FI-FI

Here is a little story about the time before I entered Temasek  Polytechnic. I was really afraid as to what to expect, coming into design school. I didn't know what to dress for school and didn't how people would be like. I was also troubled with regards to how classes will be like. However, once I went to their Design Orientation Camp, I fell in love with the school. I have found out that the seniors here are so friendly and nice and during camp. All of us, freshies, asked the Group Leaders how it was like being in design and their answers brought me comfort, making us realize that there is nothing to worry about as long as you are passionate in what you do.

As a designer, personally, I am always interested in the visuals aspects of design. This is why I naturally lean towards illustration, rather than branding, integrated or photography. Before entering Design school, I didn't know anything about digital art or any of the Adobe software. At first, it was difficult and challenging. However, I have soon learned that everything good takes time. After a few months, I finally got more familiar with the software and find it manageable and comfortable to work with now. 

As design students, we are required to brainstorm and come up with a lot of ideas. However, these ideas get put down by our lecturers most of the time and can bring our morals down. Nonetheless, this did not stop me from persevering and putting in my best effort. Our lecturers will always push us to our limits so that we can produce our best works. Other than the lecturers, we will also be surrounded by talent friends, which leads to high competitiveness levels, which might get suffocating. Despite that, I believe this trains us for the working industry and stretches us to our fullest potential.
