It's Quantity Working to Quality : my reflection

I really had no idea what this class was all about, prior to the first day.  Coming in as a transfer student with graphic design and writing as my background, I figured visual communication might be some kind of wrapping of the two.  This is kind of what the class was like.  I definitely learned more about time management than I already knew.  I was used to a workload, but I was not use to a high quality workload. 

One of the largest concepts that I started to learn and am still trying to push myself to use it to its fullest is starting at quantity and working to quality.  My mind is set up at focusing on quality right away, not really allowing a large number of tests to be done on any project.  I have a fear of being wrong, which is what I often equate with design concepts that don’t work.  But I am slowly starting to accept quantity working to quality.

I also learned more about connotation and how everything has more connotations that we may realize.  To go along with this, one of the largest things that I realized was how complex one word can be.  I mean the whole semester’s assignments were based on one word that we were given.  All of the projects that we did were in no way exactly the same; instead it was different ways of viewing and portraying an object.  Although during the semester it was most likely more difficult for me to look at the word lawn and pull different aspects from it; but I am now happy that we did this.  It forced me to realize how complex even a most “basic word” is and how often we forget that and simply take a word at face value.
