A Look into 2024 Taiwan International Student Design Competition’s Promotional Campaign – Malaysia Design Archive, Graphic Design Association of Malaysia wREGA and tDA Asia, May 6th

On May 6, 2024, the Taiwan International Student Design Competition (TISDC) led by project director Professor Apex Lin and project associate director Lecturer Miira Lin, along with the execution team, visited Malaysia. They met with Ezrena Marwan, the founder of the Malaysia Design Archive, and Melisa Wong, the president of the Graphic Design Association of Malaysia (wREGA).

During the meeting, there was fruitful discussion. Professor Apex Lin specifically noted the successful international promotion of the TISDC in Malaysia in recent years and expressed gratitude to Professor Siow Yin Yoong for recommending TISDC. Since last year, the number of submissions from Malaysia has exceeded 400, achieving excellent results.

On the day of promotion, the TISDC team also visited the Malaysia Design Archive, where founder Ezrena Marwan shared many brilliant graphic design collections with historical and cultural significance in Malaysia.

At the end of today’s schedule, Professor Apex Lin, Lecturer Miira Lin, and the TISDC team met with William Harald Wong, founder of tDA Asia, with whom TISDC has collaborated for many years. The most exciting news is that tDA Asia will continue to support TISDC this year and will remain one of the members of D21. In the future, they will continue to support TISDC’s promotion in Malaysia and actively assist in expanding TISDC’s promotional territory to Middle Eastern countries such as Dubai.

Finally, special thanks to Ms. Ezrena Marwan, founder of the Malaysia Design Archive, Ms. Melisa Wong, president of the Graphic Design Association of Malaysia (wREGA), William Harald Wong, founder of tDA Asia, and Professor Siow Yin Yoong for her assistance in arranging the visit.
