1. Design for Need | Sustainable Design.

- designing for designing needs; social; cultural; and etc.

2. Conventions of Social Representation.

- physical and social representation; representation by design; multicultural grounds.

3. Meaning! Semiotic in Visual Communication.

- semiotics as a field of study, discipline and its application in design and advertising; and creative play of sign, codes and structures.

4. Functionalism in Typography Design for Printed Matter or for Digital Format.

- the role typography plays in the visual communication industry; case study; Paper and Pixel: tool shaping processes.

5. Culture, Space and Place.

- how to articulate a sense of place. (ex: Malays in India; Chinese in Malaysia; etc.)

6. New Media and Its Impact in Design.

- how has the emergence of new media and technologies shaped design and changed designer's roles?

7. Media, Truth and Perceptions: propaganda and persuasion in the media.
