What Graphic Design means to me

What does Graphic Design mean?

Graphic Design is well known as communication design, and we really deal with it 24/7. Most people think this only done on computer but you need to realise that they are wrong and graphic design in done everywhere, all day, everyday.


What does Graphic Design mean to me? Well actually graphic design means many different things to me, but if I sat here and listed them all you would get bored because the list would really long. Anyways graphic design lets me explain who I am through my art and my designs, and that means a lot to me because in the real world with the real people I can't be who I want to be without everyone judging every single move I make. With graphic design it's like I can be free and not have to hold back on who I am there are no limitations, other than being myself and thats it.

Pencil Project

Part 1: The Basic Skills; 
For part one I just followed the instructions to the best of my ability even though it was kind of tricky at first. Even though this pencil isn't the best I still had fun making it, because it taught me how to use new tools to make very cool things, such as my pencil. The hardest part for me was creating the cup because every time I would try to make it, it would never work for me.

Part 2: Creating my Own Pencil & cup;
For this part I took my knowledge from creating the first pencil and applied into a more cool looking pencil with a somewhat matching cup for the pencil to go in. I changed the pencil a bit and even added a piece of paper with some "writing" on it. That was actually really fun for me to do cause I was practicing new skills that I have not learned yet.

Part 3: Making my 3rd pencil;
For my 3rd pencil I attempted to make a tree pencil, which was actually really fun to make, even though it wasn't the best quality at all it was still fun to try and get it to look like a tree. I think this was the hardest part for me for the main reason being I couldn't get anything to look like and this was the closet I got, if I had a longer period of time I could have come up with something a lot better than a "tree pencil".

Part 4: Two things that relate to each other;
I put a speaker and a "boom box" because they relate to each other and I really enjoy music. More than people realise because I have grown up on music and it explains me. I don't know anything else to write about this other than I made this because they relate to each other and I really love music.
