Digital Photography & Imaging- WEEK 14

  LECTURES:

  • Starting from week 12 , there will no longer be formal lectures. Instead, we’ll focus on our individual projects .

Final Project : Digital Imaging
  • This week, I mainly focused on icon design. At first, I felt a bit lost and wasn't sure how to get started.
  • First, I looked for the icons provided by Honor, such as the computer icon, to use as references. Then, I started thinking about the color scheme. I decided to base the icon colors on my wallpaper, using shades from the same color family—one darker and one lighter—to create a consistent look.

Process 1

Process 2

  • When I checked the submission requirements on Honor's official design competition page, I wasn’t sure whether I needed to design for both screens or just one. So, I decided to focus only on the normal screen icon design.

Final Outcome:



REFLECTIVE:

  • To be honest, I personally found this final project to be extremely interesting and rewarding. What mattered most to me wasn’t just the final outcome, but the valuable things I learned throughout the process. For example, I gained a much deeper understanding of poster layout and composition, how to effectively integrate animation elements, and how to use collage techniques to enhance visual impact. Through repeated practice and exploration, I became more proficient and confident in using Photoshop. I learned how to use different tools more efficiently, from layering and masking to applying effects .This project not only strengthened my technical skills, but also helped me develop a more refined design sense and creative workflow.
