Lab 6 Reflection
Journal:
In lab
6 we revisited our passed with Photoshop. To create a banner and a name plate
for ourselves. This got me thinking about web design a little and brought me to
this piece I wrote, “Web Design, where do I begin? My name is Thawsif Mursalin
and I am a junior now in high school learning about Digital Design. But before
I got to Digital Design my prerequisite class was web design. Web design was
all about creativity and accuracy. The main application that we had to use was
photoshop. While using photoshop most of our labs and projects were based on
taking good pictures and finding clever ways to make those pictures stand out.
I loved that class because you get to see yourself whenever you complete a
project, like a reflection. How much work you put into it has a significant
impact on what the outcome is. Even the slightest details are noticed so
nothing is a wasted move. This is why I love web design, this is what web
design means to me. Becoming the best version of myself.” This is what I
learned from my experience last year. I was able to create a simple banner from
this text that had me at a moment when I felt inspired.
Eventually
what I came up with in my name plate was a blue gradient style background. One
of my favorite colors to work with other than red or green because they were
too controversial and to vibrant to go with just any website was blue. Blue
allowed me to mold websites off the conflict of choosing colors that did not
complement each other very well. Blue was friendlier to the eye and worked with
a various amounts of colors. So my final decision was to go with blue. Then came
my name. I chose a bold font and a whitish blue text color because that is what
I thought might be my purest form. When I feel inspired white is my go to
color. Finally came the extras. I decided to add in white specs to represent
light or snow because of the way light or snow falls down to Earth in a
seemingly and heavenly bliss. The next extra was adding a lightning symbol to
represent my speed, agility, and dexterity. And finally a lightbulb to show my
devotion to apprehensive thinking. Also the lightbulb complemented the
lightning, converting creative light and harnessing that energy so that it may
not dissipate but instead be renewed once more. Essentially symbolizing a
second chance of renewal
