The imagery of this year's graduation exhibition took "Not Necessarily Uncertain" as its theme, implying that in the creative process, students use the uncertainties, such as the "probability" and "change" angle of the slot machine, as their fundamentals to explore the random changes in graphics. In the process, students should grasp the changing graphics and become signifiers, which suggest that the college has embraced the diversity of talents and highly flexible signified images, trying to abandon the previous forms and templates and help establish the connection among the five departments. By taking the reinterpretation of symbols as its guide, the exhibition demonstrates strong potential on the part of the college to freely and continuously evolve, break through the dilemma of thinking, and overcome difficulties, so that creativity and creation will not be hindered by the pandemic.

The theme of this year's graduation exhibition of the Department of Visual Communication Design, STUST, is "Current Collection." It is a display to record the current results, with the collection as its core, emphasizing the use of deliberately rough and willful processing techniques from short-term collections, allowing designers to learn from different creative fields. Through the short stay of the moment, the initially scattered individuals record the present in the process of going to the gathering of the collection.

The theme of the graduation exhibition of the Department of Creative Product Design at STUST is "GOODs Manufacturing Institute," which is a staged situation that combines what students have learned, felt, and gained over the past four years. It leads everyone to the GOODs Manufacturing Institute to visit the psychological process of product design, guides everyone to understand what could be interweaving, colliding, and reorganizing attempts, and helps people understand the important process of design in life.

The theme of the graduation exhibition of the Department of Information Communication is "Quickly Efficient at Night." When plants undergo photosynthesis, the most important element is the chloroplast, and the chlorophyll in the chloroplast is responsible for obtaining energy from sunlight. "Quickly Efficient at Night" means that the students of the Department of Information Communication absorb school knowledge and nutrients during the day, and at night they can give full play to their strengths, edit clips efficiently, and stimulate their brains quickly.
