REFLECTION

This week I learned the details of Graphic Design's principle which consists of contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity respectively. We were given several pictures and has to judge whether the design using these 5 elements or not and i am still analyzing and learning more about these principles of graphic design. I also learned several important knowledge about color, alignment, repetition on design. Beside, I also catch several important points this week, first in every design that we make, there should always be a message behind it so that the audience will not just see the artwork as an "art work" but also as something that has a value and story. Secondly, I also learned that white space is really important because the audience needs a space for their eyes to get a rest, so do not design something overloaded. Thirdly, always do everything attractively, try to be careful and detail while creating something. Hence, I have learned so many things this week that is very useful for me to create a good illustration and design, and always remember to include all the elements that has been taught to me.

REFLECTION

                         
This week was really challenging because we were given a task to find several pictures and illustrations without taking it frointernet. So I have to buy several magazines, borrowed my design friends' work and took lots of brochures from anywhere. The hardest part was to find the vector illustration because I did not have a clear idea about vector design and I was struggling for 2 days but then I did a research to find out more about vector design and finally I could pick 3 best vector illustrations (in my perspective).  This assignment gives me a clear idea about caricature, poster design, technical drawing, hand paintings, etc. I really had a great time observing all the artworks especially about the technical drawing because I have always felt curious about how these advanced complex masterpieces created and it obtains my knowledge about the design industry and I really want to explore and learn more about it all.
