Here’s my take away from the first official day of Design Development class. We went over a total of 20 rules for making a good design. Each of us were split into groups to go into further detail on four of them. One of the rules was, Create Images- Don’t scavenge. Unique, original design elements and pictures are extremely important within the design world.
Without a camera, it is also possible to generate attractive and visually appealing elements. For example, copying and pasting an abstract shape, changing its hue, and adjusting its blur filters could create a beautiful design.
Also, a little manipulation to a bad image can easily make it new and original. Changing the color and adding texture are some of the options to do so.
Overall, creating an image or set up completely from scratch is the best way to go about designing. Set up a photoshoot of a product, create some graphics that go along with it. Then, the rights of the product at the end will be all in your name. Telling someone you love that you made this full advertisement, poster, magazine, book, or whatever it is entirely by yourself is such an awesome feeling. I hope you get to experience it someday.
