Study Task

What I've learned on the course

1. Commercial print processes
2. Analog print methods
3. Critical thinking on graphic design
4. The design world outside of college
5.  Graphic design itself. I had little knowledge prior to enrolling.

What I want to learn more about

1. Type design
2. New Wave design that is grounded on modernist principles. "The only way to break typographic rules was to know them" - Wolfgang Weingart
3. The creative events happening near me
4. The intricacies of editorial design–to pay attention to more of the little details that create engaging layouts that are contextual to the content.
5. Modernism–to learn about the rules in creating "good design", but not to recreate International Style.

What I want to improve

1. Effective use of typography. What typeface to use for copy, for display, how to lay it out, etc. 
2. The quality of my final submissions. To be able to create a more professional looking pieces of design
3. Being multidisciplinary, focusing too much on one facet of graphic design may not be the best choice as design studios today are often multi disciplinary. 
4. Screenprinting technique. More often then not, I produce uneven registrations and am not proficient with the process.
5. Being more willing to reach out to creatives
