A shocking scene yesterday in school which made me very upset (and disappointing).

The zine pop-up store that was held during semester holiday, was being left that the same place, with all our zines, silk-screen logo, t-shirts etc. Left unattended, like a trash. Messy and very messy.

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

The pop-up store was supposed to end in June. Whoever was in-charge during that time, just had to pack up, tidy everything and end this whole thing. But why LEAVE IT THERE?

If many of the stuff are left unsold, pack and throw them away, at least we wouldn't know. Or for a better, find a place to sell them (at least those good ones.) But don't leave it there, and let us (and everyone who walked in and out of the Dean's office) to see the mess!

I pity those who put in effort, whose works, are being treated like trash.

Really, I was super pissed off. How can they do this!? We rushed to complete our work, printed 3 zines, silkscreened 10 stickers/patches/t-shirts etc. The sleepless night we spent to do to complete everything. The amount of money to spend to get zines printed correctly. AND THEY JUST THROW AWAY OUR EFFORT LIKE THAT?

What's even shameful, this is an art school. Isn't an art school supposed to encourage their students, promoting their stuff? After seeing that scene, I felt so discouraged.

And doing the SATA Anniversary Seal design, is making feel even worst, that they are kind of making use of us. Us, as in student designers, who seems to be the target designers, that can be make use of, easily. Because, we are building up our portfolio! They will probably be thinking, "Ask the students to design for us. Give them a chance to build up portfolio. At the same time, save money to hire designer to design for us."

This Live project module is a total waste of our time. SERIOUSLY. It's a competition. And guess what is in the brief?
"Why should you be keen to take part in this competition?

(one of the points)

-It will add weight to your CV, if your designs are the winning entries."

So tell me, what's the point of me doing something fabulous for them, since I know I wouldn't win this? And plus, this is not a competition I'm keen to join at all. I hate doing designs related to corporate.

I wanted to hack care, and just get screw by Jessica later. I don't have the mood to do this at all. Nothing will come out good.
