The 2019 graduation exhibition—"Be Integrated"—of the College of Digital Design, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, was exhibited in Hall 1 and Hall 3 of Taipei World Trade Center, from May 3 to 6. A total of 69 works were exhibited, including animation and games, film and television works, integrated marketing, graphic and product design, etc. The theme "Be Integrated: We Each Works Hard before We Become One and Unique."

The most basic color can be used to match any possibility, just like the five-departments, specialized in its specific field and yet able to produce unlimited possibilities!

President Deng-Maw Lu of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology said that the school was awarded first place in getting the grant of Higher Education Sprout Program and the sixth among universities of science and technology nationwide. The performance of the Higher Education Sprout Program is the Ministry of Education in order to cultivate diverse talents. Taking the "Connecting to the Ground, to the International and to the Future" as the main target, STUST has also assisted other schools to develop their own characteristics and advantages. In line with current social trends and needs, the teaching methods are more innovative and more stimulating for students. In order to achieve the goal of "taking appropriate measures and promote talented students," STUST will pay attention to the needs and potentials of each student, create the value of higher education, and promote the vitality of social innovation.

The Department of Visual Communication Design employed animation design, visual design, life creativity, and other means to present different aspects and styles. The department has a total of 13 groups in the New Generation Design Awards. Among them, "Little Embroidery" is based on "embroidery", which transforms embroidery technology into a learning game and makes new and old cultures collide with each other. Sparks also enable children to cultivate their creativity and patience in the game; the work of "Praying for God" has deep historical connotations in Tainan temple culture, targeting on domestic and foreign tourists and designing six requirements for different levels of demand. God does not ask people to worship the gift box, so that when foreign tourists come to the temple, they can also understand the culture and process of worshipping in a relaxed way and relieve the trouble and pressure in their hearts, forming a friendly cultural city in Tainan. It’s a good place for the villagers to recall the past, and it carries the historical memory and culture of Taiwan. Using the paper-cutting technique, the work will take place in front of temples, scribing out the temple beliefs and saving the culture of old people's lives. The related works are all based on cultural inheritance, presented in different ways and in a great diversity of the rich culture.

The Department of Information and Communication has made a new breakthrough this year, jumping away from the types of works that used to be based on feature films, and divided them into Animation Group, Documentary Group, Feature Films Group, and Integrated Marketing Group. The short-listed media design and creative students have a documentary called "Class! Teacher." Two of them—"Tainan Hohe Fruit Shop" and "Miracle in the End", both of which are produced by "Miracle Food Room"—are both shortlisted. Through social marketing, combined with the small farmers in Tainan, the concept of food and agriculture education is promoted and presented in the style of net red.

The Department of Innovative Product Design also has many amazing works this year. The content of the work is very diverse and interesting. 4 works were selected by the Next Generation Design Exhibition—"Who is Coming to My House?"—which was shortlisted for product design. The work "Red" was shortlisted in Craft Design Category; "Grassroots--Straw Bag" was shortlisted in Fashion Design Category, while "Have Mercy, Have Mercy” was short-listed in Entrepreneurial Design Category, which is the combination of agricultural waste chopped shell powder and coffee grounds to extract the nutrients they need for plants, designed as a product that can be naturally decomposed.

The works of the Department of Multimedia and Computer Entertainment Science include 2D animation, 3D animation, and games. The finalists of the New Generation Design Exhibition are "Frenzy Retribution," "When the Bells Ring," and "Mao." These three works are distinct in style. Among them, "When the Bells Ring" uses folk beliefs and folk customs, such as Taoists and folk bands, to design a demon game, along with stories, trying to subvert the impression of the ordinary people on the folklore, create a mysterious local legend, and promote the culture that belongs to Taiwan. "Frenzy Retribution" is a fast-paced action game in the third person. The orc girl played by the player will launch a revengeful revenge in this future city of sci-fi Japan. The two works are not only exquisite in style, but also very smooth and amazing in performance.

【The work “Have Mercy, Have Mercy” by the Department of Innovative Product Design, Southern Taiwan Science and Technology, uses Tainan clam shell and coffee residue to make decomposable potted plants. In addition to eliminating the complicated movements of changing pots, it also saves the number of plastic pots being used every time. What is best is that it also provides nutrients to plants and soil to develop a friendly environment.】

This year a number of student works were selected as finalists in the New Generation Design Exhibition. The 2019 Golden Point Rookie Design Awards will be held on the venue of Next Generation Design Exhibition on May 5. Who would be the final winners? At the award ceremony on May 5, let us look forward to the student works of the College of Digital Design, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology.

【The work " Traveling in the Mountainous Island” by the Department of Information and Communication, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, is based on the well-known train—"Star of the Island"—for its thematic ticket design in three series, namely, Taiwan Rivers, Taiwan Mountains, and Taiwan Birds, hoping to present Taiwan’s rich natural beauty.】

【The work "Miracle in the End" by the Department of Information and Communication, Southern Taiwan Science and Technology, started from a food room team combined with Tainan local small farmers to a variety of experiential marketing activities, and then produced a film based on food and agriculture education and food safety issues.】
