FINAL REFLECTION
What have I learnt in this module?
First of all, in this module, I definitely learned about Design
Principles. Before this, I had heard of some Design Principles in
Photography, like the Rule of Thirds, but in this module, I learned so
much more! The experience made me feel, "Wow! I can actually use so many
Design Principles in my designs and artwork!" Hahaha, it makes me think
that I should have taken this module earlier so I could have made my
artwork look better and more refined.
What did I enjoy the most?
What I enjoyed the most in this module was recording all my progress in
blogs. This gave me a sense of achievement. I also liked the step-by-step
process because the final outcome was so satisfying. I especially enjoyed
thinking about which Design Principles to use in my design work, it made me
feel like I had so many possibilities! Instead of making rigid designs, I
realized I could explore many different ideas.
What did I not enjoy the most?
I think it would be Task 3… because in Task 2, I sketched a design that I
really liked and wanted it to be like. However, Task 3 required me to
develop that design further. When I looked at the module booklet, I was
like, "Oh nooo!" I had no idea how to develop my Task 2 design. Maybe I was
too stuck on my original idea. But then, I re-read the module booklet and
saw that Task 3 required "Develop it through color exploration, composition,
typeface, positioning, etc., with Design Principles in mind." So, I tried to
explore and do research. I realized that I could develop my design in a
different way by applying the Design Principles I had learned. With Dr.
Jinchi’s suggestions, I gradually came up with a new idea!
What have I learnt about myself through this module?
As I mentioned earlier, this experience taught me not to limit my ideas,
there are so many possibilities! I tend to get stuck in one way of thinking,
but through this module, I learned something really important that changed
me: "Everything has its own possibilities. Don't just stick to one idea!" I
am so grateful for this meaningful experience.
What has changed and what has not in my learning journey?
What has changed is my way of thinking about design. Learning about Design
Principles made me feel so inspired! What has not changed, though, is my
illustration skills. I am really grateful to have learned Design Principles
because they have enriched my sense of art and given me an eye-opening
experience. However, my illustration skills still have room for improvement,
and I hope to keep improving over time.
What are my aspirations?
In this course, Design of Creative Media, as the name, it really requires a
lot of creativity! I want to keep Design Principles in mind in all my future
design and artwork. Also, I will remind myself "Don’t lock my thoughts and
ideas!" This course truly requires creativity, so I should do whatever
inspires me and just enjoy the process!
