Media150 Class Review

Taking Media150 I have learned to truly appreciate the time and dedication put into creating certain mediums. I have also gained so much more respect for the depth of thought put into style whether it is photography or cinematography or even graphic design. This class has taught me a lot about the past and a lot about the present. One thing I will always keep in mind is how far communications has come in our world today and how much people take it for granted. Taking this class I feel like has opened my eyes to look at things I didnt really pay much attention to in design for example fonts, and focal lengths, and colors. Developing the right medium to express the meaning one is trying to reach takes alot of thought and effort, you cant just open up photoshop and create a postage stamp, nor can you just snap a picture and expect it to be amazing, these kinds of things take alot of thought and energy if they are going to be done properly. I think the fact that this class is a lecture combined with a lab is perfect because in lecture I got to hear some of the opinions of many students and in lab it was a more intimate environment where I really got to know some people and understand why they choose certain styles over others. I look forward to taking the second half of this class and also look forward to creating more intriquite mediums paying extreme attention to design,composition, and stlye.
