200 words isn’t enough
But to keep it short and sweet, the entire first semester has been a very enjoyable experience. It’s crazy to think that only 3 months ago I’ve made the move from Perth to start this course.
It’s very interesting to reflect back on the first week of class picking things out from our pockets to make letter forms, absolutely tearing my brain apart to now seeing letter forms literally everywhere I go lol. My objective coming into this course was to gain new skills and find new mind sets to approach design - I’ve checked this box 100%.
To be completely honest, every topic taught in this course by Andy and Karen has been new discoveries for me. Stand outs were the Bauhaus and Memphis group movement - these were design movements that I’ve always appreciated but never knew about until now.
I’ll definitely look back at this unit later down and appreciate everything that i’ve taken out from it, obviously a big part was learning how to code HTML webs but also the process of prototyping really resonated - I think it’s a great practice to incorporate irregardless of whether you work on digital format or not.
Looking at the way Andy and Karen taught this semester, it’s got me thinking about how I want to approach design. One thing that I really wish to focus on as I progress through this course is to keep the fun within what I create. I can see that in everything they do. They’re definitely some of the funniest and most charismatic people I’ve learnt from so thank you guys for the amazing semester and thank you to all the classmates and your inspiring work!
