Graphic Design Reflection

This semester in Graphic design I furthered my education in Adobe Illustrator. I also Learned new things in Photoshop. I learned how to create new patterns, for example a mandala pattern. Another thing I learned how to create was a carton and 3D revolve.  The team carton project was a fairly simple project but it took a lot of planning and project management. I needed advanced technical skills to create the 3D revolve and carton.

I learned how to do those projects through tutorials I found on youtube or through presentations Ms. Lofquist gave us. However I learned better from the tutorials because I could go at my own pace. But if I didn't understand something I would ask the people around for help. In this class I was constantly collaborating with the people around me.

Graphic Design is important because the visual arts are starting to become more influential in our world. Since it is becoming more influential it is important to have the skills in graphic design. Another reason it is important is because it teaches you how to work with others and project management because we are assigned new projects every week even if we aren't done with the previous one. This graphic design class teaches you to be organized. 

As a result of taking graphic design I have acquired great strengths. My strengths include leadership, collaboration,and creating patterns in Adobe.  I gained these strengths through constant use and practice. However, I also have weaknesses. My weaknesses include project management and technical skills. Project management was hard for me this year because we were given new assignments on top of each other.

From the beginning of this semester I have improved dramatically. My skills in photoshop have improved because I can now create cartoons and color splash. My skills in Illustrator have also improved too.

I can now use what I have learned in illustrator and in photoshop to create awesome designs. These skills will help me create a portfolio for senior and junior year. It will also set me apart from other other employees because I will have special design skills.

I would not change anything. I think I had a very successful year in graphic design I learned a lot of new things and made new friends.

1st Semester Reflection

This year I gained many strengths. Some of my strengths include project management, cooperation, and leadership. I have strong project management because I get my assignments done on time and they are quality packages. My cooperation skills are strong too because I communicate well with Haley and calm her down when she's stressed out. I have great leadership skills because I can lead people without being bossy. Also my leadership skills have helped me finish my work on time and work well with others. However, I have a few weaknesses like staying on task and being proactive. My plan to become more proactive is by helping out with more things after school and helping set up the broadcast. I will also sit in on the game day broadcasts and learn how to work the equipment. I will stay on task by working on my portfolio and my blogs. Overall this semester was very successful. I learned how to work well with others and what it takes to be a strong leader. I also learned how to be a go...

Saul Bass Poster

This is my own Saul Bass based poster. I decided to create my poster using Snow White. For this project you need to have 2-3 elements and 2-3 other colors beside black and white. Though out  creating this picture I learned how to image trace and create a silhouette. In my poster the 2 elements I'm using are snow white and the apple. I chose those 2 elements because they are pretty important to the movie. The reason I chose red was because it balanced the white and the black.
