Self Evaluation

  • What have you learned?
I've learned a lot about new programs and how to use them. I've been really fixated on Photoshop and doing a bit of InDesign is really nice to learn, so I have more options for programs in the future. I also learned more in depth about the principles of design and how to incorporate them into design pieces to make them stronger.
  • What have you struggled with?
Learning the new programs and striving away from Photoshop because I'm so familiar with it.
  • What are you proud of? What are your strengths?
I'm proud of my design capabilities. I think I know what really works together and how to have meaning to my pieces. I'm mostly proud of my principle of design posters, and how they all come across different but has an element that ties them all in together. My strong suit is being able to communicate with the reader and show a pretty good design.
  • What goals do you have/ what do you want to learn in Term 2?
Get comfortable with Illustrator but still be able to do Photoshop. I would like to possibly do a series of posters relating to WW1 or WW2 for Remembrance Day or for a personal series.

  • What mark do you think you deserve? Explain why.
I think I deserve around 86% - 93%. I've really tried hard in this class when it comes to pushing designs, but still sometimes need a little work with them. I also get things done on time and tweak when I have time to do so. My designs could be a little more complex but I personally like simplicity, but I can always learn to push that if I need to! 
  • How could you improve?
Get more complex with some designs and push boundaries.

Ted Talk: Rory Sutherland

The shreddies branding is genius (diamond shape) people actually believed this marketing technique. Phones are possibly the most innovative piece of modern technology (with location etc)  You knew perception was a huge part of marketing and an equally significant factor in generating sales. proven fact that cheap, undervalued products can be completely revamped through developing a new perception around it.  all value is subjective, BUT an intangible change can be just as satisfying as a physical change.  Frederick realized the farmers would rather be jailed than forced to grow potatoes. So he took a new approach, and decided to re brand the potato – changing its perceived value. He declared that potatoes were only for the royal grew them in his garden, protected around the clock by his guards.  “When you place a value on things like health and love and learn to place a material value on what you’ve previously discounted for being merely intang...

Final Design challenge project

Link to project : https://drive.google.com/open?id=10NIxK2jaSpRHvWIdBsN-DjuPGU2B5b77 ( Fury ending credit remake ) The quality is not as great since I didn't save it to the highest quality due to time. process: ( it's hard to show progress through film editing, I thought it would be easier to show a tutorial at the end. )  I first began this project with making a separate font in Photoshop (the tutorial is in my other reflection) After uploading WWII footage from youtube (downloading through mp3 converter) I added a red and black colour gradient using a sequence, allowing all of the footage to be edited at once. I then did some fine tuning with certain clips, reversing, speeding them up etc by right clicking on each specific clip and personally changing each. Then, I added title cards. I referenced the Fury title sequence using http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/fury/ ( 10/10 useful for reference and describing the sequence.) Soon, i then dragged my Photoshop 'FUR...

Semester Review

How was your progress?:  I thought my progress was good, I had a good understanding of design before this class because i wanted to be a graphic designer beforehand. I learned a lot about more of the technical side and ways of conveying different designs.  What are your strengths? What did you struggle with?:  I believe my strength mainly is executing clean designs that do looks nice, however, I know i do worth fast but this has never been a problem for me. I still am satisfied with my worth even when I'm working with speed, I'm just like that but that can been seen as a struggle. Also linking HTML pages through computer links, that made me give up a bit since I'm used to linking real webpages from websites. I struggled with recording my progress too. What project was your favorite and why?:  I really liked and enjoyed the final project. It really gave me free roam to do anything I wanted and work on my future career within this class but with a different ...
