I think that it has not quite hit me yet that this is my last submission and that we are at the end of our first semester in university.
This project has been an interesting one because it makes one reflect on themselves: what makes them who they are, what makes them unique, how do people perceive them. The list of question goes on. While I may perceive myself as reserved and timid and therefore represent myself as a rabbit, my friends see the rabbit and link it to me being a generally gentle person but when forced to fight for what I want or to protect the things I cherish, I will fight and fiercely so. Through this assignment, we get to explore our own perceptions of ourselves as well as the perceptions that others have of us and from there learn to communicate these perceptions through visuals: the subject matter in the illustrations, the colours used etc. It’s been an exciting few weeks bugging my friends with questions to try to figure out their perception of me and doing quite a bit of self-reflection to try to figure myself out as a person.
This module has been really interesting and honestly, it is my favourite because it is most similar to graphic design. To Shirley, it has been a fun semester with you. Thank you so much for your guidance this entire semester and omigosh, I hope to take typography under you in year 2 woohoo.
Peace out.
