Even though it wasn't worth any points, I really enjoyed the challenge Professor Middleton gave us to revamp that crappy Valentine's Day poster. It reminded me how much I really enjoy graphic design.
When I get going on a project like that, I just have to keep going and going until I have it just how I want it. My fellow MComrades and I had it looking really good during our meeting, but once I got home, I just couldn't stop myself from adding a few things here and there. So there I was, with a million things on my to-do list, and how was I spending my time? Tweaking a project, that likely already exceeded expectations, that's worth nothing more than a shot at winning a mystery-treat.
Maybe I should change my major--or at least take a few graphic design electives.

Not only is graphic design intriguing, but it is what will actually get people ot pay attention to what you create. We are in an increasingly busy world and people don't have time to stop and read a poster that looks busy or difficult to understand. being able to simply convey the message in a way that is visually appealing is a skill that more people should develop.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a talent! Of the four advertisements using the same graphic, yours was the one we liked most! I personally voted for it because of the way you presented the information (important things larger and clean details at the bottom) as well as the color choices. Your group is lucky to have someone with a good eye for detail and design, use that strength in your presentations and they will be great!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great you love graphic design. You should see how to learn more or get into that major. Loving your job is so important. I thought this project was fun but I am not the best at graphic design.
