Not One Less .. ?

" Not One Less "

A movie directed by Zhang Yimou , released in 18th of February 2000 and received a lot of  positive feedbacks from the viewers.

 The movie started off with a 13 year old girl name Mei Minzhi having to substitute a kindergarten teacher known as Teacher Gao. She had to be a substitute for a month since he'll be going away and Teacher Gao had instructed her to not lose any students since he had already lost a few students before and he can't afford to lose more.Thus , not one less.



The story continues when this one particular boy in her class ran away to the city to find jobs that can sustain his mother's. Mei determined to get him back to school thus the adventure of her began when she gathered her remaining students to work at a factory to gain some money so she could afford the bus ticket to the city. All this with one main goal , to fetch her student that ran away. She had some up and downs while searching for her student but she found him eventually.

Not to mention , this movie also contains a lot of moral values that one could use as a guideline in their life. For example , this movie shows how important education is especially in the rural areas where education is hard to find. Whereas kids in the rural areas are mostly to involve themselves in jobs instead of having a proper education because they need the money to survive but little do they know that education could provide them a whole lot more for their future.

Besides that , the movie taught us that no matter how hard the situation is and no matter how hopeless you're feeling there will always be a way for you as long as you don't give up. In the movie this was shown when Mei worked hard with her students in order to get the money needed and she didn't gave up on her student instead she worked even harder.

In conclusion this movie managed to deliver the message to the audience with precision. Not one less delivered a great emotional story to life as Zhang Yimou had managed to create one fine masterpiece.

My take on Advertising Design class - Week 1

So, this is basically my fourth AD class as an advertising student. Let's see, my first sem was more towards making a poster digitally then my second sem is making motion graphics with logos that has already been established, i remembered mine was for llaollao. Third sem is making a  new logo, product, mobile app and a short video. I think i learnt a lot from this class especially in designing and how to make it more appealing towards my target audience. It's helpful especially if i were to go to an advertising agency when i graduate or for an internship, however this class doesn't really teach you on the technicalities besides relying on the other class that you're taking or self taught. The lecturers are basically our clients and we're meant to please their taste in designs and do amends according to how they want it which is basically how it works in the real world so i think that's a good start. I learnt how to do motion graphics, 3D modelling etc. and i...

DTC - WEEK 6 ENTRY 1

Most of our group members are quiet and busy with their own thing and luckily me and Uzair are in the same faculty so we see each other more often to talk about our DTC project and although we've started to do some basic sketching on the how the design of the website are going to look like we still can't proceed with it because our other group members are up to their own assignments and i am left with Uzair to do the rest.

DTC - WEEK 8 ENTRY 2

It is finally over! after 4 weeks of frustration and restless sleeps DTC is finally over and I am so glad that I am done with this because i have tons of other assignments to worry about! Although i overslept for a bit , i still managed to arrive to day on time and when i reached there my group mate Uzair was setting up our pitch deck and then later came Harith and Si lence was the last to arrive. Today wasn't a good day at all, coincidentally all of us ran out of ink printers so we couldn't print it the night before and we were hoping that we could print it in the morning before the DTC but sadly even the 24hrs printing shop were closed today because of raya haji so Uzair only managed to print out the value proposition canvas and the project title that i designed yesterday. Our pitch deck wasn't perfect but it's standing at least. It may looked bland but we have all the information in our laptops. We waited for a while until the our first judge came to our ...
