Favorite Protects
My favorite graphics project we did this semester was probably logo design. for this assignment we were tasked with creating five different logos in several different color combinations. This project took about two and a half weeks counting sketching our logos. One challenge I faced was when using the pen tool it created a lot of jagged edges that needed a lot of fine tuning. Some skills I gained from this project are color coordination and overall improvement with the pen tool. My table partner Connor gave me a lot of feedback on this project relating to small details. My final logos look pretty different from my original sketches because when I started using illustrator I realized some of my sketches weren't viable. Overall I really enjoyed this project because I actually may be able to use some of my logos in the feature.
Another project I really liked was getting to create a infographic. In tis project we had to create an infographic about anything we wanted using our own original graphics. This project took about a month starting in the first quarter and ending in the second. One big challenge I faced was creating all thirteen graphics in a limited amount of time, but I was able to manage my time and stay on task in order to get it done. I learned a lot about the pen tool and tracing from this project. Mrs Beaudoin gave me a lot of feedback on the formatting for my infographic which helped a lot. I changed how my infographic was going to be set up because as I created my graphics I realized my original design wasn't going to work as well as I thought. Overall I am really proud of the final product but I wish I could go back and change some small details.
The event adverting project is also one of my favorite things we did this semester. For this assignment I created a concert poster, post card, and a ticket. This took about three weeks to complete. One big challenge I faced was transferring all of my photoshop work back into illustrator. I learned that it is just easier to do all of your work in program instead of having to transfer it back and forth. My classmates gave me a lot of feedback on detail oriented things. My ideas kept changing on how I wanted it all to look throughout the project but I eventually settled on a design. In the end I thought my poster turned out ok but I still think it could be a lot better.
Time Management
I rarely had extra time in this class but when I did I used it to update my behance profile and move files to the sever. I would sometimes look up photoshop tutorials if I had time in order to improve my skills. I usually was very harsh on my own work and used any extra time to go back and fix little things that bothered me. If I was confused about something i would use my out of class time to research what was giving me a hard time and how to fix it.
Strengths
One of my biggest strengths in Ecomm is collaboration. I get along with all of my classmates and am able to work efficiently with others in order to get work done. I would also consider time and project management one of my strengths because I was able to get all of my work done on time and had zero late assignments this semester.
Areas Of Improvement
I think my technical skills could use some improving. I would like to learn more about the tools and software we are using such as illustrator and photoshop. I could do this by watching tutorials in my free time or doing independent projects. I would also like to take on more leadership roles in Ecomm next year in order to improve my Leadership skills.
Conclusion
My favorite part about graphic design this semester was the amount of creative freedom we were given. I honesty change anything about my experience in the class I thought it was taught very well. One goal I would like to set for next year is again to take on more leadership intensive roles. Overall I had a really fun time in graphic design this semester and feel like I leaned a lot. Even though I am taking entertainment next year this class definitely sparked my interest in graphic design.
