Visual Communication Through Freehand Training (VCTF)

Last week, I was informed by my friend from MCKK, Amirul Iskandar, that he and Dr. Ruzaimi would be coming to UTM to conduct the Visual Communication Through Freehand (VCTF) training. Unfortunately, yesterday was completely occupied. Alhamdulillah, today I had a relatively free schedule, allowing me to focus on other pending tasks without any meetings.

After lunch, I stopped by Masjid Sultan Ismail to perform the Zuhur prayer, where I unexpectedly met Amirul and Nazri Rusli. Following our prayers, we walked together to the training room at FABU, where the VCTF training was being held for UTM’s non-academic officers.

I took the opportunity to sit in and re-immerse myself in the session. Even though I had attended this training previously in May 2024, I still found it highly insightful and inspiring. The session emphasized the power of visual communication and sketching as a universal language — a truly valuable skill in academic and professional settings alike.

I was also delighted to learn that Dr. Ruzaimi and Amirul have recently published a book on VCTF titled Profits from Visuals. From what I saw, it’s an impressive and one-of-a-kind publication — informative, creative, and absolutely engaging. Congratulations to both of them on this remarkable achievement! I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in improving their visual communication skills.
