Alright now, it’s time to give everyone a brief overview of what we can expect to have this coming year!

The following are three basic events we’re going to have: Designers’ Voyage, Photoshop Course, Art Fiesta. The closest event to-date is Designers’ Voyage, which will take place on Wednesday, 14th October 2009.

1. Designers’ Voyage (14th October 2009) is a get-together event which allow people who are interested with design know more about design and designers, get exposed to the industry of designing. Basically it will cover variations of designs and ads; local & international prominent designers; demo on related software and more.
2. Photoshop Course (sometime in February 2010) will take about 2-3 days, we’ll teach people about certain photoshop techniques, computer is provided for students to practice during the course section.
3. Art Fiesta (sometime in March 2010) is a big joint event that the whole VAS will take part in, interactive event/competition to attract passers to enjoy art/creative activities with us. We will work together with other subclubs in this event.

Besides these, we have also other joint projects within VAS itself, such as: (mostly quoted from Wei Liang’s e-mail)

• EXTRAVAGANZA exhibition cum competition. This nation wide event is a joint project between us NTU VAS, NUS’s Comics and Animation Society, and Collateral Damage Studios, that was kick-started by the previous committee. you can find more information here at http://extravaganza09.net/
  As part of the organizing we are obliged to help out in the execution of the events. This duty applies to all the 3 subclubs, and further details will be provided at a later date. As organizers it also means we cannot compete, but I urge you to participate to produce pieces for the non-competitive section (the KALEIDOSCOPE exhibition), as we are given a section to ourselves to display entries from NTU. It will look bad if we do not have anything on our board, yeah. Take note that there is a set theme to the exhibition, “Gamer’s High“.
• ARTBOOK Publishing our very own club artbook, or at the very least, custom merchandise. Again, thank you for sharing your works with everyone. This confirms our speculations that we have many talents amidst us this year, and that this project is feasible. We need to collate the artworks to show the main committee, so please email them to Wei Liang (Comics Chairperson) @ radiant_wing@hotmail.com, or pass them to either me or Luo Ting =). We emphasize that this is still at the planning stage, so please send as many pieces in as possible, do not worry if you think that its not good enough. The pieces are to let our committee assess the level/type of publication we can come up with. If you only have hard copies, do try to get them scanned in. You can find scanners in the Free access Lab at S4 south spine and the libraries, if I am not mistaken.

Details of each event will be updated accordingly. So do check out this page for more! =D
