Okay, lets start from my short getaway to KL. Actually before the week of so called mid-term break which doesn't apply to us engineers, I decided to flew myself to KL for some personal reason that I can't talk about it and to see my friends and the boyfie. As usual, went for shopping and indulging myself with FOOD.

After I came back from KL, the whole mid-term break I was busy with assignments especially on my electives units which really really time consuming for the moodbook and postcard assignment. Basically, in this Design Studio unit I learned how to use Photoshop, In-design and Illustrator all by myself and a little help and tips from my beloved classmate and the boyfriend just to arrange my layout and cropping it. Learning these three software is not easy and also when you're not familiar with it, it does takes time to get it all done. So, design units is easy? No.
Most engineers taking electives in design they don't really care bout it because to them they just wanted to pass and there is no final to it and to some of my friends they thought that design is easy la.. just a piece of cake. Telling me that I'm an engineering student and indirectly say that I shouldn't busy with design. Well, if elective units are not require to pass. Why bother enrol and wasting my time doing my elective instead using my precious time to complete my engineering units? Speaking back of easy, try do it my way and see how long does it takes you to complete the whole moodbook plus the postcards.
Once done, have to get approval from the lecture. Eventually there are some layouts that I need to change. Again, time to proceed to the next stage have delayed. Second time consulting the lecture, all layouts have been approved by my lecture. Yay! Then I'm good to go for printing my arranged layout for a later stage which is the main point of this unit: CUT AND PASTE.
Here I am thinking that cut and paste is easy and having the thought of I can complete my Moodbook few days ealy, you're wrong. It took me another week to complete it plus another 4 postcard collage I have to do and they have to be related either by themes or shapes.
