Semester Reflection

During this semester, I learned a lot about graphic design. I learned many tools and effects and programs within Illustrator and Photoshop. Now I really appericiate what graphic designers do because I found some of the things we did hard. Next semester, I would like to learn to do more collages and be able to use colors in our designs. I would also like to do more things using the pen tool and like the cross the road assignment.

Review Week 17

Yes I did learn something. I learned new vocab words like counter, bowl, spine, terminal, stem, and ligature. I also learned that serifs are just the parts that extend, not the entire dash/line at teh bottom of a letter. I aslo learned the difference between adnate and abrupt serifs.
