Wrap-up MERCER

When I learned I had to take this course, I was initially very upset. I don't consider myself a visual or creative person, generally speaking, and I was truly worried about the time commitment that everyone complains about so much! I was completely and pleasantly surprised by this course.

Never before have I considered font and type face important. Never did I think of the Rule of Thirds. I didn't know that you could make a visual without using a photograph! Honestly this course has taught me a lot, even to a frustrating point- I can't look at anything without picking apart all its design elements!

My favorite project was the poster one because I was able to think of a cool idea on my own and really run with it. I usually got frustrated during projects because I would have great ideas, but the execution would prove to be way harder than I thought. With this project, my final poster looked exactly as I wanted it to! My least favorite was, to my surprise, the resume. This project had me feeling least creative and I really didn't do a good job on it. I preferred the more difficult and time-consuming ones because I was able to conceptualize cooler ideas.

I'm really happy to have taken this course and I would love to take another graphics course! Thanks Paul for being great!
