My Lifestyle As A Designer Part 1

KL Design Week 09 and Earth Hour

KL Design Week 09 is held in Malaysia this year, it's the largest annual international design event. And KLDW is collaborated with Earth Hour to promoted "Become". "Become" is an exhibition projects that focusing on saving the environment and a campaign yo urge the public to "say no to plastic bag!". Of course, I don't want to miss the event by any chance, me and my copywriter friend was participated in this event.

One of the collection of 1000+7 designs
that showcased in KL CapSquare, carrying
'save the green' illustrated messages.

In the exhibition, they showcased both local and international designers works, and they also showcased college students' works. And we realized works from non-design college was far more better than the design college, from conceptualization to execution, they was really impressive! And we both agreed that we don't mind to pay them RM 3000 to work for us. It was easy to find a designer and there are a lot of them in our industry, but designer with good attitude, pure and original thought and ideas was getting difficult to find. Most of the students in our college was blinded and stuck up by their own pride and alter ego, that's why they can't manage to achieve anything! Shame on us!

Students' artworks from Taylor College, which are far more
better than most of our college students.

KLDW showcased both local and international designers'
works in Young Tigers Exhibition and Degree Show.

Beside help the students embarking on a new career in new
market place, it also help the local art and creative education
in developing their education modules and methodology.

After the exhibition, the time was almost 8.30pm, we went to the location where the countdown for Earth Hour was held. Joey G from Channel [V] was the host of the night, and Belinda from 8tv and other local celebrities was there, all of them was participated in the Earth Hour event. Too bad, we didn't manage to snapped a lot of picture that night, but we experienced the darkness in that 1 hour, without light... And it was not that bad after all. The objective of this event was not just to turn off the light, of course, it about conserve the energy and protect our resource. Some might think only one of them is useless, but if all of us was participate in saving our environment, we can make a different!

Beside conserve energy and saving our resource, Earth Hour
also brought people to gather around and to help improve
the relationship between people.
