C Mini Studio Week 1 Reflection
Through design, I want to build local communities that gathers people to confront each other whether if they are in friendly or hostile relationship, and find things that they can work on together. The thought encourage me towards learning about environments that will bring various people into one place, both digital and physical.
However, before diving into studying how to design such environments, I felt the need to have certain amount of proficiency in at least one area other than environments, between products and communication, provided by the school.
I chose communication due to its characteristic of creating numerous prototypes and iterations much more easily compared to products track, the global demand and accessibility towards it, forgivingness it has for mistakes, and the clarity in its visual rules and structure.
During the first week, analyzing the media provided in the class, it became very clear that the decision I made was a good one. Looking into the magazines to see not only their contents, but the grids, typefaces, and placement of different elements, gave me a sense of dissecting an organism. I look forward to gaining the eyes to see through the plain sight, see the essentials of various medias, and be able to apply them to my works.
