Design Practice

Design practice course was combined in 2 semesters and now it has officially ended. Through this course, I was able to experience various styles of design such as animation, character design, posters and installation. Those various design style helped me to use more tools that I haven't used and made me to think more careful when I start to think about topic for the design. I also learned that design needs to be based on people's cultures and society rules to reach more friendly to users and to not hurt their beliefs and cultures.

Design practice course showed me a lot on how design can affect on social and people and in the future, how designers can approach to their users to suggest better direction to people. Because we did such a lot of things in the short semester, it was quite hard to calm myself and come up with ideas for my design. The year 2 might be more chaotic and hectic so I will try to get used to this kinds of situations.

Overall, design practice taught me on the side that I haven't thought about. I will keep thinking about things I learned about design and will design based on those ethics. Also, I will try out more on different software to express my thoughts and ideas visually. Both semesters passed really fast. Sometimes it was hard but it was fun to see the progress and the improvement of what I did throughout the whole semester. I hope in year 2, I can improve more than year1.
