REFLACTION

This semester is coming to an end. Looking back on my learning experience during this period, I feel very fulfilled and satisfied. Through this course, I gained in-depth knowledge and skills in all aspects of character design, typeface design, Tiger poster design, story triptych, visual fiction and dynamic visual fiction.

First of all, character design is an important part of my learning process. I learned to create unique character images by drawing lines and shapes. By using different tools and techniques, I was able to give different personality traits to the characters, including expressions, poses and costumes. This allows me to create realistic and expressive characters and apply them to a variety of design projects.

In the design of randomly generated creative words, I also learned a lot of knowledge and skills, enriched my imagination, and combined the creative inspiration in my mind with the generated words to give the words a smart feeling.

In the Tiger poster design project, I used my learned skills and creativity to create a poster work. By choosing the right colors, composition and elements, I managed to convey the message and emotion that the poster was meant to convey. This project challenged my design ability and creativity and made me more familiar with the application of Illustrator in practice.

The Story triptych was another fun project that allowed me to tell a coherent story through multiple drawings. I learned to create multiple canvases in Illustrator and connect them together organically to form a complete narrative. By choosing the right colors and composition, I managed to convey the plot and emotion of the story, allowing the audience to feel the charm of the story through the drawings.

The visual novel and dynamic visual novel project was a high point in my learning process. By using layers and animations, I was able to create fantastic visuals. These projects required me to combine illustration, text, and animation elements into an interesting and expressive work. Through this project, I have a deep understanding of how graphic design and animation are combined, and how visual elements can be used to tell a story.
