Persona Poster Reflection

Lucas on

The portrait even though its  appearance does not look like me but, The physiological/inner ‘illustration’ part does (Like the emotion) .

It represents a once trapped but released environment. As you can see in the poster chains attached onto the body is breaking away. The shadow on the right side of the poster resembles emotion. You were once trapped by it when you were small. But now the chains that bind you and hid you from everything is breaking. Only half of the body is in shadows now.

 

After this project I have learned that choosing an attainable and practical to reaching the project deadline. This would allow me to focus on the quality of the work rather than attempting to cram to much stuff into it/

I was able to successfully illustrate and complete the poster which only several minor aspects was not attached to the project. The biggest success was this knowledge that I gained about the  pen tool.  The repetitive tracing gave me ample opportunity to learn and master this technique with action.

Persona Poster Me as a designer!

My inspiration:

  • What is Graphic design?

Graphic design is to design pictures, illustrations, etc. It is a way for creators to communicate messages. To express what your mind is imagining and critical thinking.

  • What inspires me about design?

Creating and designing allows you to draw/design down your ideas in your mind. Like wanting to draw a character in a creative story you have wrote or just simply copying something off in real life and drawing it on a piece of paper.

Go to my Graphic Design Padlet for my favorite design and examples of inspiration!

  • Who are my favorite designers?
  • Lucas Duan <–Best Designer.

Me as a designer:

  • What’s my most memorable experience designing (or creating) something? Why?

My most outstanding experience designing something was for a story that I began writing in the sprint of 2020. It was an adventure tale that had some fantasy elements to it. There were a lot of geographical locations so a map of the world that i created was needed. It was my first semi-large illustration project that I had to do all by myself. Creating the map helped to keep continuity in the story too!

  • What would I like to get better at doing as a designer? (Eg drawing, presenting, digital design, fabrication, photo-editing, sharing, collaborating, etc)

I would like to better organize the individual elements and layers in my deisgn projects. At the same time, I would like to devlop my photo editing techniques and illustrations. Also the deadline of a project too. ;-;

  • What do I already do pretty well? (Eg drawing, presenting, digital design, fabrication, photo-editing, sharing, collaborating, etc)

I have done well at critical thinking and the creation of ideas.  Also putting a pencil to a paper and presenting drawing.

SWOT Analysis

Lucas on

SWOT Analysis  

Weaknesses- 

Reading 

I don’t really like reading, and I’m not fast at it either. So by reading more than usual. I would like to speed up how fast I read. 

 

Opportunities- 

Thinking critically 

I think a new school and a new environment can have many opportunities. In a new environment, nobody knows who you are, that allows you to build yourself from scratch again. Thinking critically means I actually use my head for assessments and other opportunities. 

 

Strength –  

Writing. 

Writing is one of my hobbies that I love to do. I mainly write short stories with protagonists because I watch anime too much. 

 

Threats- 

Laziness. 

Laziness could really be a threat. It happens to almost everyone when there is a massive amount of work In front of us there is often stress, and laziness.  

 

Goal- 

By really focusing when I am reading, I would like to increase the amount of vocabulary I know and the speed that I read. I will know that I have achieved this goal by the number of books I read per month.
