Reflection on Graphic Design Unit: Over the course of the graphic design unit I have learned to use the basic elements of photoshop and illustrator. Projects such as the Business Card and the Magazine Cover polished my skills in various ways. For example, the Business Card introduced the basic ideas of photoshop and illustrator such as rendering, highlighting objects etc. The Magazine Cover allowed me to improve upon my skills and add to the basic elements of photoshop. Certain Areas that I have to improve on in the Graphic Design unit is my design brief. Often my design brief is very vague (see the design brief of the Magazine Cover) which doesn’t give me a real life experience. Also, I often work of what I think is best instead of following the design brief which makes the point of a design brief useless in my case. So, in the next projects my goal is to come up with a nice and accurate design brief and follow it until the project is finished. I learned how to create a spotlight on an object. Overall, I am exceeding my own expectations in the Graphic Design unit and hope I could continue this progress.
