The subject was mainly about company visual identity (VI) design, which was taught by a middle-aged Italian professional teacher Greg, a very easy-going and talkative person, with an amusing teaching method and rich facial expressions and gestures. I also feel that Greg's quite well-read and experienced in graphic design. At the beginning of the lesson, we were assigned a task of imaging that we work for a company providing services or products for children, like candy companies, toy companies, etc, and we need to provide a business image design concept for the company, namely business cards, logos and brochures.
At first, we were set in 3 groups, with 3-5 students in each group, discussing and processing our ideas. Then, we did some interviews and Desktop Research and then did some teamwork of framing and drawing our concepts. And finally, in the last lesson, each group would choose a person to give a presentation about what they had done. Unluckily, I was chosen as the one who gave the presentation. I don't have any sense of satisfaction of the performance I did, cause I performed painfully remarkably with a lot of hesitation and uncertainty.
From the experience, I've realised the importance of innovation, cooperation and eloquence while studying at college, and I believe those qualities are also crucial outside school. I mean, in the job market, people who are creative, cooperative and eloquent are prone to be successful.
