My second favorite project was the logo project. This project took me about a week to complete. I had some trouble coming up with enough logo design ideas to meet the requirements. I learned more about color schemes. I didn't get feedback on this project. I think I stayed very close to my original idea. I am very proud of how my logos came out, and I can't choose a favorite.
My third favorite project was the concert project. This project took about 2 weeks to complete. I was challenged by the time constraints. I learned how to format a ticket. I didn't receive much feedback on this project. I stayed close to my original idea. I think it turned out okay, but it could have been better.
I think, on average, I stayed pretty on-task during second semester. I watched tutorial videos to improve my technical skills in my free time. I critiqued my projects before turning them in, and usually found ways that I could have improved them. In my free time, I work on my drawing and art skills.
I think my strengths as an eComm student are vector illustrations, logos, and 2D animations. I feel like vector illustrations come naturally to me, and I have improved at them as well. With logos, I found the logo project very fun and I enjoyed the thought process. With 2D animations, I wish that we had focussed more on 2D instead of 3D in animation class.
I think I need to improve my communications skills. I don't enjoy working in groups, and it is sometimes hard for me to communicate clearly what I need to. If I improved my communication skills, I think I would benefit from it in my eComm classes.
I most liked learning about Adobe Illustrator this year. It was very informative because I only knew how to use photoshop before. If I could change anything, I would have liked to learn how to make more digital illustrations in Photoshop. I would like to set the goal of putting even more effort into my graphic design projects. I conclusion, I think I had a better 2nd semester than 1st semester.
