From the Blue Jay Poster, I think I have grown creatively in the way I create designs and layouts. At the beginning of the year I didn't really understand proximity or know what I was doing, but now I feel I have a much better understanding of how to create a good layout and why certain things work. The project I think I enjoyed most this year was creating the Art and Literary magazine. Sometimes it was stressful that I couldn't control everything, but it was super fun watching everything come together and working with other people is definitely a necessary skill. The project I enjoyed the least this year was the self portrait. I hated having to create something that I feel is representative of me, because I don't really know how to make that into a visual. The skills I've learned in this class have definitely been useful to me. I use them for my more creative school assignments, for Instagram, and next year I'll use them to create posters for the Tutor Center since I'm a tutor leader. I definitely see myself continuing to use these skills. I love this class, so I'm TAing next year :), and I'm going to try to major in graphic design. I do consider myself to be an artist/designer because it's something I like doing and that brings me joy. One thing that I would've like to learn more of in this class is how to use some of the other tools in Illustrator and InDesign, although I can probably look up what those tools do myself.
