When I entered this class in late August, I was nervous. With this being intro to design as well as illustration, I was anxious about my lack of drawing abilities. As the classes went on, I enjoyed learning that I wasn't going to draw everything and that my design was at my discretion. Being more at ease, I learned that many designs and layouts are not as daunting as I had imagined; this made starting or diving in less of an ordeal for me. Things like using the tablets to put doodles (the extent of my drawing abilities) in my projects & against my photos were pretty exciting when they all came together. I think more than anything I've found the ability to start--which is a problem for me. Having perfectionist tendencies, I tend to not start if I don't believe that I can output my idea exactly the way I want it in the end. Being able to start is huge; it's the beginning of everything else, and now that's a possibility.
So, here's to the beginning!
