I commenced my enrolment for the online Certificate III course in Design Fundamentals three days ago. There has been much in the way of trepidation and nerves, because already there is so much to learn - and I'm still navigating my way through using the websites, course notes, colour theory and assessment guides. As is typical of starting out with something new, other stuff goes on and new stuff enters, reminding me at this point that I must remain focused on my intention and outcomes for this course, plan my time every day for study and assignments, and incorporate new time management skills so that everything I do in my day is set to a routine, while allowing myself the free time I will need to enjoy myself in a spontaneous fashion - a perfect balance! HA!
Enough about that. With each subsequent blog, it's about my visual diary, one which outlines my learning curve and development in the world of design. This will reflect challenges as I delve deeper into this area of learning and open areas of my brain which I would not otherwise use - or haven't used for a very long time. Fortunately, I'm a very visual person and I love exploring concepts of colour, texture and design. I'll even have the opportunity to sketch and draw again, and incorporate my love for photography. With all that, I will also learn to alter designs with photoshop and other such techniques. Even as I write this, the nervous knot in my stomach is already starting to loosen as I feel a rising sense of anticipation in what I will eventually produce.
So let the fun and games begin!
