2.9.1 Methodology phases
In the development of this website there are four phases. This methodology consists of
four phases which are planning, analysis, design and implementation.
Planning
Analysis Analysis
Implementation
a) Planning phase
This is the initial phase in developing a website EEPD. At the beginning of
this phase, supervisors contribute ideas on how to develop a successful
website that can reach EEPD. The website also discusses the theme and
layout of each site as well as content that can attract customers to view this
website. Platform is also discussed and decided. A user requirement is
defined. Moreover, the costs involved, such as hardware and software are
also discussed during this phase. In addition, as design role in the search for
ideas and information on this organization needs to be more detailed. In this
phase, the supervisor agrees with the name of the website, EEPD as the final
project. This study was conducted to understand website development. In
addition, research on other websites concerned with executive program is
also searched to make a comparison. Supervisors agreed with the scope and
objectives of the system.

b) Analysis phase
In this phase, The group that lead with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hisham Dzakaria
find as much information about the Executive website, where needed to
analyze the needs of customers on a web site that would be developed. As a
designer need to study the level of achievement of a website, for example
Wharton Executive Education and Executive Development Program OYA
UUM COB (EDP OYA UUM COB), where the submission of information
presented to the public user and staff. A designer also need find advantages
and disadvantages of the site studied. By making comparison of different
websites will know the pros and cons of each website. Selection of free
websites are evaluated and analyzed, and compared with other sites. Among
the free websites are DoodleKit, ImCreator, Simplesite, Weebly, WebStart
and Hostinger. (Refer Appendix A).

In the design phase, in determining how this website is running well in terms
of processes, tools, information, user interface and other factors are
emphasized in the process of development of the site. EEPD decided to
develop a website using a purchased website which is Joomla! that
purchased by UUMIT. The information website is developed for public in
accessing the website of this organization. A designer also need to storage
for uploading and saving all the images in this website. This website also
provides six menus on the website which are Home, Our Profile, Executive

