My Projects




The letterhead was very easy. Even easier to make than the business card. Like previously stated, the color scheme and ideas to base it off of was already given to me. However, this one didn't require as much information as the business card. One challenge I faced was putting the information on the letterhead and that was also the feedback given to me. I changed the information on it, like the address and email. But other than that the project was very straightforward. However, it did help my branding site a lot.

My Time in Class
My time was spent doing projects and I stayed productive a lot of the times. The only times I didn't stay productive was when I was done. Granted, I should've still done more graphic design practice when I was done with my projects but I got better at it over the course of the year. I have grown a lot in graphic design and using the tools given to me for it. Outside of class I draw and do some designing on thing such as my personal logo and practicing making designs. I plan on working on it over the summer as well.
Strengths and Weaknesses
My strengths were that I am very efficient in getting projects done, and done well. I am fairly decent at using Illustrator so my ideas are easily transferred to the computer. I believe that graphic design comes very naturally to me so I usually don't have a problem with the projects assigned. However, a weakness would be productivity. Since I usually don't need to spend a lot of times on the projects, I get distracted a lot in class. When I am finished with my work I don't tend to enhance it or make it better when I should.
Summary
I loved every project this semester. They all were fun and made graphic design interesting. I love the freedoms that graphic design gave me and I hope to keep improving even though I won't be in e-Comm next year. I want to keep working with Illustrator and even if graphic design isn't something I want to do with my life, I still don't regret taking as it helped me become a better artist and helped me learn so much more about graphic designing. Over the course of a year, I already improved so much. I look back over the year to projects that I can actually be proud of and see how much I've improved. I would definitely try a lot harder to improve, even if I already have improved a lot. i want work more outside of class and over the summer. Next semester I would like to redo my personal logo into something I can be proud of. I started out the year hating graphic design but now as I've actually done the projects and tried, it's become so much easier for me to do, and now I love it.
