REFLECTION

Experience

First of all, I would like to thank the two teachers for their patient guidance, which enabled me to understand the content of typography. The teachers taught us how to use design software, such as photoshop, illustrator and indesign. During the learning process of these weeks, I have learned the rules, text format, text alignment, font animation and so on. These not only improve my design ability, but also improve my aesthetic ability, the class atmosphere is very good. I met some difficulties in the follow-up practice. I benefited a lot from communicating with classmates and asking teachers. Although the learning process is not smooth, but I feel that design is a very beautiful thing, can be said to be painful and happy, I hope I can achieve higher achievements in the future study. I will also set reasonable goals for myself and achieve my own wishes step by step. I hope that the future study will be as smooth as now!

Observation

Design is not as difficult as I imagined. In the process of learning, I got a lot of useful knowledge, which can help me become better in the later life. I also found a lot of problems, such as my carelessness caused many mistakes, but after the teacher's patient guidance, I have corrected these mistakes, I will continue to observe the knowledge of typography, so as to make my works more meaningful

Discover

After this period of study, I found the role of typesetting. The visual effect presented by typesetting is very important, and it can bring different feelings to people. This is why we should learn typesetting, and it is necessary to make the layout of text reasonable and beautiful. The effect of different font samples on the overall visual effect is also different. These are worthy of our serious thinking and in-depth study, and we need to improve our aesthetic level and sensitivity, and have the courage to innovate.

In this task, I will choose one of the three sketches with different compositions as my final sketch. Because the original picture doesn't have a clear focus, all the three compositions I drew give the picture a relatively obvious focus, so it seems that there may be some big changes. I think the content in the second composition picture is the richest. After my consideration, I chose the second sketch. my sketch in task 2 On the basis of this draft, I began to create this complete final task. According to the second draft I drew, I drew the general position of the plant first, and then I will continue to draw on this layer. Because its function is simply to ...

Points used as repetitive markers can form a line. When a point moves in space, other 2D and 3D graphics and forms can be created. B. Line There are many kinds of lines, such as active or static, active or passive, emotional or mechanical. Lines can indicate the direction, define the boundary between shape and space, and imply volume or solid mass, movement or emotion. The quality of light and shadow can also be described by grouped lines, and patterns and textures are formed. C. Shape A wide area within the outline of a two-dimensional area or within a three-dimensional object can be called a shape. Shapes become visible when one or more lines surround an area, or when obvious changes in brightness, color or texture separate an area from its surroundings. Shapes are divid...
