GDI over MM?

For people who don't know...

GDI- Graphic Design Illustratio

n

MM- Multimedia

Creating aesthetic layouts in websites / profiles are my interest since 2006 my very first year of home internet-access...

Then I was exposed to Photoshop when my sis took the AD courses in uni...

It was fun playing around with it and I'm so addicted in making Rain's wallpaper then...

How sad...I don't have a copy of those cause my comp once attacked by virus and have to brain wash harddrives.

Anyway, since first get in touch with these technologies, my destiny started to change from a archeologist to a web designer.

Huge difference right? Lol.

After graduation from secondary school, I made my choice into The One Academy and chose to pursue a degree...and I'm feeling lucky that chose degree coz I think diploma in TOA will shorten my life for sure.

During the last sem in foundation, I decided to further my year 1 in MM which definitely means that I am making my route towards the multimedia related career...

That time, my eccentric lecturer Mr. Stephen told me that he's shock that I chose MM and not GDI. He said from my writings to artworks...they indicates that I'm more towards the GDI side.

I told him I would like to get into web design and he expressed that he can't comment anything as long as I like what I'm doing. But, he still doesn't think MM is suitable for me.

Soon, we started our level 1 lifestyle and sem A passed by...

Slowly, I started to understand what he meant...

MM students are more embracing the development of technology and sciences while GDI is more of cultural side. I never knew that MM students need to be so exposed to technology and sciences...of course we are to do art, but it seems that most artwork and writings are related to subjects which includes future and cyber...

If this can't help you to understand MM, "The Matrix" is definitely a compulsory for MM students...so you know what I mean? Technology and human...and so do the artworks...

While we are mostly dealing with keywords like futuristic, cyber, dystopian, utopian and etc, my GDI friends mos

tly work with manual stuffs which is more of handmade. More to artist side perhaps...

I've been receiving comments all the while saying that I should not be in MM...

Well, I did feel it too because when compare my flash animations and my friends...

Storyline and ideas is very different as if like mine enhances on humane and theirs more to the machineries itself...

And now, even worst, my new friend also commented the same after only the very first day of class...she said I doesn't look like I belongs to MM...I asked her why would she think like that...

She said she just feel it...and of course my appearance plays part of it...She said many in the class looks more GDI in terms of attire but in terms of behaviour, they are still MM.

o.O So Stephen really have a very accurate far vision?! 무섭다!

I was in Korean class yesterday, wearing my new colourful shirt cap and shorts..Chloe said I look hiphop for the day.

When Wai Yee stepped into the room, her comment on me after her first glance is...

"Chingu, u look so graphic designer lar~"

OMG! even

my 친한 said the same thing...

and some others said I fashion designer...

and where is my multimedia designer?????????

Eleh~ why stereotype multimedia designer? Is it all of MM students or even designer dress more plainly?

If so, then I'll be the different one lar...

Maybe I'm falling to deep for Koreans since from all their dramas and shows, they express more

of their cultural side...and emphasis fashion...

>.<" my interest in fashion started very young okay...only that I can't purchase those clothes I like until recently...

But I actually come to refresh about my past...

Since young, I like to collect and keep whatever rubbish (except real dirty stuffs)...

I still kept them until now...I have no idea why I kept them...but now it becomes part of my memories...

I had my dropped children teeth still kept in my cupboard...

Receipts I collected no matter of what type...clothes, restaurants, groceries...anything...

Tickets like SEA Games 2001, admission tickets into places, a greeting note left by the maid lady in a hotel in China...

Ice cream sticks since standard 3, childish letter writings between me and my childhood best friend...stickers...

Used mosquitoes mat pieces...I used some for my assignment in foundation sem 1...drew on it...

Clothes tags over the years...

All my childhood toys...none given out...

Pens without ink anymore...

And I feel sad to give out or throw away...at least for awhile lar...

Well...I realize that unwanted things or unimportant things are things that need to be kept...

It is like anything is possible and become very useful for designers (especially graphic) and artist...That's why designers are advice to keep everything recorded and saved for further usage...like a big 'rubbish' site at home...Lol...

With these natural traits in me, does this mean anything from the power of Nature?

Born to choose graphic design? no MM? or I can in either?

Haha...

Oh yeah~ I love Campell so much...since young...and I like Pop Art movement...haha..

any relationship with my choice?
