Notes

In my opinion, Arts and Design is worthy of appreciation, particularly in expressing the special meanings and messages through distinctive images, forms, lines and colours from different medias such as visual communication or products design which can enliven our life quality. In order to upgrade my knowledge in the area of Arts and Design, I would like to further my study in Applied and Media Arts which helps me to achieve my dream of becoming a meaningful and professional graphic designer in the future.

I believe that Arts and Design is a visual and artistic form of communication which can bring me delights, meaningfulness, sense of satisfactions and introspection which make me strongly engaged to my art activities since I was young. Since my primary school life, I have been studying in Visual Arts. I have participated in different competitions and activities inside and outside school so as to obtain more experiences in the area of arts. When I was in secondary school, I have chosen Visual Arts as my electives and I have learnt more about the history, techniques and applications of Visual Arts such as drawing, painting, and producing three-dimensional works like paper-cutting, carving and sculpture making. Owing to the frequent contact with Visual Arts, I have enhanced my sense of arts and learnt to appreciate Visual Arts.

When I was attending Hong Kong Design Institute, I have studied about Product, Interior and Exhibition Design in the first year. After that, I have studied about Jewelry Design for two years in order to learn some ingenious design skills and craft. Through those practical sessions in the workshop at school, I have gained some concentration, discreetness and observation, which are the compulsory elements for being a good designer. Taking courses of Jewelry Design, I have developed a strong interest in different culture of arts, Graphic Design, Interactive Media and Contemporary Design as I have been reinforced my intellection of arts and culture. Moreover, in order to cope with the progressive society, I have taken some computer courses outside school to learn about the use of graphical software which are useful for design purposes. I realized that I am very interested in Arts and Design.

I am keen on music, so I have become a choir member from primary to secondary schools which equips me with diversified artistic quality. Also, I have taken up the posts of assistant section leader of senior choir, class treasurer and tour guide. From them, I have gained some patience, leadership, team-spirit, responsibility, communication and management skills, which are believed to be indispensable elements for being a designer. Besides, high creativity and curiosity are the most obvious personalities of mine, which are also some important elements of designer. In order to strengthen my creativity and sense, I often spend my spare time drawing comics, reading novels and reference books of visual artworks. In addition, I am a graphic artist of the publisher and also a freelance designer who designs logos and posters for the customers of the online shop. As a result, I believe that my past experiences can lead me the way to the study in Applied and Media Arts.

After my graduation, I have become a Graphic Designer in a publication company as I possess an strong interest in Arts and Design activities. Having the sense and skills in Graphic Design, I applied them in my job to improve the living standards and values of the society.



It would be my privilege to study in this reputed university as she gets comfortable environment and well-equipped facilities for studying. I hope you can consider my application for the Bachelor of Arts in Applied and Media Arts in SPEED of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, as I am wholeheartedly interested in studying Applied and Media Arts.
