Final show - reflection

Reflection,

With the final show classes, I was glad to have opportunities making a logo, designing a poster, or planning my exhibition that I was not interested in at all before having this class. Going to an exhibition and seeing or appreciating it is one of my favorite things, but I never imagined and never expected to do it for my own exhibition. This class was not that easy indeed. Once I had to write everything down critically which is the most insufficient ability for me and needed deep research and understanding. When designing a logo, I saw a friend making a logo herself and saw her using an Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to make my own logo unique and rare, so I sketched it and finished it by drawing it for 5 hours with an Adobe Illustrator, but unfortunately, I didn't get good feedback. The reason was that the logo did not have my name or feature well. With the feedback of the tutor in the tutorial, I made it through the logo maker website again, and it was much cleaner and more effective. If I have to make a logo again later, I think I can use it usefully. Also, when I made mood boards and posters, I only thought about Photoshop as a tool to create those, but I got to know helpful websites through the final show classes. On the websites, I could find pictures that were not copyrighted and put them on my mood board or poster and select a template. I liked to use it because I could make it much more effective and faster than making it myself with Photoshop. Due to the big issues these days, many exhibitions are closed, so I felt hugely ashamed because I couldn't go to exhibitions related to the progression route. But through this course, I was able to look up recent online exhibitions on the museum website and study them. I regret that I did not put much attention and effort into this class because I focused more on the art portfolio, but my experiences so far will be very helpful to my future study and opportunities.
