Overall reflection

Before taking this module I had no Idea about design basics and principles, I learned that there are a lot of steps a designer or an artist should make to obtain a good and balanced artwork. It is a detailed process. 

At the beginning I didn't really understood what is this module about, then I started to realize the importance of it. i learned new design principles each week, I liked the way lessons were made and how interactive the tutorial sessions were.

I was able to show my progress to my lecturer Dr. Jinchi, she always helped me with her feedback and advise. 

I think I improved since the beginning of the semester, my designs became more meaningful, I learned how to express my self and my thoughts through my designs. I learned how to use the design principles and how to make a balanced and visually pleasing artworks. 

I used the knowledge I gained in this module in all other projects from other modules. 

I became more careful when it comes to details, now I see art and design from a different perspective. With the knowledge I obtained from this module I see artworks as an artist and not as a normal observer.

I learned how to analyse other designs, and how to take ideas and inspiration from them.

The most important thing I learned from this module, which I was lacking is visual exploration. Before, I was struggling to do artworks, now it's easier when I look to other artists works and designs. I can even create and develop my own art-style by looking at references.

Finally, I learned how to describe my artworks to the observers and audience. It is crucial to have a story or an idea behind your design, and it is even more important to be able to explain it to the clients or people who are seeing it verbally, I'm improving my documentation and narrative thanks to this module and Dr. Jinchi's advise.
