The year is coming to an end. I have been asked to summarize my experience
as a design student, using my blog as a point of reference. When the FDA
program began, we were asked to create a blog, personally I loved the idea!
But, when it came time to start the blog it became a little difficult especially
with design, what do I post? what do I say? Some students had no problem
they either had already created a blog and or have had some experience with
it. For me this was some- thing new. The idea seemed great to have a space to
share my work, and show the world my work : drawings, designs, as well as
my first stop motion project. I soon realized it would take a while to create
this blog and it is more than a place to just hang pictures, is a place where I
can share my experiments, my school projects. In my personal experience, I
believe that having more workshops would help a new student to breakdown
projects and work. I think at the same time it encour- ages one to share and
explain work on his/her blog.
Actually along of the course I was have some problems. I never had tried to write like a designer before. I knew what I liked, but I did not know how to explain it without sounding boring, and less bright. With time I have learned more because I have been interested in checking out more blogs from different designers. I could say now that I have a better understanding on how to design a blog. I can add better postings to my blog and more work. One thing that made me realize how good having a blog is, it was the fact that two weeks ago some friend who works in a visual effects company ask my to help them create a logo for the company. I was so excited about the idea to have this chance. Showing my work, my progress, my mistakes, and not worrying about how other people was going to perceive me. I need to have more confidence in my self, that’s somethink I need to work on. For me is hard to write in English and the same time express myself. I need my time to try to show who I am, what I’m in- terested in, what I like, and what I think about anything related to visual culture, is something I want to do better. I think the idea to do the summarize blog is good for me because of this. I can try to talk about myself and how I feel about my blog. Something that I need to do in my blog more often, ask for opinion from my teachers and try to do my best. Sometimes is good to receive criticism and thinking of ways to amend the mistakes and try to do the best I can for my future as a designer. Sorry for the mistakes.
