Today is Thursday,again. Feeling like time in Dalian is always in a faster pace comparing to Singapore. We had our interim review in the morning and as usual attended a talk in the afternoon.

The talk today is about The wisdom and method of expression. No matter human being or animals, they usually use their behavior as a kind of expression of their thoughts. If somebody gets closer to you, it means that he or she is trying to show friendliness to you. Therefore, it is essential to learn about this and translate into design. Design is also about how you did something and conveyed the message to the end-user. Another element, communication came in. Design is also about how we communicates the idea and transform it into either 2dimensional or 3 dimensional.

I like the talk today more comparing to the previous one. I can absorb more and understand more from this professor. Maybe the contents are more related to our course studies and also the way how she expressed her thoughts to us. She mentioned that manual drawing is still very important nowadays although the technology is so advanced and many people are using that to produce stuff. To be a top designer, manual sketching techniques are expected as a basic skill that we are able to manipulate well. Also, hand sketching is the best way to translate and record down our ideas in mind to a paper. From there, we can start to move forward and forward.

Manual drawing is not that well-drawn doesn't really matter. The most important thing that we must bear in mind is "Practice makes perfect". As long as we are keen in learning something, it can be achieved someday.
