Sometimes, I sigh and ask myself why did I take up Graphics Design in the first place.
Im going to be really honest, graphicdesign course is the busiest, most hands on course Ive ever taken so far, if not this semester.
I never was familiar with Mr.Deepak's teaching style as its my first time taking Graphics.
Everyday in class, he will talk about Elements of design, principles of design, and we have to blog about it, present about it and do reports about it.
I found it unnecessary and annoying at first ( the elements, not the lecturer ).
Whats with having to repeat the same thing again and again until I can memorize what the elements and principles are ?
Whats the point ?
After few weeks, I FINALLY, deep down in my heart, understood why its useful.
Now whenever I see a picture, or an image or a view
My head will automatically apply the elements and the principles of design, and in my mind, I will realize whether or not the art or picture is a good art or not.
Suddenly I understood why the elements and principles were important.
And everything I see through my both eyes, is different compared to before knowing what design is all about. Its a whole different view and aspect now.
Everything now has an angle, whether or not theres repetition, whether or not theres emphasis...
It all makes sense now.
I will have to thank my lecturer for making me learn.
Reminds me of primary school again, we hate doing homework and writing words again and again, but it only makes us better in time, and we will understand as we grow older.
