- What did you learn?
This project was really interesting especially having to be my first one it did teach me patience . Basically , the only way to work and better create a story using different items such as a star symbol , sphere , or even rectangle or triangle it all requires patience. I was able to also learn how to become self tough especially since this is an online course so everything is basically on me.
- What was easy?
The easy part of this project was just dragging the shapes and trying to turn them into an art work . Copy and past was also easy and a great was to make sure that I duplicate my shapes in order to create an identical image .
- What was challenging?
What was challenging to be honest was coming up with the sketches and trying to find a better way to tell the story through images on my own.
- How could your submission be improved?
My submission has a lot to improve honestly , especially with it being my first time learning about the gestalt principles . Next time ,is to make sure that I understand the basics steps on how to create a more compelling story , and making sure that it being that meaning to it so that the audiences can follow up with no issues.
- How could I improve the assignment for the next class?
I could improve my submission well by basically asking questions and attending some zoom meeting . It is hard to attend them due to work schedule and so on but I will be able to that next time .
My submission can be improved by practicing more and more and also being able to ask more questions when I am stuck at some point.
How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
The professor can improve the assignment by adding a folder that includes all of the class videos and instructions in regards to that one project. I did have some trouble finding some folders on D2L. Otherwise, I enjoy the class and the class materials are well explained.
- How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
I enjoy learning more about graphic design as a photographer, a videographer and even me being able to learn how to create logos and more ; I can use that knowledge to better understand on how to create a story using gestalt principles .
- How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
I was able to look at the reading “Gestalt principles applied in design” by William Craig . The reading was straight forward with the clarification of all the 6 important principles of gestalt such as proximity , similarity , pregnant , symmetry , common fate and even closure. It did also have some clear and understandable examples of design that he was able to do to better explain the design process.
