What Did I Learn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned quite a bit about the intangible aspects of design from Vignelli, which were ideas that I was never really taught in my art classes over the years. I’ve always understood most or all the tangible aspects, such as material, color, texture, form, all of that, but the ideas of timelessness, semantics, or the like were foreign from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was easier or harder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the Design Blitz quite easy, since I was able to go somewhere with plenty of material to use in the National Zoo. Sometimes the best designs are created by nature as opposed to man. As for what was harder, the VHS assignment was quite difficult for me to get down since I was never super big on the aesthetics of the time, but it was fun regardless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I improve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, practice. I know that’s a bit of a cop out answer, but there’s no other answer as correct as just continuously doing this type of thing until I perfect my craft. If you want more specifics, though, honing in on those intangibles and improving my resistance to the temptations of procrastination are what I need to work on. I want to make my art better, and I want to be able to do it without stressing myself out a ton about an imminent deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
