What is Graphic design?
Graphic design is the use of combining different visuals and text to communicate a message to the audience.
What inspires me about design?
The many different ways that design can be interpreted.
My favourite design examples:
This is my persona poster:
Persona Poster by Emily
How does the style of the poster reflect who I am?
The poster has a more flowy yet precise style. It reflects two different sides of me, I sometimes want to do everything perfectly, and sometimes I just go with what I have already.
What are some of the design choices I have made with my representation of my poster?
Some of the design choices I made were choosing to hand-draw my self-portrait, choosing a pastel colour palette, and the different fonts used in the poster.
What are some successes of my poster, and what would I do differently next time?
Some of the successes of my poster are its aesthetic quality, the portrait that is drawn 2D but at the same time has some amount of detail. If I had the chance to do this again, I would manage my time more efficiently to avoid rushing a bit to get everything done.
Hi Emily, your poster looks so nice! The colours and style are working really well together. Please email me the full-size PDF so I can print it.
I hope you are pleased with your portrait, you showed a lot of determination to learn the technique and it’s looking super.
