My inspiration:

• What is Graphic design?
  • Graphic design uses visual art to share a message, being visually appealing and informing to the audience.
• What inspires me about design?
  • Seeing other designs through different means inspires me! I often see blogs on apps like amino with creative and pretty designs.

Me as a designer:

• What’s my most memorable experience designing (or creating) something? Why?
  • In all honesty, I don’t really remember much about the actual design but rather the learning and the creating process to get to the final outcome. However, last year in Product Design, we created a lightbox which I’m really proud of.
• What would I like to get better at doing as a designer?
  • Using the ISB Design Cycle more and learning about makes specific designs better than others.
• What do already do pretty well?
  • For me, I’m more interested in learning more about design as I had taken design courses before, so I’m more interested in expanding what I know about the design process and incorporating it into a more specific type of design.

Digital Portrait Inspiration:

Persona Poster:

• Explain how the style of your self-portrait reflects who you are
  • I believe the style is relatively simple compared to some of the other students, which I tend to lean towards.
• Explain some of the design choices you made with your presentation poster (use screenshots if possible)
  • 
  • I think these three screenshots effectively show my progress over the weeks we’ve worked on the project. For the poster design, I really like the idea of a collage and then simple text that surrounds the empty space. For me, simple designs that still make the area feel “not-empty” is something I prefer.
• Reflect on the successes of your poster and explain what you would do differently next time
  • For a first try using any form of digital art, I think it’s a success that I’m proud of. However, I have much to learn about what could make it a better design throughout the course, and I think by the end of the course, I’d like to look back on the design and see points I could improve on.
