A student at Universitas Widyatama (UTama), Bandung, Friska Febriyanti Wijaya, on Tuesday evening (August 18th) won the Best Presentation Award AICAD INDDEX 2021 at an international academic competition, through her paper entitled: Concetual Artbook Design of the Novel “Negeri di Ujung Tanduk” by author Tere Liye.
The student of the Graphic Design study program at the Faculty of Visual Communication Design (DKV) UTama was one of six students from the university who participated in the individual group competition, while another participant consisting of three people participated in the group category competition held online by UiTM Perak University, Malaysia.
The Dean of the Faculty of Visual Communication Design (DKV) UTama, Deden Maulana, said on Thursday (19/08) that Friska Febriyanti’s success is proof that every DKV UTama student’s work has the same opportunity to showcase their best prototypes.
