Thinking back to a time where I knew nothing about graphic design and what graphic designers do, that would be before I took my graphic design class in high school. So prior to that, I don’t really know what I thought what graphic design is prior to watching the video because the video was more of a review for me. But if I’m going to guess, I would’ve thought that graphic design is strictly limited to logos and business cards and all that. Before taking the class, I did not have any experience with graphic design, nor did I ever think about taking into consideration the principles of design when I did my drawings.

As of now, I’ve taken 1 graphic design class, and currently taking another one (this class). I’ve taken a multimedia class before, and it does brush up on the concept of how design works (in a way), so that did help me gain some more experience in this field. I know the experience doesn’t seem a lot, but the high school class I’ve taken was with this teacher who I consider my mentor, since he pushed me and helped me develop my skills in such little time. He helped me become skillful that I was confident enough to take on some personal and professional design projects. What I know and remembered in the video for this week was that: graphic design is not limited to such little things such as logos and business cards, it is much broader than that. Graphic designers build a design that helps their clients or themselves communicate better communicate an idea. What I consider a good design would be something simple and still effectively conveys the idea it’s supposed to carry. What do you think makes for a good design?
