What kind of learner am I?

Standard

Personally, i would think that I am a visual learner. When lessons or new things are being taught, if i wrote the things down, it will cause a better learning result. For one, i know that i can’t remember the huge amount of information in a short time for very long. If I were to read a textbook, i would usually remember it by which part of the page it is placed under. This definitely helped me in learning things.

I took a test from one of our classmate’s link too, to have a little test

What’s Your Learning Style? The Results

Your Scores:

  • Auditory: 25%
  • Visual: 50%
  • Tactile: 25%

You are a Visual learner! Check out the information below, or view all of the learning styles.

Visual

If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures. You understand and remember things by sight. You can picture what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual. You like to see what you are learning.

As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or remember something, and you will find something to watch if you become bored. You may have difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds. You are attracted to color and to spoken language (like stories) that is rich in imagery.

Here are some things that visual learners like you can do to learn better:

  • Sit near the front of the classroom. (It won’t mean you’re the teacher’s pet!)
  • Have your eyesight checked on a regular basis.
  • Use flashcards to learn new words.
  • Try to visualize things that you hear or things that are read to you.
  • Write down key words, ideas, or instructions.
  • Draw pictures to help explain new concepts and then explain the pictures.
  • Color code things.
  • Avoid distractions during study times.

Remember that you need to see things, not just hear things, to learn well.

One of the questions i found interesting was, “if u met a person at the party, how would you remember the person?” my answer was i would remember the face, but not the name. I see the face “physically” but not the name. if it was written, i might have remembered it more clearly? I shall try this next time.

Another thing that i found out is that, if i dont remember the person’s face or name, sometimes, i am able to recognise them (find them familiar) by their voices. Could this be one of my other learning style too?

However, even if i have a “best” learning style, I think that it is still good to try to incorporate the different styles for learning. Not all subjects will suit a “visual” learning. It is good for us to slowly find out through experience and time about that suits which style the best

Hello! A short introduction and mini self-exploration(?) project!

16-01-31-00-15-39-683_deco-min

started with the simple writing of my name and exploring the different ways to write it…

 

And while i was working, i suddenly remembered a name that my classmates used to call when i was young. It was colgate. colgate luan, Koh Gek luan, hear it?ww while i will reply them by saying yea~ i own the company.

colgate

First Design: Colgate

I began to play around with the idea of the colgate toothpaste and i decided that this is the identity that i want to go with. Amongst the many colgate, find me, I am the real one. Also, there is only 1 unique me.

 

 

luan

2nd Design: Luan

I was never considered a “neat” person since young. I would often ask my parent jokingly, why u name me as Luan, which caused me to be so messy. Luan and the chinese character 乱 looks alike and so i link them together to create this

playing around with the filters. kind of fitting for my messiness,isnt it?w                                                                         

And the last design, a pair of bells.

bellsI did some research on the meaning of the characters of my name, and found out that my 銮(luan) actually refers to all things emperor in the past. so anything related to the emperor will have a luan character before them. (wow such importance) and it also refers to bells. I like the crisp sounds that bells produce and hence i used it to represent me in this 3rd namecard.

Typographic Portrait : Initial Referencing

Standard

I was pretty lost when i saw the project brief, typography? and portrait? Does it refer to the ones using words and a portrait is formed? the examples were pretty interesting but i was still unsure of what i should be doing.

I decided to find out what are the interesting methods and presentation that interests me. Here are the references that I found.

From these primary search, there are things that interested me. Mainly: Nature,watercolour and cut outs! I will be trying out in this direction
