Throughout the time I spent in Graphics this year, I’ve learned a lot. For example, I learned how to use 3 very complicated networks: Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator. I don’t think I have a personal style at this point in time, but I hope to develop my own individual technique. Many things inspired me from my family to my classroom and even my teacher, Mrs. Dayton!
As you can see from my portfolio, what inspires, or how I feel at that point in time, me shows in my designs. I can be very original and imaginative at times and I do have some strengths and weaknesses. A couple of my weaknesses is that it takes me a while to come up with an idea to start me off, but once I get started everything is great, and I’m noot very good at drawing or creating things very well. One of my strengths is that I’m good with color and photography. I find drawing very challenging because I feel it takes a lot more creativity than just taking a photo and with photography, I feel it’s easier because when you look through the lens everything is clearer. I got the most knowledge using Illustrator because there is so much you can do to a design in that one program. I would like to work more in Photoshop because I love putting pictures together to create something new. I used to be a huge procrastinator, but being in this class has taught me to do my work as fast as possible and I end up getting a better grade than I would have if I procrastinated. I hope to keep this work ethic throughout my future.
Graphic Design has taught me a lot not only about creativity, but also about the computer, work ethic, and thinking out of the box. I hope to stay in Graphic Design throughout high school and carry the things I learn here all through my life.
