It won’t teach you any design skil l . It is just

a dairy, diary of a design student. Is explore

from my own experince, what I saw and waht

I felt during my design study. And hope this

book can be a good reference for those stu-

dent who looking for design couses. Do you

want to know more about a design student

lifestyle? Know more about their study and

more understand their mind?

Yes, check it out here :)

What I Want

what do you want

Have you try to ask your-

sel f “What do you want” before?

h m m . . . . . .

hey, what I want

actual ly?? huh??

may you tel l me??

of course design . . .I a lways look you draw here draw there. . .= .=”

Parents will always hope their

dear chi ldern to get a good

resu l t then only can have a

great l i fe in t he f u tu r e . The

term of “g r e a t l i f e ” i s h i gh

s a l a r y a n d g o o d w o r k i n g

environment. Actually this kind

of thinking of parents are very

simpleness, they j u s t wan t t o

make su r e their children can

live with good in the future

and also when their children

live without them.

! @#$%^& * ( ! ! ! >. <

But for all the teenage now day.

A good life does not equal to

high salary. If let’s say have a

high salary but do something

that not your interesting, not

enjoy in the job. Then even the

salary is high, the life will only

have all the vexation. Maybe

is too young, they stil l need

to explore this reality world.

They just want to get what they

want, they will just speak out

with their soul.

And nowaday, all teenage will not to worry about no food to eat or not enough wearing everyday. For the social need now day. If you are enough creat ive and innovative, then you can be alive and maybe even better than others.

So, just like that, I persuade my parents in the end and confirm my design journey :p

A very old idea -

Only those people whose not

good in study will go to art.

Have to know, what is the thing

we should pay more attention

into. That is “Attitude”. Difficult

but important. It is relate with

inner beauty, action, thinking

and so on.

And also I found that, got many

people who are got straight A

on their result also study in art

and design!! They are looking

for what they want, so let’s

get forward with our dream

together!! :D

Time is te l l ing us , on ly

non-stop forward can bring

u s much mo re imp rove ;

non-stop explore can bring

us wonderful future. Not for

yourself only, is for every-

one. So, all square people,

please open your eye and

see how is the world now,

and then change your mind.

If not, you will be out.

Don’t let square be your

wheel. If not you will never

get forward.

Not need have weekly assembly,

do not have any school uniform,

do not have school bae, do not

have student number on the

wear do not have the military

green pants, do not need to

worry about the length of the

hair. Yes! :D

We are reach another section of

the life. Although we are leave

the law away, but we have to

start to pay responsibility to

ourself already. Cannot be the

one whose sleep all the time in

the class or run away from class

already. It is very strange also,

when you reach a level, you will

also start to think about respect

yourself. Because the enviro-

ment is change and you also

chenge by the enviroment.

Cannot don’t pass up homework

like before, cause need to pay

responbility to ourself. Cannot

found any excuse like “what

a boring class” then sleep at

class, cause really not boring at

all. Cannot have unlimited time

to think something bad thing

to do, cause you will not have

much time to spend.

At here, this section, not need

hard work for anyone else, not

need to care the number on the

paper. Be yourself, it is enough.

Honestly, the tools for design

course is very much. So, during

the begining will be the highest

spend part, but very enjoyable

on buying ;p

You will get a big big case,

bigger than other people one. A

compasses set that much more

compl icated than normal one.

The quantity of ruler will more

than normal people used and

special function. Pen !! 0.1, 0.2,

0.3, 0.4, 0.5...@.@” Pencil, HB,

2B, 3B, 4B....@.@” faint..

Member of Creative

When chose Design as my study

course. I feel that the creative

people of the world have in-

crease one more people :)

I had been told myself with very

foolish and childish thinking. I

told myself, I want to be very

professional and famous de-

signer. So I must very very hard

work on each of my artwork.

Sound likes a very good pur-

pose. But during the process,

might be lose your direction,

no idea, sometime will let the

things around you to impact

your mind, ca nnot make a

decision and many other strange

thing to impacted. All of this

are given us chasten, experi-

ence to go forward and achieve

our profession.

I ’m very proud to say. I ’m one

of the member of creative, and

I create my own life. Just play

around with your Creativity!! ^^

Having ClassToday class is... model? Need

to do model by manually? That

is mean use our own hand to

create out a model? Oh my god,

I thoungh design course only do

somthing like drawing only.

First time to touch this kind of

material, Paper Clay. At the end,

the table, hand and clothes all

become white and just look like

a painter, that kind whose job is

painting walls :D

today. . . . now. . . . t h i s moment . . . .

we’re go ing to do. . . . .

paper c lay work

. . . . . . . .

mess up-ing. . .

Yeah~ ! ! S i r~

I done I done~ ! ! ^^

n ice huh?? hahaha

Because the sockets are limited

in each class room, so normally

we will have external socket to

increse the socket for laptop

users. Remember got one time,

laptop trun off itself suddenly!!

What’s wrong?! All the file have

not save yet!! T.T

Then a sound comes “ Sorry ya

friend, mistake in switch off

socket~” @#$%^&* !!

Stil l remember, when I was sec-

ondary school, the most boring

class is the History class. That

time, I thought once I graduated

from secondary school, then can

leave the History class far far

away from me. But now, how

come stil l have to take History

class at here? =.=”

When something can not be

change, so we just need to try

to accept it. Lucky all the class

room got the air conditional,

and the cornal of the wall is the

most popular seat. Because ev-

eryone are having a some idea,

it is have a reat, have a nap XD

yeah~ I wil l be the first~ haha

boom~!

sorry ya~

wrong of f

WearIn college, normally can see

some people their wearing

very “In” one. And than your

reaction will be that kind

l ike “ Wa “ . The sense of

every designer will be dif-

ferent, so the taste will be

different also. What I prefer

is, wear what you feel well

and comfortable, it will be

the best :)

In case, those people whose

are wearing very “In” one,

will be the topic around all

student also. Also because

of this, I know they are from

Fashion Design department.

No wonder their wearing

will so “In” and very thing is

make sense now :D

It could divides to three sections. First

is the begining of a new semester .

Because i t make people fee l l ike just

star t a new sem so st i l l fee l f ree , not

busy on study yet. After class, normally

will holding a movie ticket, back home

to have a hibernation or holding a mic

and crazy shout. Otherwise will go to

do some foot exercise, what a good

and healthy life style :D

Second w i l l b e t he m idd l e pa r t

during a semester. No more free time

and power to do foot exercise. Have to

do many research, ideation, layout and

etc @.@

So after class, normally will go back

to have a nap or do some home work.

Time for play will getting less and less.

Third, it is a golden hard working sec-

tion. The final of a semester. You can

see everyone in the college are rushing

their own work, the face become all in

one, and some stink faces. Actually,

after class will be the same as having

class >.<

W h o k n o w s i t h a v e a c l o s e s t

relationship with the first section that

think “stil l feel free, not busy on study

yet”. haha :D dadadad.. .

treasure all the time with your friends

and your study l ife

Sickit is good, if you are living with

your family. Good in food and

abso rb enough nu t r i t i on f o r

l i v i ng w i thou t f am i l y , p l e a se

take care yourself. Nobody will

treat you like your family. When

you are sick, not only feel suffer

and also delay your progress of

work. If really get sick already,

hope that is not during the final

assignment time. That will be

another trouble o.o”

By the way, if really get sick.

The frist have to do is stil l have

to take a rest, after recover than

only can move forward :)

AH Chewww! !
