I feel I am getting better at designing posters these days. No kidding. But then, the posters I designed seem to have a common pattern. An easily-recognized pattern. Like this one:

Before we went in to Redang for the weekend, my Supervisor suggested that we design a new poster that depicts the activities of a volunteer who participates in the Volunteer Program. I agreed to it (despite it being a last-minute idea and that I don’t work well with last-minute arrangements) because the idea has been playing in my mind for quite some time too (I even had the layout incubated in my head) but did not materialize because I did not have all the necessary pictures despite being a volunteer myself in 2004.
My Supervisor provided most of the pictures used in the poster while I did the rest - arranging, resizing, cropping - in about 6 hours.
If you have read the poster and would like to read more about the program, please visit the SEATRU website. But please note that beginning next year, the Volunteer Program will run from Saturday to Saturday, instead of from Sunday to Sunday - this is for the better, trust me, as you only need to take five days off instead of six.
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
seems attractive and very rare chance we can have such exposures….read the guides in the KUSTEM website…hmm, wonder how ‘rough’ will the situation there be….
pelf: The new facilities are up and running, so now the research station looks like a resort
if only i could participate … sigh
pelf: Err.. Why not leh?
Whatdya use for your poster designs? Hehe I never liked designing those stuff.
pelf: Err.. Photoshop..?? It didn’t come naturally, you know. But once you are expected to produce posters once in a while, you tend to scrutinize whatever posters you see, and from there derive your idea :))
isshh isshh…my photos were too late =(
anyway, i might be going there again next year after my a-levels…very syok leh..

I note that you are pretty much dedicated to this conservation project.
Do you have any educational projects that inculcates this value to younger children? I have three daughters (between 3 and 7) and would like them to understand this kinda projects, perhaps joining in the basic efforts? Please advise if there is one here in Malaysia.

pelf: I am not aware of any conservation projects that cater to children - perhaps you’d like to join Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) as a family so that your girls may get to expose themselves to the variety of activities carried out?
