This week has been one of the most enjoyable week for me, lots of topics and task suited my style and how i do art/design. From the first day i enjoyed the mark making we did, and out of just normal random mark making we turned them into something that had a meaning, such as typography. I realized how mark making can have its own style, e.g drawing figures with the non dominant hand or drawing with our eyes closed. The figures actually turned out to have its own unique style.
I learnt how graphics can connect into lots of other pathways and industries. Graphics design is needed in so many places such as packaging, advertising, posters etc. it can work with photographers, fashion too.
I learnt the variety of media that can be used, the computer generated styles like semi-gloss paper, Matt printing. Also using programs such as illustrator, Photoshop which i still yet to learn.
I experimented with wide range of colours, range of media including graphic tablets and types of paper. It was very different to what i have done before.
At the end of this week, my view on graphic design changed a little from what i expected, Graphic design have some elements of fine art too, and the amount of stages a piece of work can go through and be process till it being the final and polish final piece can take a long time. At the same time the process can be rather short. Another thing i learnt is that sometimes you have to fit the aim of the job, sometimes your designs may have to change due to the specification of the task. Meeting deadlines is something i learnt too, that they can be very short and being organised is important in the design industry.
