REFLECTION:
Experience:The tasks we did were: designing words, designing covers, designing fonts, designing posters, from the initial use of ai and id, to mixing them, it was an interesting process, when designing dynamic words, I think the interesting step is to design the changes in line with the meaning of the word, this is a great test of the imagination of the design, the same way I feel that it came out very well, but the same way, I often suffer from I often get anxious when I run out of inspiration, and then late at night I get a sudden burst of inspiration, and the excitement and anticipation of conceptualising the idea is also impressive.Technical challenges such as difficulties in operating the software, working through technical details, and constantly learning new techniques and tools.
Observations:I always have unexpected sources of inspiration in design, for example, when I shop in shopping malls, I see a lot of designs unintentionally, such as a TYPO shop in Sunway Pyramid, which has a lot of wonderful small objects, the design possibilities in simple things are also amazing, such as the patterns on the cups in the shop, notebook cover designs, a pen has a different design, the technical level: the unexpected use of tools The teacher will often give you the basics of how to use a tool, but in practice, you will be able to discover other ways of using it.
Findings:I am very grateful for these weeks of learning, my way of thinking has been upgraded, aesthetic ability has been improved, the process of practice is also a creative thinking training, I quickly learnt new tools and improved my ability to solve complex problems, the joy of creation is extraordinary, the ability to find beauty is valuable, I firmly believe in the concept of changing the world by design!
