Model making Induction
Ms Monica
I attended the model-making induction in case I needed to utilise the machines for more accurate making of models within my domain. Managed to learn about the styrofoam cutter, scroll saw, sanding machine and even had a chance to familiarise myself via hands-on practices. Overall it was a good learning experience and introduction to using the tools provided in the workshop alongside the expertise of Monica.

Honesty, Patience and a whole lot of commitment
Ms Kelly Limerick
​
For design insights there were questions posed about how ethics and morals come into design and if it should be considered as a designer. This would personally relate to priorities and where the designer stands within society today. Eugenics was mentioned in class by Johnston and I thought it was a great example of how ethics and morals come into play with this creation. It is made for the right reasons, as it can help a long line of people who have inherited a certain bad gene for generations. But is it stepping over the line as to how we are changing the course of nature? As someone who grew up in a religious household, I am torn knowing that someone has essentially become God with this technology. Not to mention a potential evil lying in this technology because of the limitless possibilities science will push for.
​
Personally, I design to help society progress, but a designer should also hold their beliefs true to themselves as it will reflect the way they are perceived. I do not want to have any regrets in the future for a previous design that might have rubbed people the wrong way when my reputation is on the line. So for me, I’d pay close attention to ethics and morals when designing to not get ridiculed.

Things about paper
Ms Fiona Seow
​
Fiona has been doing paper art for a long time, and even had exhibits showcased in Japan and Singapore. Her experience with paper is on a level that I found really intriguing and awestruck. With many types of sculptural forms and artistic designs it is amazing the kind of things that she has made with paper in scale and intricacy. Its also interesting that this hobby and interest is not in line with her actual job, she is a prime example of an artist through passion and not title.

Crafting Immersive Experiences:
Introduction to the role of UIUX in video games
Ms Lum Pui Man
The speaker came from Riot games, she briefly talked about her contribution to 2 games she is currently involved in. As a gamer, I felt that the talk gave me more insight on various aspects that contribute to the game’s playstyle and immersion into the worlds. Game design involves a plethora of various systems and mechanics which can be better enhanced by having good UI design. Overall, how to integrate each UX experience into a design solution is paramount to creating extra value to boost ideas and concepts.
