This past week marked the conclusion of our Same Difference posters. As I reflect on this project, I feel a sense of pride for the confidence that I have gained for the Adobe Software. I may not have the strongest software competency, but I finally see how graphic design can still implement all of the techniques that I love about painting and drawing such as creating shadows and highlights, utilizing color theory, illustrating, and layering. I also feel more comfortable beginning files and jumping right into planning out my grid since ARTS 245.
I have learned a great deal of lessons from this past semester in particular that I will use for creating my process book. One of those being that a strong beginning sketch is one of my greatest assets. The more I can plan out on paper as far as the foundation, the more confident I feel in building out my file. I can also scan these images in for reference. With the combination of pencil and mousepad, I could essentially bring any concept to life. For example, my favorite typographic artwork from this week's reading was Max Kisman's mind/machine project built on the idea that "an alphabet can be anything and anything can be an alphabet. Students created letter forms using faces, and the result was extremely lovable and eccentric.
More abstractly, I learned the importance of concept in graphic design. In my marketing classes, we always mention that a successful strategy is built on the clear positioning of a product and the value it serves to consumers. A brand must be clear and not confusing for customers to understand. Designs are the exact same way. They are creative solutions for conveying a concept, and everything must be clearly explainable and intentional from the color to the typeface.
