Students cop penalties as universities turn to strike-busting tactics.
Students have been dragged into historic industrial disputes at campuses across Melbourne as the union warns more universities are turning to the aggressive strike-busting tactics normally seen in the private sector.
And just like that uni is over.... this is the final shot from my RMIT Animation grad film, 'The Passage', I handed in on Friday 😳 Not sure when I'll be sharing the whole thing because I want to finish parts that didn't make it into the assignment edit, and I'm considering festivals as well. In other news I'm really excited to be starting a studio job in less than two weeks!! 👀
& thank you to Mulan Diao for helping out with the colouring on this one ✌️
I set myself three goals at the start of the year:
Finish my Master of Information Management degreePass my probation at workA personal health-related goal, which I’m not posting here
I didn’t want to get too ambitious. The last two years have been draining, and I wanted to keep my goals for this year achievable.
Which was probably a good idea. I caught COVID in March, and four months later I…
Testing out new ways of protecting astronauts in space
The experiment – called RADICALS – has the capacity to fundamentally change how astronauts and electronics are protected from harmful radiation in space by promising to be smaller, lighter and filter out more types of radiation.
The 10cm cubesat was joined by eleven other experiments making up the four hundred and forty two kilo payload on the maiden flight of the Red Kite and Improved Malemute…
Working together you will need to design and produce your client's final deliverables in the coming weeks. How do you feel about this challenge? Do you have all the skills and knowledge you need to complete the tasks? What learning opportunities does the project offer for you as an individual?
In this week, we've just finished our presentation for our client - Four Paws/ BSNB. We expect to have feedback and a chosen brief within this week and hopefully can kickstart our project right away. For me personally, i am really excited for this project, the cause of the organization is definitely something I've been caring about for a while, and it's such a relief that such a big organization contributes to pushing back illegal bear bile farming. So for me to participate in a project like this and somehow contribute to the cause of the environment, I'm really pumped and beyond happy. I'm confident in myself and my teammates to bring the best possible result to this collaboration.
Although getting this brief is quite unexpected because it was not fully in my skillset, (my skillset is illustrations, animation, 3D so i if im being honest i was aiming for brief 2) but im up for the challenge of product development and packaging since it was also something i want to develop as a side profession. i definitely gonna have to research more into product design, packaging, budget, printing both on different materials like paper, cardboard, fabric, etc. Other than Design industry learning opportunities, i think this project will offer me in depth knowledge about the environment in general, and moon bear habitat and situations in Vietnam, AND opportunity to research more on Vietnamese culture because im planning to incorprate local myth, folklore and holiday into our project.
Project update
It's the 2nd week we havent got a respond from Jeremy about the chosen brief and everyone in my team and other teams is nervous. The thing is we dont know what content of which people gonna be chosen to proceed with the projects. We've been trying to contact BSNB trying to push them for an answer but we still havent got any feedback yet. So we r listening to our lecturers to push some fixed design up first, like Thank you card and stickers, some of our members r finding vendors and how to execute our products.
