Looking Back...

     In Digital Media I have learned a lot. I learned how to edit photos, make generative art, (before I didn't even know what it was), how to make a website and a blog, how to make a mashup video, how to calculate resolution and megapixels, and how to make a 3D model. So you could say I learned quite a few things. Overall I have improved all of my skills. I re-learned, so to speak, how to use Photoshop. We used an online program just like it and it dawned on me that I already knew how to do all of this stuff, I just needed to be reminded. 

     Throughout this course I have accomplished a lot. I accomplished making things that I thought I couldn't make. I have also acquired some new skills. Some of those skills will help me in the real world. They will help me get high up in the job world, or so I hope. As I move forward in the field of graphic design, I hope to let people see my artwork. I also want people to see how my work has grown since high school. I want to pursue my career in graphic design even further. I want to be the best I can be. I want to be a famous graphic designer that everyone knows and everyone wants to hire. 

     Taking this course has taught me a lot of useful things. I learned that I can get things in when I have a deadline. I also learned that I can take criticism. Although I don't like it, like most people, it gives me the opposite side of my work. When someone doesn't like my work, I listen to them and then I may or may not change my artwork. Criticism helps me create better art. On the other hand, when it comes to giving criticism I sometimes can't do it. When I want to tell people they could change something, I chicken out and don't tell them. But since this course, I have gotten better. 

     My problem-solving skills have gotten better too. All throughout this course I have had to create and think of my projects. Every single one of my projects have been thought through a lot. It took me most of the week to get my projects right. Taking this course has helped me so much. It helped me added to my portfolio, which is always good. Overall this was one of my favorite classes that I took this semester. (Usually all my art classes are my favorite). I plan on continuing using my website and my blog. Like I said multiple times before, it is a good way to get my artwork out in the world.
