Reflection - overall course
Throughout all the lectures and tutorials in this semester, I have learnt a lot new things about design from historical, now, and future. All these have developed my skills and gain a new knowledges about design world. I had done a lot of visual communication design works before in high school and foundation, but I never have gone a deeper understanding of design theories and movements, how design affect in society, what design do for us. All the lectures were very interesting for me which there were also some workshop for us to help us get more deeper understanding of the topics.
My favourite project in this semester was creating a zine (Ask me Anything), as I never done a published design before. Even though, the process was difficult and I stuck on creating a questions and arranging the layout, but I really enjoy the process. This course also helped me to improve my skills on using illustrator, photoshop and indesign. Moreover, I have learnt how to consider a layout to fit with the topic and build an aesthetic design.
The transition from face-to-face to online class was the most difficult part for me. I felt very awkward in the beginning of few weeks. I couldn’t believe that I have to spend for whole semester in-front of my computer for classes. For design class, I felt that its better for me to do in class as I can ask the teacher directly and shows the physical design works which I don’t need to upload my work in laptop or send through email. But fortunately, It all went successfully for the whole semester. Through online, I could still get feedbacks from teacher and my classmates and got discussed together.
Overall, I really had a great experience and I can’t believe time gone so fast that this already the end of the semester. I’m also very thankful to my teacher, Ben and my lecturers, Andy and Karen for their effort in this course. I hope that I will apply all my knowledges and skills in the future in my study and career.
