It is very overwhelming that the semester has finally come to an end, but I am very grateful for all the feedback I have gotten on my project! I can see how much my designs have gotten better as the semester progressed.
This project was definitely a very fun one because we got to choose what it was going to be about. I learned that I have strong photo editing skills which I had not heard before! I will definitely be continuing this challenge so I can build a good portfolio from it.
I had never realized that my photo selection process is very time consuming. Although the designs I recreated seemed so simple, I trained myself to actually look at every specific detail within the inspo composition. Since York gives us access to lynda.com and I know my typography skills aren’t the greatest, I am going to watch the tutorials on there to hopefully get better!
Directions I had missed was getting a generator/plug-in for my magazine spreads. The one I did end up finding unfortunately was not free and would put a watermark right on top.
Overall I really appreciate this class because it challenged me more by working on good pieces for my design portfolio to show potential employers in the future.
