Reflection
This module has been a roller-coaster of an experience! Never in my life
have I ever found myself looking forward to a class, as much as this
one. The absolutely chill, growth-centred, collaborative atmosphere creates an
incredible learning experience, that I'm sure anyone who has taken this
class would agree on. I appreciate Dr. Charles being real in a non-sugarcoating way. No toxic
positivity here, just realness!
This module has erased my misconception about design principles being a
restrictive hindrance to the creative process. It is anything but! It's
encouraged me to think deeper about what I want to convey, instead of
mindlessly making things that 'look nice'. I've developed a better
appreciation for other people's works and it's helped me to become more
thoughtful and analytical about them. It's also helped me slow down to
make meaning from my observations.
Design principles are meant to help you create a bridge between you and
your audience. They're a guide to effectively express and communicate what
you want, the way you intend to. I understand this better now!
I really enjoyed the creative freedom and space to experiment in this
module. It was exciting to see everyone's work, and I have learned a lot
from them as well. I'm lucky to have had such lovely classmates. We are all
very encouraging and supportive of one another, which is something that I
really value in a learning environment.
And ofcourse, Dr. Charles is truly a wonderful personality and his teaching is
exemplary. I am so grateful to have had him for my first semester. He's
set the bar immensely high for modern teaching in my opinion
ahah!
Though I am a bit sad that the semester has come to an end so fast, I'm
excited to carry forward what I have learned from Design Principles,
especially seeing how fundamental of a role they will play in everything
that comes next.
