And one just recently made the country really proud.

Awesome prizes and bragging rights

A local university graduate has won the Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) World Championship.

According to a report by New Straits Times, Danny Tse Wei Chun from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman beat 65,000 other contestants from all over the world to take the champion title.

The competition, which tests students' design skills using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InXDesign, was held online from 16 November to 18 November.

In the final round of the competition, all the finalists were given a period of six hours to come up with three marketing asset designs to be judged on including visual appeal, ability to meet the client's requirements, brand aesthetics, as well as their professional usage of Adobe Creative Cloud applications.

Tse, who is a digital animation graduate from UTAR Faculty of Creative Industries, was chosen as the winner among 51 finalists for delivering the message through digital illustrations for Limbitless Solutions, a US-based bionics manufacturer.

For his feat, Tse walked away with US$7,000 (RM28,800) cash prize together with a trophy and certificate.

UTAR's dean of Faculty of Creative Industries Dr David Tneh Cheng Eng said the university is very proud of Danny Tse's achievement in the Adobe World Championship.

"This win is a testament of his creative, digital, and problem-solving skills. Tse has always been a proactive student and he was also the founder of the Media & Digital Animation Society," he said.

Congratulations, Tse!
