The main objective of organising this virtual exhibition was to expose and introduce the final year students to the industry. Thus, relevant industry professionals were invited to attend this virtual exhibition. The whole event was organised by students. They were led under the guidance of DMDA lecturers to ensure the smooth operation of the exhibition.

The Design Department and Production Department worked in tandem in designing and producing the merchandise: T-shirts and Touch ‘n Go card of R.E.M Exhibition for sale. This exhibition did not incur too much cost since it was a virtual event. Hence, all of the profits from the merchandise will be contributed to the UTAR Hospital. The Promotion Department utilised social media platforms to promote the sponsorship parties and information about the exhibition.

The R.E.M Final Year Project Virtual Exhibition concluded successfully with the efforts of the committee and the help of the supervisors. All the final year students’ projects will still be available on Behance even after the virtual exhibition. Everyone is welcomed to visit the R.E.M Final Year Project Virtual Exhibition to view the achievements of DMDA final year students, who had worked relentlessly for the past 21 weeks.
