Journal 1

Knowledge gained: This week I learned a lot about the design principles and elements, particularly in reference to the Rose Seidler house. Also, about colour theory and how to describe a colour in reference to the colour wheel. I also learnt about different drawing techniques to use when sketching architecture and interiors.

Challenges: No real challenges this week. I guess setting everything up and learning how to access course material and where to find resources but that was easy enough.

Successes & Strengths: I found a lot of the principals I had heard of before so it made it easier to understand when we were going through and felt like a refresher rather than brand-new content.

Application: I can start to practice more sketches and apply the drawing techniques we went over.

Areas for Improvement: I think I really need to work on my drawing, it is something that I currently really enjoy doing but I would say that I have lots of room for improvement.

Goals: This week coming, I will carve out in my diary to practice sketching. I will set a goal of finishing 2 sketches.

I think by the start of next week, I should be close to getting on top of it all.   Successes & Strengths : I feel confident with the basics of Photoshop. Application : I think the design principles and elements will continue to come up across all areas of study in design. I have started to try to talk about them more with my partner and point out things when I notice them in everyday life. Further to this, I have started to look up YouTube videos and podcasts that discuss them in projects. The more I hear others using them, the more I feel I will be able to use them.  Areas for Improvement : I find writing incredibly difficult. As the assessments are starting to need writing, I will go back and review the lessons on academic writing as it is an area I will need to brush up on. Goals : To g...

We are about to head into the last week of uni. I have really enjoyed this trimester and feel, for the most part, I have been on top of all my classes and uni work. I'm looking forward to submitting my last assignments and finishing up a good, solid block.  I think there are some improvements I could make for next semester, and I have outlined them in my last assignment for Introduction to Design.  All in all, a really good semester where I have learnt so much.
