Group component
In this first project, lecturers gave us a specific career (ex. landscape architecture, developer, etc.) where in our own groups, we are to interview a person with the given career. Later we have to make a video on the interview.
Individual component
As the individual assignment, we are each supposed to create a magazine complete with proper layout and articles *6 pages requirement*
My group got quantity surveyor as the career we are suppose to interview.
So, each of the group members are required to come out with 10 questions to ask the quantity surveyor (another 5 separate questions will be asked and recorded by video)

This project required me together with my group, to interview a quantity Surveyor (QS). We were lucky enough that one of our group member's dad is a QS. So that meant that there will me less tension while we interviewed him. I was required to choose 10 questions to ask the QS. This specific task has reqiured me to look into what a QS does, granting me exposure on the topic. This has taught me to do independent research. During the interview, I had to listen very carefully to what the QS has to say. So for this part, I learnt to listen for key points and record it properly.
The second part of the project was to design and make a magazine. This has taught me more about how magazines are formed with layouts, fonts, colours and so on. Overall, I guess this project focuses on teaching us how to make a well organized magazine for when we are working for a company in the future.
