Week 10 Wednesday's class

Well, it’s almost the end of the quarter and in today’s class we had an opportunity to talk with each other for a little bit. Then, Mr. Moss wrote on the board the things that we learned in this class. We learned to analyze a project and initiate investigative research by doing the CSULA project posters and analyzing the ideas about was successful and what was not about each one’s posters. We learned to Develop sources and inspiration for ideas by playing games and the experienced of playing them. Also, the TED videos were inspiring. We learned to articulate visual concepts with informative and accurate sketches by learning from each other and getting feedback. We just have an example of the style boards that communicate tone and personality for a design. The style boards are a collection of pictures that communicate mood and tone. We learned to generate many different ideas quickly by doing the 30 sketches and many more. Finally, we learned to develop appropriate ideas for experimental, editorial, corporate, entertainment applications, and write a creative brief. We actually did our own creative brief. What I learned in this class was to communicate more visually and develop my ideas further and do more sketching. This class Concept development as Mr. Moss described is a course of creative process, self analyzes, structure, and divergent thinking.

Week 7 Monday's class

Today’s class was fun; we did an exercise that involved communication and focus. Basically we have 2 objects one was a who and the other one was a what. So, the exercise started like this the leader introduced the object to the person next to it. So it goes this is a what and the person ask a what? And the leader says a what and the other says oh a what and introduced the object to the person next to it and they repeat the same thing and it keeps going back to the leader that started the game and the leader says yes is a what so again it goes back is a what and so on and so forth the same happen with the who. We couldn’t finish all the way through because it was confusing and it was more confusing when you have the two objects. I think this exercise taught us communication and how to be focus because if you were not focus you messed the whole exercise and we had to start all over again. After, we had an opportunity to share our autobiographies and it was interesting to look at them. Some did collages and some write and some paint. Finally, our homework is to create sketches for a poster that persuade students to study graphic design here at CSULA.