2.11.1 Weaknesses
For a weaknesses there are two difficult things during develop the project.
a) Work assignments
Given work beyond the stipulated time, had to be ready at any time
to complete the work that will be given. This is because user is
priority and cannot be avoided. In addition, a practical project that
has been assigned must be completed or else need to be postponed
because of other coming jobs.
2.11.2 Recommendation
The recommendations should:
2.12 Summary
Website is one of the most useful elements of any company. They will give many benefits
only if they are properly designed, implemented and does not focus excessively on
administrative functions that can turn it into a bureaucratic organization. EEPD needs to
maintain the credibility of the system and its own advantages. Overall, it is easier and more
comfortable to promote and introduce EEPD using its very own website.
14
CHAPTER 3: OVERALL EXPERIENCE
This chapter will describe all the overall experience during practicum such as introduction,
other assignment in the organization, practicum problem, practicum effectiveness,
practicum objective achievement, learning outcome during practicum, recommendation and
suggestion and summary.
3.1 Introduction
This chapter explains about all things that have been learned in Administration and Finance
Office UUM CAS during the practical period. Industrial training program has provided
many benefits as well as unexpected experiences. In addition, a designer has also acquired
knowledge and skills in designing. During stayed here there are disadvantages and
advantages in handling a transaction. Advantages and disadvantages are highlighted in this
business both physically and mentally. This is a challenge for me to face the tasks
undertaken.
The first thing learns is relating to time. Time management will determine
everything in the arena of life as an employee in the future. Failure to adjust with time is an
indicator of discipline. Other than technical intelligence, soft skills and scientific are also
indispensable and important, especially in the future career after this, so can be prepared
mentally and physically.
When first entered this organization, the task was given, which are to design AHGS
UUM CAS website, UUM CAS website, EEPD logo, brochure, banner, poster, paper bag,
notepad and business cards. After a few weeks, assigned to focus more on designing
AHSGS UUM CAS website, UUM CAS website, because both website need to update and
there are a lot things need change. Besides, need to handle design a banner, poster, and
brochure for upcoming programs.
In six months internship at Administration and Finance Office UUM CAS, a lot of
experience faced. Instead of doing main project which information website. As design
15
assigned and expose to visual information such as design brochure, poster, business card
and banner. Additional assigned to design a paper bag, presentation folder, EEPD logo and
notepad for upcoming programs.
a) Paper Bag
Figure 3.1 shows a paper bag design. As a designer at Administration and
Finance Office UUM CAS that assigned to design a paper bag for EEPD
programs. The tools used such Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Photoshop
CS6.
b) Presentation Folder
Figure 3.2 shows a presentation folder design. At the same time assigned to
design a presentation folder for EEPD programs. Actually, presentation
folder is a kind of folder that holds loose paper or documents together or
organization and protection. Presentation folders usually consist of a sheet
of heavy paper stock or thin, but stiff, material which is folded in half with
16
pockets in order to keep paper documents. Presentation folders function
much like that of a file folder for organizational purposes they can be either
printed or plain and can be used amongst other things, as a tool for business
presentations to customers to aid in the sales process.
c) Notepad
Notepad is a stationary that really important for people to write all the
highlight things such as appointment date, keywords and so on. As a
designer at Administration and Finance Office UUM CAS the manager of
EEPD asked to design a notepad for EEPD programs that shows on figure
3.3.
17
d) Logo
e) Business Card
Figure 3.5 shows EEPD business card. Business cards are cards bearing
business information about a company or individuals. That shared during
formal introductions as a convenience and memory aid.
18
A business card typically includes the giver’s name, company or business
affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street
addresses, telephone number, fax number, e-mail and website.
f) Brochure
19
g) E-cards
Figure 3.7 show a greeting card for Vice Chancellor UUM. An E-card is similar
to a postcard or greeting card, with the primary difference being that it is created
using digital media instead of paper or other traditional materials. E-cards are
made available by publishers usually on various internet sites, when they are
can be sent to a recipient, usually via e-mail. During the internships the designer
also assigned to design E-card for any celebrations and someone are move up.
h) Banner
21
Figure 3.9: i-RIA pop-up under banner
Figure 3.8 show streamer banners during i-RIA 2015 and figure 3.9 show a
pop-up under banner. The tools used such as Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe
Photoshop CS6.
During the practical, problem faced is the skill and time. This is because most employers
thought as multimedia student; trainee must be proficient in the skills of designing and able
to prepare a design within the prescribed period. However, only have basic design skills
using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. To be a professional designer, need to learn
more about the field of design. With hard work and guidance from the supervisor of the
organization, will able to achieve and perform good work and continue to improve the
weaknesses.
In addition, during develop the project some sort of problem faced which provides
for the EEPD website. Initially planned to develop a website that has a database for easy
data storage and the level of security EEPD. It turned out that supervisor just wants a
simple website that can be easily understood by user.
22
3.4 Practicum Effectiveness
Industrial training is a platform for students to gain experience and feel the real situation in
the working world. Training and guidance assist students in performing tasks and gain
work experience. The effectiveness of this training are:
a) Self Discipline
Students learn how to discipline themselves with the working environment.
Example: Punctual in work and assignments according to the given time. Most
importantly, do not interfere work issues with personal problems.
c) Responsibilities as an employee
Punctual in the works and comply with all rules provided and work in an ethical
environment
d) Competitive
Assist students in an effort to solve problem and try to get something in doing the
work. Learn to improve various skills to succeed.
At the end of the industrial training, trainees will gain experience and knowledge about the
working environment. This is because, the coach will be involved with the activities or
affairs of the organization held by the organization. Candidates will also be more motivated
to work because most organizations work as a team. This will enhance team spirit and
23
strengthen ties between employees. Therefore, the objective can be achieved if a coach has
a good relationship and attitude to cooperate with each other in the organization.
A few months here taught many skills, including how to enhancing skills in designing a
design. With software like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator helped a lot in terms of
knowledge to design and make more curious to explore and learn. In addition, with the sites
developed, this will give more work in controlling the EEPD website.
a) Allowances
The Company should be sensitive to the student’s welfare because it can reduce the
student’s burden during the practical. The company should provide an adequate
allowance for students in terms of cost of living and daily expenses.
b) Security
Provide room or house to rent near the industrial training workplace to guarantee
the safety of the students. Enable students to get to work safely, thus avoid any
unwanted things such as kidnapping, rape and so on.
c) Courses
Providing special programs or training to improve the skills of the students. Help
students becoming more open-minded, motivated and foresight, whether career
courses are related to their business.
24
3.8 Summary
The conclusion of this chapter is that the experience of going through a lot of training
provides a variety of benefits and positive things as well as advantages in polishing existing
skills. Good input from the proliferation of knowledge capable of making students try to
show their skills and be free to compete in today's modern world. It can also stimulate
positive thinking and open mind in doing the job and willing to take risks. Experience
gained during the industrial training is an important guide and useful to students for the
working world in the future.
25
CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, this industrial training helps a lot and opens the eyes about the
employment sector. It is because we were given clear disclosure about the working world
in order to produce a generation who are thoughtful and have ideas on self-improvement.
Various aspects are taken into account, such as physical and mental endurance, power in
meeting the challenges of the job. Through our industrial training, new things were learned
that help us to be more prepared for jobs to come. This includes creative and innovative
thinking, effective discharge of its duties, improve personal skills and successful
communication in work.
Students become more confident and skilled to deal with tasks and can implement
them successfully. Indirectly, it improved student achievement and give them confidence in
any field of endeavor career. This is because students do not have experience in work
situation. Thus, industrial training helps students adapt in employment world.
