The Story of "BREAKTHROUGH"
from the 3 young graphic designers
Hi Everyone!
We started working on our final project in Sem May 21, during the time when Movement Control Order (MCO) 3.0 took place. And now, after six months, it is finally a wrap (almost)!
It has not been easy for us to work on our final projects fully online. We were not able to meet each other physically to share our ups and downs during the working process in the last six months. Our mood swings. At the beginning stage, we were quite positive in solving problems and in producing flexible forward planning but most of the times later on, we got frustrated and distracted easily. We should be honest; we did not stay motivated all the time when doing our projects… (but having said that, who can really stay motivated and study hard all the time?)
But we overcame these contextual and personal limitations, eventually. And that was the key reason why we named this showcase as ‘breakthrough’. This period of time marked an important milestone not only for our studies, but also for our personal discovery and growth.
Rather than showing the dynamism, aggressiveness, and loudness and the outcome of breakthrough, we hope to express it in a more implicit and subtle manner and like an on-going process. Sometimes, our breakthrough is small, but we have to self-aware and -acknowledge that it is there. We believe that our original intention of doing something is the source of strengths for all kinds of breakthroughs to happen in our lives, as it can provide us with firm and consistent supports to overcome our limitations and other contextual factors.
We are venturing into an unknown future, and our breakthrough journey will continue…
