Master’s Reflective Journaling – Week 6
My mind is kind of blown by the fact that it’s almost the end of my first course in my Masters program. It’s something I didn’t think I’d ever get around to doing but was always an aspiration of mine 🙂 This week focused on type and it did not...Master’s Reflective Journaling – Week 5
This week was the intro into visual design. Similar to some of the basics of psychology that influence design, it was nice to get a reminder of the principles of visual design.
