Something’s I learned was how
to better use programs like Photoshop and illustrator. I learned a lot more
about typography and how the type of font matters when making something. I also
learned how to communicate correctly to a client through talking with them 1 on
1.
I learned this by doing
tutorials and looking up how graphic designers communicate with their clients. My
teacher showed us some tutorials that we could follow when we started a
project.
These things are important
because it allows my technical skills when using the programs to be better.
Also talking to clients becomes easier having this prior experience. This will
also help me if I need to ever know how my client wants something done and I
can do it correctly.
My greatest strength is probably
being able to get my work done on time. Most of the time I am able to get my
project done correctly and turned in on time. My biggest weakness is probably
being able to come up with my own solid concrete idea. I have a hard time
coming up with an idea to do for something like the products we chose for the
packaging.
I am going to take what I have
learned and use it in everyday life. I plan on going into web design and that
requires very similar skills to graphic design. I need to be able to make my own
graphics and to be able to communicate with clients well.
I really enjoy doing graphic
design and I hope to be able to do more with it in the future.
