RINTIS is the abbreviation for Research Innovation Towards Integration and Sustainability which was initiated by Assoc. Prof. Hasnul J Saidon in 2004 as an annual final year projects exhibition that features the three design departments in the School of The Arts, USM. The departments involved are Graphic Communication, New Media Design and Technology, and Product Design. RINTIS is the epilogue of the understudies' endeavours before graduation, permitting them to feature their creative works for conceivable commercialization. It likewise fills in as a pathway for the students to debut into the industry.

This year’s RINTIS exhibition, "The Shape of Transformation," celebrates the powerful synergy between art, industry, and digital evolution. Moving beyond traditional boundaries, the showcase highlights the fusion of functionality and creative fluidity.

Drawing from this vision, a talented group of final-year students presents 112 innovative projects that span three distinct but intersecting fields:

  • New Media (+): Pushing the limits of digital interaction and technology.

  • Graphic Communication (×): Crafting visual identities and impactful storytelling.

  • Product Design (=): Solving real-world problems through form and utility.
