Wrap up post

I must say that when I first began this class,I was extremely nervous about it. I always considered myself not artistic nor creative, so the idea of a graphics class was a bit intimidating. I remember Hedges saying the first day of class, "I love when students say they are not creative, because I want to show them they are!" I honestly did not really believe it. Well, now having finished the class, I can say that he definitely had some truth to this statement. I am really impressed with the types of projects we were able to create in my first ever graphics class. I also really enjoyed every part of this class. The work we had to do was unlike anything else I have ever done before with programs I had never even heard of. It is so crazy to me to see some of the things I have created in this class. Yes, it was a lot of work and involved a lot of effort and time, but in the end, it was an exciting accomplishment to see what I have done in this class.
I have also never realized how graphics is incorporated into everything around us. Designs, typefaces, colors, sizes, logos are everywhere. Now when I see all of this things around me, I can think about how much thought and planning went into them to make sure they portray the correct message to the viewer. I never really thought something like a typeface would matter, but now I see that they are each specifically designed. I really think that I have learned some great skills and new programs that will be able to help me in my future courses and hopefully in my public relations work some day.
