"I have always been highly creative and Whitecliffe opened a window to all the creative fields for me to pick and choose from," says Mediaworks motion graphics designer Rodney Quach.
Initially Rodney channelled his creativity into cooking but would also sketch portraits of regular patrons at the bar where he worked. His boss was so impressed he set up a wall for the portraits.
Rodney majored in Graphic Design, focusing on motion graphics in his Year Four.
He says the ability to apply graphic design knowledge to motion has set him apart in the workplace.
Rodney's skill set was quickly acknowledged. He had a job lined up as motion graphic designer at Eyeworks, formerly Touchdown TV, before he'd completed his degree. He was there most of 2012 and was then recommended to Mediaworks by a former Touchdown designer.
Rodney says undertaking a fine arts degree not only taught him the importance of working hard and taking on challenges, it also gave him a different focus.
