Graphic Design Final

     

Nature Man

       One of the first projects we did was the nature man. We took a stock image of a man and turned it into our own design. There were many challenges many of us faces since we were still so new to photoshop. Being the first project we learned a lot about photoshop but it did take awhile compared to the amount of work completed in the short amount of time. Some feedback Was given was to try and use more of the new things we were learning like all the filters and different effects. I took that suggestion and I added some of new effects and things we learned earlier to my project. Overall I'm proud of this for it being my first project.

   Color Paint 

       For the color paint project we took projects from the paste and but them onto a background we painted. This projects took a few weeks due to the multiple steps it required. Some challenges I faced is when I got hodge podge on the back of my project. I learned the usefulness of hodge podge because I didn't;t know it could be used to essentially print an image. I was given good feed back over my project because I am an artist. Overall this is one my my favorite projects.

 Infographic

The info graphic project has been our most in depth one to date. We are making an info graphic off of a topic of our choosing. It has taken us around a month so far and we will have more time to work on it after break. I have learned a lot while doing this inforgraphic. It is also fun to use all of our skills we have acquired to make a final project. Overall I feel like this has been a good project so far.

Using time in class

       I feel like overall I have done a good job of using my time productively. There has been cases though where I have but talking over getting my work done and end up having to do it at home, like right now. I feel like I am pretty good at Photoshop and that is one of my strengths as a graphic designer. I also feel like one of my weaknesses is Illustrator because I hadn't used it before this year.

Overall

      Overall I feel like this has been a good year. I have learned a lot and look forward to contiuing to learn next semester. One thing I would like to see more of is us learning things through the teacher and not just watching videos because with all the technical difficulties of everyone being on the same server it can lead to people getting very far behind. One of my goals for next year just to enahcne my skills as a graphic designer even more.
