REFLECTION

Webinar 1: Working in MARS: Careers & Opportunities in FMCG Industry" by MARS WRIGLEY

At the beginning of the webinar, we asked how we can quickly promote products, such as pet supplies. The group members listed different FMCG promotion places in turn, such as pet stores, veterinary clinics, online stores, AEON and other large supermarkets, etc. . At the same time, the group members also discussed how to make FMCG more attractive to buyers and sell well. Such as exquisite packaging, very eye-catching advertising design, and a marketing department that can sell products professionally. This webinar is very meaningful. I can clearly understand how to quickly promote my products to others.

Webinar 2: "Emerge Stronger with Postgraduate Education" by TAYLOR’S POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL

In this webinar, the speaker shares her thoughts with us. She believes that it is necessary for college students to continue their studies after graduation, which is also the core content of this seminar. After graduating from an undergraduate degree, becoming a graduate student and continuing to study the major we have studied can make us more proficient in the major we have studied, and it will be easier to find a job later, which is a stepping stone to finding a job. After postgraduate, we can solve problems more maturely and learn how to solve problems together with the team, so as to improve our self-leadership ability.

Webinar 3: "Design & Digital Interfaces: Understanding People to Drive Change via Technology" by UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE SCOTLAND

In this webinar, I was very fortunate to hear personal insights from designer in Scotland. In this workshop, I learned more about interface design, interaction design. In this professional field, the speaker told us that we need to pay close attention to the personal feelings and feedback of users. Only in this way can an ideal product be made.

Webinar 4: "Get Design Work and Supercharge Your Career" by CULT CREATIVE

This webinar gave me a better understanding of the industry-related knowledge. The speaker told us that it’s not that the more works you put on, the more attractive you are, but the more works you have, people won’t stop and watch your works carefully. What we need to do is to go straight to the point. Then, the speaker told us, It is necessary to focus on a certain platform and continuously update works. We need to update it frequently so as to attract more people.

Webinar 5: "Reimagining Spaces: Interior Architecture and the Metaverse, Future is Here and Now" by QHAWARIZMI ARCHITECT

This webinar gave me a better understanding of the industry-related knowledge. The speaker told us that more and more people will use AI design now. However, AI is only an aid, and cannot improve one's own level. If you rely on AI to help you complete your design, it is like a monkey using a computer. What we need to do is to let AI provide us with inspiration instead of copying the design of AI, and we still need to do the rest by ourselves, so that we will not be replaced by technology.

Webinar 6: "How Not To Produce Boring Graphic Design" by ET AL DESIGN CONSULTANT.

This webinar is presented by Mr. Phil Cleaver. He has an unconstrained design concept and has traveled to many countries. He is a master in the field of design. He showed us many interesting works of art, such as advertising light panels, fence designs, etc., and gave a personal explanation of these works in this session. He encourages us to see things from a different perspective and summarizes graphic design as the way designers express ideas through images.
