During the whole semester I’ve learnt that graphic design is so much more than just designing graphics, and I’m really glad that I’m in that course since it gives me more roam to explore, secondly I’ve realized that I’m not so well exposed to what graphic design really is. We’ve been given a few examples of some works by some graphic designers that goes far beyond designing a space, they even design an experience, and I believe that I should investigate more on these designers works since I don’t have much ideas to create an experiential work. I’ve realized that I have to explore the available materials around me and how they could be used in a design, perhaps some symbolism as well.
