The corona pandemic still attacks the world today and requires everyone to stay home to cut the spread of the virus. This brings a different impact for each individual where in this case, all teaching and learning activities must be carried out online. As an overseas student, this is my first experience attending an online class. But personally, it feels nothing different from learning directly in class but all activities are transferred to the laptop screen. The duration of each lesson is still following the schedule. The theory is still well delivered by the lecturer. The student still has time to consult one on one to maximize the assignments and the discussion continues to run smoothly with classmates.
According to schedule, this term I still continue to study Fashion Future Innovators and also Fashion Proof Development Planning. Even so, the knowledge I learned and gained would certainly remain different from the previous term. Like leveling up, the difficulty of a lesson will also increase, but we will develop more skills. Let's discuss it one by one!
For the Future Fashion Innovators lesson, I must continue the task I had done in the previous term. I chose to make a creative proposal rather than a business proposal. Why creative proposal? The main reason is that I need to make a business proposal for my final project, so I want to learn and explore other things first to get both of the knowledge for my future. Since all the secondary research has been done before, this term is the time to create a campaign concept and make it happen. Unfortunately, this corona pandemic became an obstacle for me to realize the campaign I wanted to create. Therefore, creativity is needed in this situation where I decide to practice my drawing skills to give the best illustration instead so the lecturer understands the message that I want to convey. For example, I finally made a video campaign into a storyboard format with illustrations for each scene along with details of the clothes used, what activities were carried out, how the situation was described, and what music played as back sound was my attempt to illustrate the ideas that I had. Although it was difficult, I really enjoyed all the time I spent thinking about strategy, concept, and illustration in Photoshop for this creative proposal.

While for the Fashion Proof Development Planning lesson, some things still remain the same. I have to post 9 blogs with 3 portfolios for each term consistently. But there will be a lot of experience that I get from this lesson. Previously at the beginning of the term, my classmates and I were participated in the Singapore Fashion Revolution event by creating posters for their Instagram content. In the initial plan, we will also help the running of Fashion Revolution Week held at the Strait Clan and unfortunately, the coronavirus makes this event held online so there is nothing we can do. Since we have to make/ participate in an event to fulfill this lesson's requirements, my friends and I choose to make an online talk show via Instagram live that will be done at the end of the term. Until this time is still developing where we are divided into 3 groups and I got a job to inviting panelists and marketing. To be honest, finding a panelist was not easy, but it really improves my ability to communicate with others.
This term feels heavier than the previous term, but many new lessons and skills that I got. On the other hand, my time management capability has greatly improved since the number of tasks required me to make a schedule to divide my time well to be completed one by one.
