Week 5 - 15/Feb
Feeling: long lecture today~
The main topic of the class today is basically talking about the levels of visual messages. After all the explanations, I have concluded the definitions of those levels in a simple way...
Lv.1 Representation: basically representing something visually
Lv.2 Symbolism: representing something in a simplified way
Lv.3 Abstraction: representing the significance of something in a more simplified way
As a CD student, we often create visual messages in graphic way, I found this lecture very useful and meaning. Level 1 should be easy to achieve for not only CD students, but also for most people, it is the basic to represent something (like an object), for example by simply sketching and drawing it out. Currently I believe I could only reach level 2, I love doing graphic works like logo designs, I believe my ability is more than just representing something with my work, I inserted more meaning to it instead. Now, level 3 will be my goal for the following time, wish I could achieve this level soon in the future, I believe achieving that will equip me well for being a graphic designer one day.
