Six weeks short reflection:
This semester is a third of the way through now. Post a bit about your thoughts on what you've done so far. Post the answers to these questions on your blog.
- Do you feel this six weeks was successful for you? Why or why not? How did your work ethic affect this?
-I do think this six weeks was successful to me, because i actually learned how to do more stuff and it helped me have a little bit more of experience with both illustrator and photoshop for my main projects. My work ethic did effect effected this a little bit... In class ive been working like this since the beggining of the school year this is why i cant really tell the difference but i do know that somehow it did effect it in a good and bad way...
- Of the two major projects we worked on this six weeks (typography & game design), which did you prefer? Tell me about your thoughts on why.
- Of the 2 projects we worked on this six weeks i liked typography the most because since i like art the most that was something i could enjoy. Even though it was a little bit of hard work i managed to get through with it with a positive attitude.
- For both of these projects, you were able to choose which software you wanted to use. What did you work most in? Why did you choose this software? Was this choice based on what you preferred to use, or what you thought would work best on this project? After completing it, do you think you'd use the same software if you could go back and begin it again?
- For the typography i used photoshop because it had layers and it had some effects that could help me disort my text, warp and do many more things. And for my game design project i used illustrator because i was familiar with using the shapes and for this i really didnt neeed layers or effects on my text. But i still dislike something about both of the softwares. In photshop many layers accumulate and its harder to find something when you have a combination of many things. In illustrator idont like how it doesnt have a paint bucket to paint your background. Also it doesnt have effects on the text like photoshop. If i were to go back i thing i would try to channge to photoshop and find tutorials for making shapes on photoshop.
- -What is something you've done or learned this six weeks that you think you may be able to use beyond this class and how?
- Something i learned this six weeks is the effect that typography can produce. I learned that its way more than just words. Artist use typography to explain feelings toward a subject that was something that impacted me and once you look beyond the picture therre are more things than just words, similar to a painting...
