if u want cheaper, why dont u try go Dasein and query... its located at setapak.
i heard from my friends who r studying there say that quite a number of one academy students who cant tahan the rising fees come over to dasein to study (can any one akademi students confirm this?), but my friends artworks are quite impressing too.
but if im not mistaken they seperate multimedia and graphic design course.

i also have another friend studying multimedia design in one academy and his artworks is most impressing

cheapest place u can study design in tarc....but dun ever go or else u'll regret...

Dasein is quite good in quality as far as what i have heard from my friends.

There is no such thing as more chance to get a job nowadays....when u graduate from any course also you'll be getting a hard time finding a job....unless you're extra good in what u do...

If youre really into graphic i suggest u venture into multimedia design which you will learn 3d, motion graphics and web design...Playing with softwares such as Adobe flash, adobe after effects, 3ds max is kinda fun when u finish ur artwork but during the process you'll get a big headache....

Join more competitions to gain experience while ur still studying...and if u won some medals in these competitions, it would be an added advantage to get you hired for a job

i dont plan to do advertising after i graduate too...to be honest i kinda regret to not further my studies in the multimedia design field...


lulz kinda stands for fun...

but i heard dasein has not multimedia courses..

i wan to study graphic design basically is bcos i couldnt think of anything else that interest me.. and i like to draw with pen or pencil .. even when i study resulting the not so remarkable results ..lol
but not so sure about handling softwares or computer 3D stuff.. but i know 3D or multimedia this are very useful and its important so i better study abit abt it also la.. haha

do u mind telling me wat course are u taking now?
what job or field would u like to venture into after u graduate?

*
even for graphic design...its about handling softwares such and adobe photoshop and illustrator and good imagination nod.gif (good drawing skills comes in handy when u want to present your idea to ur clients on the spot)....well, theres always digital drawing using
"vacom" (duno how to spell it) for sketching. even for 3d animation, you'll need to do some sketching before u start modeling it.

and as i had posted in earlier posts, i had a diploma in multimedia design and now currently pursuing degree in advertising rolleyes.gif
after i graduate...i dont intend to do advertising (juz like ur sis fren) nor multimedia design. hav to take care of family business which has nothing to do with what i had studied before...lolz doh.gif

yeap.. i think if im taking design course graphic design is wat im gonna go for ..

oh i see.. well atleast u have a family busines to take care of..

im actually kinda freaked out that ppl keep telling me that the salary is pretty low for a graphic designer.. u see.. the thing is im not just making money for myself.. i think i need to provide for my family too ..after all my parents cant work forever right?
so if its really true that the salary does not look good im afraid that i have to opt for another course to study like accountancy or business or watever..
cos im scared that my parents pay the high course fees for me to study design courses and at the end i get very low pay job which is not something that anyone would like isnt it?

cos thats wat almost everybody go for and  they always tell me that all companies need ppl to count money they want many accountants or something like that .. so atleast u hav a safer job n theres always room for accountants. .
(something that is not so risky i guess thats the way to put it,or something that will make money or more profitable such as busniess studies,oil n gas engineers or other engineer or pilot n aviation they make money lol)

but the problem is i dunoe i can tahan looking at numbers or not cos i suck at maths n add maths

im sorry this is so long winded.. im just a lost kid trying to find the right way out.. very confused..

or have anyone heard anything about design or art management course, its more like a management program..
i heard of it for the first time today ..pjcad is offering the course..

anyone heard of Alfa art college?

the lecturer told me Dasein is more popular among chinese so it might not be so er.. international?
compared to other college which hav both chinese and foreign cultures .. which is mixed la..
i dunoe if its important or not .. but i think i would like to sharpen my english speaking skill as u can read that im not that fluent in english , written maybe but speaken  i tend to stutter abit n the words i needs dont usually come up when i need them.. lol

and also anyone know anything about pjcad's graphic design course?

i think ive listed down to dasein, alfa and pjcad..
well .. i can say that goin to edu fairs created more troubles for me..  biggrin.gif

oh n btw..jasonlim.. my form5 classmate has the same name as u .. haha


*
As far as i know, graphic designers pay is quite low at the beginning but in the long run, im not sure...art directors pay is high lolz...
my english sux too...half bucket oni rclxub.gif

and yah...dasein majority is chinese....i dont remember seeing any other races when i go and find my friend there... biggrin.gif
its ok to ask alot of things...we duno thats why we ask...
oh ya... im bad at maths too...failed my add maths XD doh.gif

but the most important thing is that u need to keep pushing urself and keep learning/exploring no matter what college/uni you're in.

jason is a very common name biggrin.gif i have a few friends named jason too but not the same surname biggrin.gif
