Lab 1: More Gestalt

I’m currently way from my usual two-monitor set up and operating on a slightly outdated Lenovo. This DMA thing is really, really hard without two screens, not to mention I’m working with half the RAM I’m used to and a terrible LCD screen (I can’t even play Apex!). But, as they say in the pharmaceutical industry, the show must go on.

I don’t think they say that in the pharmaceutical industry.

That said, I’m really starting to enjoy Figma, especially as a lightweight, less resource-intensive alternative to Illustrator while I’m away from the battle station. Learning about the concepts of Gestalt design is also very interesting. I’m noticing a lot of the concepts we’re being taught are ideas I recognize in things I like but never had a name for or even necessarily recognized as deliberate.
