur final sem~

for me... worst still can get like 5 hours sleeping time...~ haha~ i have a classmate... reli dont sleep for assignments... dunno y... maybe to hardworking~ LOL


lolz! haha! even final project next day still can facebook...

lolz! its me... muahaha! atleast we still get sleep~


DON'T EVER PROCRASTINATE IN TOA... U WILL END UP IN THE DARK SIDE......MUAHAHA!

can i know which batch are you in? cause i heard andrew said that this is still under discussion? DGmon from TOA here too

DGmon?

I'm in dg75 batch.
Right, I think I stated wrongly adi. xD My friend in dg78 said they are forming groups now. Haha.

Too many rumours flyin around. xD

You are in batch what? Andrew is your tutor issit? o.o

ya kind... dont know what he doing in class actually.. haha.. u same class with randy? and marianne?

I still wonder why I took up IT course in MMU when I clearly loved webdesign more, I guess its the fact that what obe said on the first page that most of digital/multimedia designing thing are self pick up or self learn and most of the time, the sylabus is outdated for that current 'designing trend year' sometimes too.

Lol, yeah I am.

hi guys wassup !
i went for the open day on 23rd
listened to multimedia and digital animation
first i wanted to do multimedia but then im not really interested in web design n stuff so i decided to go for digital animation instead !
i guess ill b rollin into TOA for April intake ~

so as an advance id like to say
NICE TO MEET U PEEPS !
must gimme advice n stuff horr = 3

Erm advice ka? Erm... If you want to be excellent, you have to learn outside the syllabus. But you'll understand how that's impossible in TOA if you are greedy, so don't be too greedy, scoring all As won't get you a job, you need to offer what the company or studio need. I don't think they need all As.

Of course most parent will look at your result, but if you think what you are doing is right, just bear with it.
