I had learnt a lot of things from the speaker, Lionel Chin.
When he enters the lecture room, i just thought that he is just a normal simple person
Get to know that he is someone who is quite successful. It is very amazing indeed.
He do mention some points that is quite interesting to me. Firstly he mention about the working world. From what he said, the working world and school is very different. I do agree on that because I have been working and it seem that it is quite challenging comparing to school. School is being challenge by grade but in working world, they challenge by money, ranks and statues. Creating website for projects is quite easy as we able to get help from the lecturer and the tasks can be extending by persuading the lectures. Creating website for clients is quite risky as you need to be more well knowledge and able to give best website to meet the client’s satisfaction. Clients can be picky and also can be very demanding on what they wanted.
The great things is when you meet the need of client satisfaction, you also will be satisfy with the
work that you done. It will be a great achievement for you. Next thing is commitment. In web design you actually need a lot of commitment. It is not easy to make a website because there a lot of step needs to be done. First step is the website draft which actually had to be done in 1 to 3 working days. After that are the revision and the coding. It depend whether the client wanted to use html or other software which needed in the website which takes about 3 to 5 working days. Lastly the final review it actually takes about 2 to 3 weeks due to client approval or adjustment. It quite a risky task to do as they need to have more commitment when making the website.
He does mention one thing is that it better to make a portfolio as it could actually increase the standard that we are in now. Creating more unique design on our own able help us to improve more and develop more interesting design. He said that twitter is very useful website as it enables us to updates just by using hand phone.
He saves up a lot of money during his ns life before making a business. What he did really inspired me. Before he makes a business, he is a normal freelancer. He really works hard to make his own business which he name Ripplewerkz. He also did a lot of other website that is xiaxue.blogspot, nuffnagg.com, bossming.com, clicknetwork.tv, lunchactually, theblackdogstore and other more. He is quite successful I must say. He also said it better for us to start as a freelancer when we are still a student. It will help us to improve our skills.
Lionel Chin was a student once and after a few years saving up money during his ns period, he starts a business with a client and there he was very successful. There are some up and down when he making his business but he never give up. If he can do it, so do i.
