End of Semester Course Reflection

By
This course has improved the knowledge and skills I need for an interior design career. Not only have my drawing skills improved, but I have also obtained knowledge in planning and representing a clear and understandable design. The fact that the first few weeks of the semester were centered around improving drawing skills helped immensely when it came

I wanted to make my programming within the same colors that may be seen in the cafe. I believe this will help my presentation quality. I struggled when finding a place for the lounge and study area since it needs to be separated from loud areas such as the cash register and the coffee and creamer bar. Over

For my cafe, I'd like to make a comfortable environment that may make them feel at home. Since most of the student population lives in either a dorm or an apartment, I wanted to have an outdoor inspired cafe that makes you feel like you are relaxing in your own backyard. Pallet benches, lawn like accessories, lots of

The name I chose for my cafe is Bean There. I wanted simplicity with a bit of a hand-drawn and loose style for the logo. I decided on the colors of green and brown because it introduces a sense of  an organic quality.

The first picture is a few testings I did while trying to figure out my logo. The class liked the logo with the deer antlers the most.

Doyle Chapter 1 and 2 Understandings

I found the section labeled "Shade and Shadow" in chapter 1 to be most helpful. I never thought to think of shade and shadow as two different things while drawing.Remembering that all the shadows of all the verticals in the drawing will fall in the same direction is important. I feel that I sometimes struggle with this concept

While experimenting with my markers, I found that I enjoy using them on trace paper and vellum the most since they blend much easier on these soft papers. Bristol gives the markers a harsher, more clean-cut look which can be nice if that's the appeal you're looking for. I can see how the blending tool could come useful

I definitely struggled with this assignment when it came to perspective and showing the lighting condition. Getting the right shade of purple for the wall was difficult for me since I had mainly bright hues in my set of colored pencils.

I benefited mostly from the first worksheet out of the two of these. It helped me to truly grasp the concept between the hue, shade, and tint of a color. For example: the tint of yellow isn't as much of a difference to its hue as the shade of yellow is. However, blue is the opposite, to where

This exercise helped me to understand the process of drawing basic, contour shapes first and then to next add detail with tone and value. This makes a drawing more dimensional and realistic. I applied these techniques that I learned to my final drawing I did for the homework.

I found this exercise extremely helpful because it helped me to focus on perspectives. The blurriness of the film made it hard to look at every little detail.
